Yes, there is negative marking in the Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) sections of IPMAT. Typically, +4 marks are awarded for each correct answer and -1 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer in MCQs. However, the Short Answer (SA) Quantitative section does not carry negative marking. The exact marking scheme is mentioned in the official notification each year, and candidates must verify it before appearing for the exam.
