Negative Marking in WBCS 2023 Prelims Exam
The candidates should note that the West Bengal Public Service Commission mentioned that there will be negative marking in the WBCS 2023 Prelims exam but the quantum of the negative marking will be mentioned on the WBCS 2023 question paper itself. As per the previous year's paper, we can assume that the negative marking for each incorrect answer will be ⅓ of the marks assigned to the correct answer.
How to Calculate Marks Through WBCS 2023 Answer Key
The candidates can see below the formula to calculate the marks in the WBCS 2023 Prelims exam:
WBCS 2023 Marks = (Number of Correct answers X 1) - (number of incorrect answers X1/3)
It implies that each three incorrect answers will eat up the marks scored by one correct answer and the resultant marks of such four questions will be zero.
