Primary answer

The GATE exam includes three types of questions: Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), Multiple Select Questions (MSQs), and Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions. MCQs have one correct answer among four options and include negative marking for incorrect responses. MSQs may have multiple correct answers and do not have negative marking. NAT questions require candidates to enter a numerical value using the virtual keyboard, and there is no negative marking for these questions.
