Primary answer
No, there is no negative marking in the NMAT exam. Candidates are encouraged to attempt all 108 questions. Since the exam is computer-adaptive, the difficulty level of the next question is determined by your response to the current one. It is important to note that leaving a question unanswered can negatively impact the adaptive scoring algorithm more than an incorrect guess, so time management is crucial to ensure every question is attempted.
