Q:   Does the SSC JE follows negative marking scheme?

A:

Yes, the SSC JE (Junior Engineer) exam does follow a negative marking scheme. Here are some key details:

  • The SSC JE exam is conducted for recruitment to various Junior Engineer posts in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Quantity Surveying & Contracts disciplines
  • It is a computer-based exam consisting of objective type multiple choice questions
  • For every wrong answer, there is a negative marking of 1/4th of the marks allotted to that question
  • So for a question carrying 4 marks, 1 mark will be deducted for an incorrect answer
  • There is no negative marking for unanswered questions. Only questions that are attempted and answered incorrectly attract negative marking
  • The purpose of negative marking is to discourage random guessing. Candidates have to choose answers carefully after assessing their level of surety
  • It encourages high-quality preparation so candidates can attempt questions accurately rather than just guessing to complete the paper within time

So in summary, yes the SSC JE exam follows the standard negative marking scheme of 1/3rd deduction for wrong answers as mentioned above to test candidates' competency. Proper preparation is essential to minimize negative marks.
