Negative marking & second-timer matrix
A negative marking policy is only shown when it is published. Always re-read the current circular; policies can change between years.

|---|---|---|---|
| BUET & engineering tests | Approved scientific models allowed | −0.25 per wrong answer (where the circular applies negative marking) | Usually first-timer only; follow the current circular |
| DU units | Calculators banned | −0.25 per wrong answer | Usually first-timer only; follow the current circular |
| Medical (MAT) | Calculators banned | −0.25 per wrong answer | −5.0 marks; −7.5 if admitted, per the published policy |

Marks, penalties and eligibility for repeat candidates are set by each authority. If a value is missing from the official circular, ShikkhaPath shows “unavailable” rather than a guess.
