    Yes, there is a negative marking of 0.50 marks in the SSC CGL tier-I exam. The SSC CGL Tier 2 also has a negative marking. The quantum of negative marking is one-fourth of the marks assigned for the correct answer. The mark assigned for the correct answer is 2 marks and the negative marking is 0.5 marks. No marks will be deducted for unattempted questions. The candidates should avoid the guesswork in the exam because the negative marking rapidly pulls the overall score down in case of incorrect answers.

    Each right response on the test carries two marks. Every incorrect response on the test carries a 0.50 point deduction in scoring. The candidate will lose 0.5 marks for each wrong response. The SSC Combined Graduate Level Examination is administered by the Staff Selection Commission on behalf of the Indian government to hire applicants. One of the hardest exams in India is the SSC CGL, which is passed on the first try for applicants who study hard. Four categories make up the SSC CGL Tier 1 exam pattern: general intellect and reasoning, numeric aptitude, English language and comprehension, and general awareness. There will be 100 quest
