We know the most aspirants have the brief information on the RRB NTPC Stage-I and II Marking Scheme. According to our experience, the implementation of knowledge works more than the only information. We will focus on the below query with a deep explanation of the NTPC Marking Process for both stages.
How does the RRB NTPC Marking Scheme affect the score that alters the results?
The Railway Recruitment Board organizes the NTPC Exam, and it sets the marking procedure for both computer-based tests - stage-I and stage-II. RRB specifies the detailed NTPC Marking Process Information affixed with the RRB NTPC Exam Pattern in the application form notification on its official site. This notification is downloadable in a PDF file and can be downloaded from the official site.
We are going to provide the RRB NTPC Marking Information based on the official notification.
Highlighted Points:
The RRB NTPC Stage-I and II CBT's marking scheme is the same on the answering correct response, incorrect response, or no response. The number of questions causes the difference. Due to 20 more questions in stage-II from stage-I raises the 20 more marks in stage-II. Thus total marks change in stage-I to stage-II from 100 Marks to 120 Marks.
Let's understand the RRB NTPC Explicit Mark Distribution and Weightage for Stage-I and II test separately.
The candidates get 1 Mark for each correct answer in the RRB NTPC Stage-I Test and there is 1/3 Mark's negative marking for each incorrect answer.

Let's consider the RRB NTPC stage-I Cutoff will be 84 Marks. This indicates that it is necessary to answer 84 questions with accuracy to acquire pass marks because there is no chance to pass this test by leaving or wrong answering any single question in the 84 questions.
We should acquire more marks from the remaining 16 questions to gain over cutoff to handle merit fluctuation.
Yeah! We have no chance to answer based on a guess or no accuracy because negative marking may calculate our score below the stage-I cutoff.
Let's look at the below table to understand the stage-I:

Similarly, in RRB NTPC stage-II, let's consider the cutoff will be 73-88 Marks out of 120 Marks. Here the level of difficulty slightly increases. There seems no flexibility to do preparation less consciously, so we should not try to mark guess-based answers in the stage-II test.
Let's look at the below table to understand the stage-II:
RRB NTPC Stage-II Test |
120 Questions |
(73-88 Questions Required)×(1 Mark)= 73-88 Marks |
(73-88)/120 Marks Required |
We hope you have understood how negative marking might prevent selection.
Let's define these points on the below tips and tricks.
