CPT Examination Pattern

CPT Examination Pattern

Common Proficiency Test is an objective type test with a scheme of negative marking for each wrong

answer. In other words, 0.50 marks would be decided wherever a wrong answer is given in respect of a

question carrying 1 mark.

The questions would be objective in nature accommodating different patterns.

earlier negativing marking was only 0.25 for each worong answer
