UPSC 2016 CSAT Preliminary Exam Marking Scheme

The total score of the UPSC 2016 PRELIMINARY is ‘200’ each Paper1 and Paper2. Each question carries ‘1’ marks. Out of which, a correct answer will lead you to ‘+1’ whereas a wrong answer will lead you to ‘-1/3’ as it has negative marking.

Moreover, all the questions in the exam are single-answer, so if someone has marked multiple-answer for a single question, it will be considered incorrect followed by the negative marking.

If a candidate has not attempted a particular question i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, in that case, there will be no penalty for that question. It will be simply ‘0’ marks for that question.

The minimum marks required for qualifying the Paper 2 is ‘33%’ of the total marks.
