Does the HP PGT exam incorporate negative marking for incorrect answers?

Greetings and regards from Bansal Academy! Thank you for your question regarding the presence of negative marking for incorrect answers in the HP PGT (Post Graduate Teacher) exam. We appreciate your interest in our coaching services, and our team is here to provide you with relevant information.

Negative Marking in HP PGT Exam:

As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, the presence or absence of negative marking in the HP PGT exam may vary based on the specific instructions provided in the official notification for each exam cycle. Here are key points to consider:

1. Subject to Exam Notification:

   • The decision to include negative marking is subject to the notification released by the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) for each HP PGT exam cycle.

2. Variability Across Subjects:

   • Different subjects within the HP PGT exam may have varying policies on negative marking. It's essential for candidates to review the official notification pertaining to their chosen subject for accurate information.

3. Typical Practice:

   • Many teacher recruitment exams incorporate negative marking as a practice to discourage random guessing. However, the extent of negative marking (deduction per incorrect answer) may differ.

Guidance from Bansal Academy: At Bansal Academy, our HP PGT coaching materials and guidance are designed to align with the latest information provided in the official notifications. If negative marking is applicable, our coaching program includes strategies to help candidates navigate the exam effectively.
