For MCQs, “correct answer” will receive three points, while “unattempted or wrong answer” will receive none.

The following is the scoring method for Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs).

  • Three points will be granted for each right answer.

  • For each wrong response, you will receive a minus one point.

  • Unanswered questions will not be subtracted from your grade.

The marking scheme for CAT 2021 is as follows:

  • Correct Answer (MCQs): +3 points
  • Wrong Answer (MCQs): -1 point
  • Unattempted Question (MCQs): 0 points (no penalty)

For non-MCQs (TITA questions), there is no negative marking:

  • Correct Answer (Non-MCQs): +3 points
  • Wrong Answer (Non-MCQs): 0 points (no penalty)
  • Unattempted Question (Non-MCQs): 0 points (no penalty)

This scoring method ensures that you earn points for correct answers, face a penalty for incorrect answers in MCQs, and do not lose points for leaving questions unanswered.
