Primary answer
Section A (Psychometric) and Section B (Descriptive) have no negative marking. Section A is a qualifier, meaning its marks are not added to the total but must be passed for further evaluation. Section C (Aptitude) follows a marking scheme of +1 for every correct answer and a negative marking of -0.25 for every incorrect response. Unattempted questions do not attract any negative marks.
