    To calculate your IBPS Prelims exam marks:

    1. Count Correct Answers: Adding the marks giving to each correct answer by multiplying the number of correct answers by the marks assigned to each question.


    2. Subtract Negative Marks: Each question carries 1 mark and for every wrong answer, 0.25 mark is subtracted. Take the total negative marks, and then multiply your number of incorrect answers by 0.25 and subtract them.


    3. Skip Unanswered Questions: As per the latest policy, no marks are given or subtracted for the part of the paper that has not been attempted by the student.



    Formula:
    Total Marks = (5 * 1) – (2 * 0.25)

The college banking syllabus can surely provide a strong foundational base for students planning to appear for IBPS and SBI exams but a dedicated bank exam prep is extremely important because the college curriculum does not always cover banking awareness and computer aptitude in depth as is required to crack banking exams. You need to have an extremely strong quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and command over English to excel in the IBPS and SBI exams.
