  2. Negative Marking: For every wrong answer to a multiple-choice question, 0.25 (1/4) marks will be deducted. This serves as a form of negative marking.
  3. Multiple Answers: If a candidate selects two or more options (answers) for a single multiple-choice question, they will lose one mark (negative marking).
  4. Uncertain Answers: If you’re unsure about an answer, it’s advisable not to answer the question to avoid negative marking.

Method of Filling up OMR

The OMR answer sheet must be filled out meticulously. Here are the guidelines:

  1. Ink and Pen: Use a black ink ballpoint pen exclusively. No other pen or pencil should be used, and the use of any type of remover is not allowed. Violating this instruction will result in the cancellation of the candidate’s candidature.
  2. Darken Circles Completely: Ensure that the circle in the answer sheet is completely darkened with a black ink ballpoint pen.
  3. Single Darkening: If a circle is darkened for an answer, do not darken any other circle for the same question.
  4. Incomplete Darkening: Incomplete or partial darkening of circles will result in the answer being marked as incorrect. Always darken the circle completely.
  5. Leaving Questions Blank: If you choose not to answer a question, leave the respective circle blank and proceed to other questions.
  6. Preservation: Take care not to fold or crease the answer sheet, as this may affect the assessment process.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can ensure that your answers are accurately recorded and that you maximize your chances of success in GUJCET 2024.
