    Yes, there are negative marks on the AFCAT exam. A minimum of 140 to 160 out of 300 questions should be answered correctly to be eligible for the AFCAT exam. View the AFCAT exam's marking structure here: Positive Marks: You will score three marks if you offer three accurate answers. It causes you to gravitate towards confidently asked inquiries. Negative Marks: You lose one mark from your final score for each incorrect response.

    Yes, there is a negative marking in AFCAT exam. For each wrong answer, one mark is deducted. For example, if a candidate attempts 20 questions from the Quant section and gets 18 questions correct but gets two questions incorrect. Then the candidate's score for this section will be calculated based on the formula 18x3-2, I. e. , 52. However, no marks are deducted for unanswered questions. Therefore, candidates must choose questions wisely basically the ones which they can answer correctly. Candidates should aim towards solving all the questions since there is a negative marking.
