There is no negative marking, which allows candidates to attempt all questions without fear of losing marks. Paper 2 is a mandatory qualifying test of the Punjabi language at the matriculation level. Candidates must score at least 50% (25 marks out of 50) in Paper 2 to have their Paper 1 evaluated. Time management is crucial, as candidates have 120 minutes for Paper 1 and 60 minutes for Paper 2.
