Coaching institutes for MBA entrance exams train them to spot formula- based problems and answer them correctly, so as to obtain the required overall cut-off percentile. Thus students, in general, shy away from application-based problems and even those with entrepreneurial mind-set target formula-based problems.
Half of a mark is deducted for every wrong answer.
