Negative Marks in Prelims from 2013

Prelims Hereafter will have Negative Marking, The state cabinet's decision will come to effect from coming preliminary Exam itself. 

From The Hindu Dated 'BANGALORE, February 1, 2013'

The Cabinet approved changes in the written examination for the Gazetted Probationers (leading to KAS) conducted by the Karnataka Public Service Commission and henceforth it will be on the same lines as that conducted by the Union Public Service Commission wherein in the preliminary examinations wrong answers will attract negative marks.

It Means Some percentage of Marks will be deducted for every wrong answer (How much? will be known soon). Earlier You could answer all the questions, with the hope that some answers might come out correct. Now should be careful.

Hence Please prepare Carefully and also Better Practice at home, seriousness in avoiding to answer Questions by guessing methodology. Out of Enthusiasm we tend to attend the Questions even if not sure of the exact answer. At times It will be costlier t do so...

It looks very simple but If we neglect we may have to pay heavily. You will get to know live examples from UPSC champs who have paid for Negative Marking.
