Accuracy Rule of Thumb for Negative Marking Exams:

In 1/3rd penalty exams (UPSC, UPPCS, BPSC, RAS), attempting questions where you can eliminate 2 out of 4 options has a statistically positive expected value (+0.33 net expected score per 2-option guess). However, purely blind guesses carry a negative expected return (-0.16) and will erode your aggregate score.
