    1/3 (one - third) marks will be deducted for indicating incorrect response of each question.
    No deduction from the total score will be made if no response is indicated for an item in the answer sheet.
    Read every question and then give correct answer.
    If your answer is correct then no deduction in marks.

    Good luck!

    Re: Is there any negative marking in Civil Services Exams?

    Yes, there is a introduction of Negative marking system in the civil services. It's applied to the preliminary examination which is of Objective based exam where questions have multiple option. However it's not applied on Main exam which is an subjective based exam. As per the rules, for every wrong answer 1/3 i.e 0.33 marks will be deducted. But however if you does not attend the question, there will be not be a deducation for that question. So, answer only those question in which you are confident about the answer.

    Hi

    As per the examination notification issued a candidate will lose 1/3rd of the marks (0.33) assigned to a question in case it is wrong.
    Same rule will be apply if they give more than one answer. However, if the question is left unanswered, there will be no penalty.

    Thank you...
