Guys, can you provide me the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) Exam Negative Marking Details????????

[Quick Sam]

Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) Negative Marking Details are as given below:

For 1-mark multiple-choice questions: deduction of 1/3 marks for a wrong answer
For 2-marks multiple-choice questions: 2/3 marks will be deducted for a wrong answer.
For Numerical answer type questions: No Negative Marking
GA section has 5 questions of 1 mark each: 5 marks

I am B.Tech Mechanical student. I am going to write the GATE exam for the first time. Will you please tell me about the Negative marking details for GATE exam?

[Quick Sam]

As per your request, I am going to tell you about the marking system of graduate aptitude test in engineering (GATE).

Question 1 to 25: One mark each ( Negative marking 1/3rd )
Question 26 to 55: Two mark each ( Negative marking 2/3rd )
Question 56 to 65: General Aptitude ( total 15 marks ) : ( Negative marking 1/3rd for One marks & 2/3rd for Two mark )
Question 56 to 60: One mark each Question 61 to 65 : Two mark each

GATE exam pattern: The questions in GATE are two types these are followings:

1. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) :
Question carries 1 to 2 marks questions,
These are objective type questions.

2. Numerical Answer Questions:
Question carries 1 to 2 marks questions,
The answer for these questions is a real number which has to be entered by the applicant using the virtual keypad.

General Aptitude 15% Marks
Engineering Maths 15% Marks
Subject of Paper 70% Marks
