Main features:
- Bilingual Test: Every section (except English Language) in the paper will be available in Hindi as well.
- Negative marking: Each wrong answer deducts 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question from your total. In this case, since each question is worth 1 mark, you lose ¼ marks per wrong answer.
- Cut-Offs: Each section has an individual cut-off. Besides this, there is a minimum overall score decided by the IBPS after the results are tallied, that you need to cross to move to the next round. Qualifying the Prelims in this way gets you to the Main Exam. And securing the Mains cut-off qualifies you for the Interview round.
- Normalization: The scores will be normalized to equate the difficulty level of the papers in different slots.
