The CMAT marking scheme awards 4 marks for each correct answer and deducts 1 mark for each incorrect answer, while unattempted questions get zero. If a question is dropped due to a technical error, all candidates get full marks for it. If the answer key changes, only those who answered correctly as per the revised key get marks.

Yes, CMAT has negative marking. For each incorrect answer, 1 mark is deducted from the total score, while each correct answer earns 4 marks. Unanswered questions get no marks, so there is no penalty for leaving out a question you are unsure of.
