    there is negative marking in civil services exam in both the papers. This procedure is being followed till 2012 exam. It will most probably be followed in 2013 exam also. Because without this kind of negative marking there is a possibility of candidates who attempt the questions without knowing properly and by fluke they can clear. To prevent such ill-prepared candidates this system is followed . UPSC wants candidates who are well prepared and can attend the exam confidently .The details will be issued in the notification form.
    Scheme of marking:
    Paper 1:
    General studies
    For every correct answer, 2 marks awarded.
    For every wrong answer, 2/3 marks will be deducted. THat is one third of mark of a correct answer will be deducted.
    simply, for every 3 wrong answers, 2 marks will be deducted.
    Paper 2:
    CSAT
    for every correct answer 2.5 marks awarded
    For every wrong answer,2.5/3 marks will be deducted.
    Simply, for every 3 wrong answers, 2.5 marks will be deucted
