GATE Marking Scheme:
- Correct Answer: +1 (for 1-mark questions), +2 (for 2-mark questions)
- Incorrect Answer: -1/3 (for 1-mark MCQs), -2/3 (for 2-mark MCQs)
- No Negative Marking: For MSQs and NATs
Formula for Score Calculation:
Estimated Score=(Correct Answers×MarksperQuestion)−(Incorrect Answers×NegativeMarks)\text{Estimated Score} = (\text{Correct Answers} \times Marks per Question) – (\text{Incorrect Answers} \times Negative Marks)
Example Calculation: If you attempted 50 questions:
- 40 correct (30 x 1 mark, 10 x 2 marks) → (30×1) + (10×2) = 50 marks
- 10 incorrect (5 x 1 mark, 5 x 2 marks) → (5×1/3) + (5×2/3) = -5 marks
- Estimated Score: 50 – 5 = 45 marks
