The duration for the BSc (Hons.) programs, such as BSc (Hons.) in Mathematics and Computer Science, and BSc (Hons.) in Mathematics and Physics, is typically three hours.
It's important to note:
- While the general duration is three hours, always confirm the specifics in the official CMI exam instructions, as variations can occur.
- It is very important to remember that the BSc/MSc Data Science programme has a duration of 3 and a half hours.

Negative Marking in Part B:
- Generally, for the subjective questions in Part B, there is not a traditional negative marking scheme like in the MCQ sections of Part A.
- Instead, partial credit is often given for partially correct solutions. However, incorrect or insufficient reasoning will result in reduced or no marks.
- Essentially, the grading of Part B is based on the quality of the answer provided, not on deducting marks for wrong answers, like in the MCQ section.

CMI Entrance Exam's negative marking scheme primarily applies to the multiple-choice question (MCQ) sections, particularly within Part A of the exam. Here's a breakdown:
- Part A:
- In sections with MCQ format questions, there is negative marking. For each incorrect answer, a fraction of the marks allotted to that question is deducted. Specifically, from some available sources, it is detailed that within part A, 1 mark is deducted for every incorrect MCQ response.
- It is very important to always double check the instructions of any provided CMI exam, because the specifics are subject to change.
