There will be penalty for wrong answers marked in the Objective Test. For each question for which a wrong answer has been given by the candidate one fourth or 0.25 of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as penalty to arrive at correct score.

Candidates who are successful in the CWE will be issued score-cards. The score will be valid for a period of one year from the date of examination. The successsful candidates can apply to any of the participating banks as and when the banks announce the vacancies. Each bank will have its own eligibility criteria in terms of age , qualification, minimum score required in the CWE and so on. These banks will then carry out their own selection process like Group Discussion and / or Interview for the final selection.

Since the marks scored in the descriptive section are not added to the final score, the students who have the highest chance of success are those who can master the objective type questions. Typically, the candidates will have less than a minute for each question. Wrong answers carry negative marks in the objective tests. The main requirements for candidates are to develop confidence through high-quality preparation, constant practice in various test areas and to develop the ability to give accurate answers under the pressure of time.
