Category-1
- Only one option is correct.
- The correct response will yield 1 (one) mark for each question.
- The incorrect response will yield -¼ (25% negative) marks for each question.
- For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the correct option, they said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield -¼ (25% negative) marks.
- Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Category-2
- Only one option is correct.
- The correct response will yield 2(two) marks for each question.
- The incorrect response will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks for each question.
- For any combination of more than one option, even if it contains the correct option, the said answer will be treated as incorrect and will yield -1/2 (25% negative) marks.
- Not attempting the question will fetch zero mark.
Category-3
- One or more option(s) is/are correct.
- Marking all correct option(s) only will yield 2 (two) marks.
- For any combination of answers containing one or more incorrect options, the said answer will be treated as wrong, yielding a zero mark even if one or more of the chosen option(s)is/are correct.
