The CAT question paper is divided into two categories: multiple choice questions (MCQs) and non-multiple choice questions (Non-MCQs). In CAT 2022, each correct answer receives +3 marks for all questions, whereas MCQs receive a -1 mark penalty for each incorrect response. Negative marking is not applied to Non-MCQs (also known as TITA Questions). Furthermore, there is no penalty for any questions that are not attempted, whether MCQ or Non-MCQ.
