Q3. What is the exam pattern and is there any negative marking?

The computer based test had 100 multiple choice questions. Each question carried 2 marks, so the paper was worth 200 marks. The duration was 60 minutes. PwD candidates using a scribe got 80 minutes. The paper was divided into four parts. There is negative marking of 0.50 marks for each wrong answer. So avoid random guessing in the exam hall.
