Exam Score Calculator 2026

JEE Main uses a +4/−1 marking scheme over 75 questions (300 marks). Your score = (correct × 4) − (wrong × 1). For example, 50 correct and 15 wrong gives 200 − 15 = 185/300. Select the JEE Main preset in the calculator above, enter your counts, and click Calculate.

NEET UG deducts 1 mark for every wrong answer. With 180 questions and +4 per correct answer, the maximum score is 720. A student with 140 correct and 20 wrong would score (140 × 4) − (20 × 1) = 540/720. Unattempted questions carry no marks and no penalty.

UPSC CSE Prelims GS Paper 1 has 100 questions for 200 marks. Each correct answer awards +2, and each wrong answer deducts 2/3 (≈0.667). If you attempt 90 questions with 75 correct and 15 wrong: (75 × 2) − (15 × 0.667) = 150 − 10 = 140/200. CSAT (Paper 2) is qualifying only — you need 33% (66.67/200) to proceed.

SSC CGL Tier 1 has 100 MCQs for 200 marks. Each correct answer gives +2 marks and each wrong answer deducts 0.5 marks. Four sections of 25 questions each: General Intelligence, General Awareness, Quantitative Aptitude, and English. Normalised scores are used across shifts for final merit.

RRB NTPC CBT 1 and CBT 2 both use a +1/−1/3 scheme. So each wrong answer deducts 0.333 marks. Over 100 questions (CBT 1), 70 correct and 20 wrong would give 70 − 6.67 = 63.33/100. The same 1/3 negative applies to RRB Group D and ALP/Technician exams.

No. TNPSC — across Group 1, Group 2, Group 2A, Group 4, and VAO exams — does not apply negative marking. Each correct answer awards +1.5 marks over 200 questions for a total of 300 marks. This makes TNPSC exams more forgiving of guessing than central government exams like SSC or UPSC.

Toggle 'Section-wise Mode' on. The calculator automatically seeds Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics sections for JEE (or Physics, Chemistry, Botany, Zoology for NEET). Enter correct and wrong counts per section. The tool calculates each section's score and accuracy, then sums to a grand total.

Accuracy = (correct answers ÷ attempted questions) × 100. It tells you the quality of your attempts independent of how many questions you skipped. A high accuracy with low attempt count means you are being overly conservative; a low accuracy means you are guessing too much. For exams with 1/3 negative marking, accuracy above 75% is needed to benefit from attempting a question.

Exams using 1/3 negative marking (i.e., 1 mark deducted for every 3 wrong MCQs) include: RRB NTPC CBT 1 & 2, RRB Group D, CDS (all papers), and GATE MCQs (1/3 for 1-mark, 2/3 for 2-mark questions). UPSC CSE Prelims deducts 1/3 of the marks for each question (2/3 per wrong on 2-mark questions).

No. The performance bands and cutoff notes are based on recent historical data from official UPSC, SSC, NTA, and RRB notifications. They are clearly labelled as estimates and are not official predictions. Actual cutoffs depend on the total number of candidates, difficulty level, and normalisation factors for that specific exam cycle.
