How to calculate CDS 1 2022 marks from the answer key:-
As you know, 120 questions are asked from the Mathematics subject in the Combined Defence Services 1 2022 exam.
| CDS Marking Scheme | ||||
| Subject | Total Question | Marks | Per Question Marks | Negative Mark per Question |
| Maths | 100 | 100 | +1 | -0.33 |
| GK | 100 | 100 | +1 | -0.33 |
| English | 100 | 100 | +1 | -0.33 |
- Each question carries 1 mark and one-third of the marks will be deducted if any question is attempted wrong by the candidate.
- If you are estimating the marks in Mathematics/GK/English, then for each correct answer you have to add 1 mark and for every wrong answer you have done, you will have to deduct 0.33 marks.
- Like if you have attempted 90 questions in the question paper and out of these 60 questions are correct then you are given 60×1 = 60 marks for correct answers. 30×0.33 = 10 (Approx.) marks are deducted for 30 wrong questions attempted by you.
- Thus for 90 questions attempted by you, you will get a total of 60-10 = 50 marks.
