How to Calculate Marks Using the RRB NTPC Undergraduate Level Answer Key?

1. For the correct answers, add one mark. If any answer is wrong, then deduct 1/3 marks
2. Add all the marks for correct answers
3. Add all the marks for incorrect answers
4. In the end, deduct the total marks for correct answers from the incorrect answers. This will give a probable score.

Apply the following formula to determine your raw score based on your attempted questions:

Raw Score = (Total Correct Answers) - (Total Incorrect Answers × ⅓) 

Calculation Example:
If you attempted 90 questions with 72 correct and 18 incorrect, your score would be: 72 - (18 × ⅓) = 66 marks.

• Positive Marks: 7
• Negative Marks: 18 X 0.33 = 6
• Raw Score: 72 - 6 = 66
