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

banks. The cut-off points will be decided based on the average (Average – ¼ Standard

Deviation for General category candidates and Average – ¾ Standard Deviation for

Reserved Category candidates).

H. CWE SCORE CARD
