    Yes, the SSC JE (Junior Engineer) exam has a negative marking scheme. For Paper 1, there is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer. In Paper 2, the penalty for an incorrect answer is 1 mark. It's essential to be cautious while answering to minimize the loss of marks due to incorrect responses.

    Yes, there is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each incorrect answer in SSC JE paper 1. The quantum of negative marking in the SSC JE exam is the one fourth. It implies that for each incorrect answer, the Commission will deduct one-fourth of the marks assigned to that question. It also means that four incorrect answer can eat up the marks scored in one correct answer. On the other hand, in Paper 2 one mark is deducted for incorrect answer. I means that if a candidate have scored 3 marks in the exam and have give three incorrect answers then the he/she will secure zero marks in the paper 2.

The  SSC JE cut-off is the minimum score that a candidate must obtain in order to qualify for the next stage of the selection process or for final selection. The cut-off is decided by the commission based on various factors such as the number of candidates appearing for the exam, the difficulty level of the exam, and the number of vacancies available for the post. The cut-off may also vary for different categories and posts.
