The REET exam is a state-level exam being conducted to assess the eligibility of the aspirants to be appointed as teachers in the Government Schools of Rajasthan.

Thus, this article has been crafted to eliminate any doubts in the aspirants’ minds regarding negative marking criteria.

Is there a negative marking in REET 2025?

Formerly, BSER conducting the REET 2025 exams have never incorporated the negative markings. But still, the candidates are getting doubts over the implementation of a negative marking system. So, is BSER actually implementing the negative marking schemes in the REET 2025 exams? The answer is Yes!! However, there is a condition for this marking schema being used.

The BSER has introduced a change in the REET exam pattern, in which candidates will now have 5 options to select from the Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), and, if a candidate fails to select any of the options, leaving the question unanswered, then there will be a deduction of 1/3 mark form the total marks.
