Are marks deducted for incorrect answers in the Punjab Master Cadre exam?

Greetings from Bansal Academy!

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the marking scheme, including whether marks are deducted for incorrect answers in the Punjab Master Cadre exam, is typically specified in the official notification or guidelines released by the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) or the relevant recruiting authority responsible for conducting the Master Cadre recruitment.

To provide you with the most accurate information, I recommend checking the official notification or guidelines for the specific examination cycle you are interested in. The marking scheme, including any provision for negative marking, is usually outlined in detail in these official documents.

Here are general points to consider:

1. Negative Marking: Some examinations follow a negative marking system where marks are deducted for incorrect answers. This is designed to discourage random guessing and encourage candidates to answer questions they are confident about.

2. No Negative Marking: In some exams, there may be no negative marking, meaning that candidates are not penalized for incorrect answers. In such cases, candidates may choose to attempt all questions without the fear of losing marks for wrong responses.

3. Partial Marking: Some exams may have a partial marking system, where candidates receive partial credit for partially correct answers. This allows for a more nuanced evaluation of candidates' knowledge.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please refer to the official notification or guidelines released by the recruiting authority for the Punjab Master Cadre exam.
