What Is the Negative Marking Scheme in CAT? 2026-2027 Guide
In the CAT exam, Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) carry a negative marking of -1 for every incorrect answer. Conversely, Type-In-The-Answer (TITA) questions do not carry any negative marking. Each correct answer is awarded +3 marks. Strategic selection is essential to maximize your percentile and avoid unnecessary score deductions.
