The CUET PG negative marking scheme aims to discourage random guessing and encourage thoughtful consideration of answers. Here's a breakdown of its potential advantages: 

• Reduced Guesswork: By deducting marks for incorrect answers, candidates are less likely to randomly guess, promoting a more accurate assessment of their knowledge. 
• Focus on Accuracy: The scheme incentivizes candidates to focus on answering questions they are confident about, rather than attempting all questions regardless of their understanding.  
• Fairer Competition: Negative marking can create a more level playing field by reducing the impact of lucky guesses and emphasizing genuine understanding of the subject matter.
• Strategic Decision-Making: It encourages candidates to develop strategic test-taking skills, such as identifying and skipping questions they are unsure about.
