negative marking scheme?

CEED exam is conducted in two papers, Part A and part B. candidates who have qualified in Part A are only eligible for Part B.

Part A:-
In Part A, is conducted three sections
Section I :- Questions 1-5 (0.6 Negative marking for each wrong answer)
Section II :- Questions 6-15 (0.6 Negative marking for each wrong answer)
Section III:- Questions 16-50 (0.6 Negative marking for each wrong answer)

Part B:-
In Part B, there is no negative marking, because, it is a manual exam where candidates are assessed on their design and hand drawing capabilities.

CEED stands for Common Entrance Examination for Design. It is an entrance examination which is conducted by IIT Bombay for admission to Master of Design (M.Des.) programmes at IISc Bangalore, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Guwahati, IIT Hyderabad and IIT Kanpur, and PhD programmes in Design at some Institutes.
