Yes premalata,

most of the MNC company's written exam do have negative marking scheme.

it might be 1 3rd of total marks to each question or it might be 1 4th of total marks to each question.

Don't worry about negative scheme while giving exam its only deviates your mind
form respective question.

just concentrate on questions.

good luck.

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

Hello..
We can not say that there will be negative marking or not.Because it depends on the company your going to face.When they drive for placement they will clarify that there is negative marking or not.
But many companies didn't tell and they don't do negative marking.
Rest depends on you.

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

It depends on the company coming to placements. upto my knowledge for example tcs had no negative marking last year when it came for oncampus. And now from 2010 onwards it has negative marking system i.e. for 3 wrong answers 1 right answer will be deleted. But most companies have this negative marking system

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

Negative markings is based on the company.For eg latest infosys placement test don't have negative marking but in Tcs its of CBT(computer Based test ) they have negative marking of 1/3.Before preparing for any placement test read guidelines about how many questions and also how many marks awarded for each question are necessary to know!

ALL THE BEST WISHES!!!

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

most of the placement written examination has negative marking. but it will totally depend on the examination. some company may have their placement examination without negative marking. when you will appear in the examination you should carefully read the instruction to know is there any negative marking or not.

best wishes.

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

It all depends on the company conducting the placement exam, the number of examinees and the type of questions.

The Company: All aspects of the exam are the sole discretion of the company, and you can't argue with the company to change its policies.

The Examinees: More examinees mean more competition, and the easiest way to decide the ranking in such competition is when negative marking is present.

The Questions: Well, MCQs are almost synonymous to negative marking, but this is rarely true for subjective answers including very short & short answer type questions. Essay type questions are rarely given in placement tests

Re: Is there negative marking in placement written test?

hi!

Different companies have their own exam pattern. There is negative marking in aptitude test conducted by some of the MNCs. While in the placement paper of other companies there is no provision of negative marking.

It is better to go through the exam pattern of the company for which you are appearing in order to know whether there is a provision of negative marking in their aptitude test or not.
