Yes, negative marking applies only to Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs). For 1-mark MCQs, 1/3 mark is deducted for an incorrect answer. For 2-mark MCQs, 2/3 mark is deducted for an incorrect answer. There is no negative marking for Multiple Select Questions (MSQs) and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions.
