Hello candidate,

Negative marking means if you answer a question wrong in an exam, some marks are cut from your score. You get marks for right answers, but for wrong ones, marks are reduced. It’s done to stop students from guessing answers.

For an example , if you scored 78 out of 100 and wrong questions is 9, and in your exam there is 1/3 negative marking, then for every 3 wrong answers, 1 mark will be cut. So, 3 marks will be deducted from your score. It means now your marks are 75.

Hello

Negative marking means marks are deducted for wrong answers in an exam. It is commonly used in competitive exams like JEE, NEET, etc.

The purpose is to discourage guessing and encourage accuracy. For example, if a wrong answer leads to -1 mark, it is called negative marking. It helps in ensuring a fair and careful evaluation of candidates.
