Yes, there is a negative marking in the WBCS preliminary and main exams. In the main exam, the quantum of the negative marking is 10% of the marks assigned to the question. In the prelims exam, the negative marking is one by a third. It means that three incorrect questions can eat up the marks secured in the one correct answer and the result of those four questions will be zero. The negative marking makes the exam difficult. Negative marking was introduced to reduce the cases of guesswork in the exam.
