NTA further stated that candidates will not be awarded any marks for the dropped questions. In 2022, the NTA released a statement in which the agency mentioned that if none of the options was found correct or a question is found to be wrong or a question is dropped then per cent equivalence is to be established on the remaining questions whether attempted or not attempted.
However, this is only if the question is in Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) format. If the question would have been a numerical value question, then in that case “four marks (+4) will be awarded to all those who have attempted the question.
