Hello aspirant,

Yes, absolutely. There is negative marking in GATE exam.

0.33 marks will be deducted for a wrong answer, if you are doing 1 mark multiple choice questions. Similarly, 0.667 marks will be deducted if you give a wrong answer in multiple choice questions consisting of 2 marks and no negative marks for numerical answer type questions.

So be careful while solving the questions in GATE exam.

Hope, it helps you.
