Negative Marking Strategy

Bihar Daroga exam mein negative marking 0.2 marks per wrong answer hai (not 1/3 like SSC/Railway).

Scenario Impact
1 correct answer +2 marks
1 wrong answer -0.2 marks
10 wrong = 1 correct ka nuksaan 10:1 ratio
Blank 0 marks

Matlab: Negative marking bahut kam hai. Agar 2 options eliminate kar sakte ho toh guess karo - risk bahut kam hai!


Preparation Strategy - Paper 2 Focus

Priority Order (Merit Paper ke liye)

Priority Subject Why
1 Math + Reasoning Fixed syllabus, scoring, practice se improve hota hai
2 General Science Class 12 level, NCERT se aata hai
3 Geography Maps + facts - ek baar padho toh yaad rehta hai
4 History Modern India + Bihar history pe focus
5 Civics Constitution ke basic articles + amendments
