Yes there is Negative marking in the test. There is a differential negative marking scheme.

Negative marking is applicable only if more than 25% of the questions attempted by the test taker are incorrect.

If you do more than 25% questions wrong of the total attempt then for rest of every wrong answer half mark will be deducted.

If you attempt more than 1/4th of total questions wrong then you get negative marking,

If 12 questions are attempted, and 25%(1/4) questions are wrong i.e. 3 questions are wrong, and 9 are correct, then there is no negative marking. Though, if the you answer 8 correct and 4 wrong, negative marks will be for the 4th not for first three.

Negative markings are section wise not for the complete test.
