For each incorrect answer, multiply it by the negative marking.

For Example:
1. For IMA, INA, AFA
English
Questions: 120
Marks per Question: 0.83
Negative Marking: –0.27

2. For OTA (Officers’ Training Academy)
English → 120 Qs (100 marks)
GK → 120 Qs (100 marks)
Total = 200 Marks
Final Score = (Correct Answers × Marks per Question) – (Wrong Answers × Negative Marks)
Example (IMA candidate):
English: 80 correct, 20 wrong → (80×0.83) – (20×0.27) = 66.4 – 5.4 = 61
GK: 60 correct, 30 wrong → (60×0.83) – (30×0.27) = 49.8 – 8.1 = 41.7
Math: 70 correct, 20 wrong → (70×1) – (20×0.33) = 70 – 6.6 = 63.4
Total = 61 + 41.7 + 63.4 = 166.1 / 300
