Essential AMU Controller Examination Rules & Marking Policies
1. Negative Marking Calibration (-0.25)
All objective entrance tests (Class 11 Science/Arts, B.Tech, BA LLB, B.Sc, B.Com, BA, MBA) carry a penalty of 0.25 marks for every incorrect response. Unattempted questions incur 0 deduction. Maintain a target accuracy above 80% during mock tests.
2. School Entrance Language Thresholds
Class 6 and Class 9 admission tests have no negative marking, but candidates must score a minimum of 40% (10 out of 25 marks) in Section I (English, Urdu, Hindi) to have Section II evaluated.
3. Indo-Islamic Culture Rank Decider
In Class 11 and B.A. (Hons), Indo-Islamic Culture & Aligarh Movement carries 10 to 25 marks. Because STEM and Social Science cutoffs are clustered, scoring 80%+ in Indo-Islamic is the decisive differentiator for General Select List qualification.
4. OMR Evaluation Standards
AMU tests are conducted offline with black/blue ballpoint pen on carbonless OMR answer sheets. Candidates must accurately shade their Roll Number and Question Booklet Series to prevent automatic rejection.
