E. PENALTY FOR WRONG ANSWERS
There will be penalty for wrong answers marked in the Objective Tests. For each
question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate one fourth or 0.25 of
the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty to arrive at corrected
score. If the total of the penalty for a test is in fraction, the marks obtained will be
rounded off to the nearest integer, i.e. if fraction exceeds by 0.50 or more, it will be
rounded off to next higher integer. If for any question a candidate gives more than one
answer, it will be treated as wrong even if one of the given answers happens to be right
and there will be the same penalty of 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question
deducted as penalty. If a question is left blank, i.e. no answer is given by the candidate,
there will be no penalty for that question.
F. STANDARDIZED SCORES
The corrected scores obtained by each of the candidates will further be converted into
standardized scores following Linear Conversion Method.
G. CUTOFF SCORE
Each candidate will have to secure a minimum standardized score in each of the tests to
qualify in the written examination and to be considered for vacancies in the participating

Deviation for General category candidates and Average – ¾ Standard Deviation for
Reserved Category candidates).
H. CWE SCORE CARD
