For every incorrect answer in the TANCET exam, 1/4 mark is deducted from the total score. This negative marking system is meant to discourage random guessing. Candidates need to be cautious while attempting questions they are unsure about, as each wrong answer reduces their overall score. Candidates are advised to attempt only those questions where they are confident about the correct choice. The penalty applies uniformly across all sections and questions, so careful reading and solving is necessary to avoid losing marks.
