Hi Nidhi
There is no negative marking for PESSAT 2021.
The PESSAT exam includes 4 subjects Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and English for B.Tech candidates.
The exam is conducted for 180 marks. Mathematics is for 60 marks, Physics for 60 marks, Chemistry for 40 marks and English is for 20 marks.
Each question will carry 1 mark. There will be no negative marking for incorrect answer.
Also, due to covid situation 30% of the syllabus has been deducted for PESSAT 2021. So you won't be getting questions from the eliminated portion.
As per the latest updates PESSAT 2021 is going to be conducted from 30 July to 20 August 2021.
So prepare well for the exam
All the best

Dear Aspirant,
Yes, there is negative marking for each incorrect answer you give. It's -1/4 or -0.25 per wrong answer. I assure you. So, I suggest don't attempt all the question thinking there is no negative marking. I am providing you a link to a website which contains updated information about this exam. You can completely trust this website.
