How KCET Negative Marking Works
Negative marking is designed to eliminate random guessing and measure conceptual accuracy. In KCET, every incorrect bubble deducts marks from your hard-earned positive score. Below is the official marking structure verified against the latest examination bulletin.
| Question Type | Correct Marks | Negative Penalty | Rule / Exception |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physics / Chemistry / Mathematics MCQs | +1.00 | 0 (No Penalty) | Each correct question awards 1 mark. |
| Unattempted / Incorrect Questions | 0.00 | 0.00 | Zero deduction for wrong or unattempted responses. |
