Negative marking is strictly enforced in all RRB Computer Based Tests (CBTs) to penalize incorrect responses and maintain the integrity of the merit list.

Negative Marking Rule:
  • Deduction: One-third (1/3rd) of the marks allotted for a question is deducted for every incorrect answer marked by the candidate.
  • Unanswered Questions: There is no deduction of marks for questions that are left unanswered.
  • Application: This rule is uniformly applied across all mandatory CBT stages for both RRB NTPC (CBT-1 and CBT-2) and RRC Level 1 (Group D) examinations.

Candidates are advised to exercise caution and attempt only those questions where they are reasonably certain of the correct response to maximize their net score.
