RRB NTPC CBT 2 Marking Scheme

The RRB NTPC CBT 2 exam is comprised of 120 marks; please refer to the official notification for the specific marking scheme and subject-wise breakdown.

• +1 mark for every correct answer
• −1/3 mark for every incorrect answer
• 0 marks for unattempted questions
• Marks are normalised across shifts/sessions to adjust for varying difficulty levels

Steps to Calculate Marks Using the RRB NTPC 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, subtract the total marks for correct answers from the total marks for incorrect answers. This will give a probable score.

To calculate your estimated raw score based on your responses, please apply the following formula:

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

Score Calculation Example:
If you attempted 100 questions, with 85 correct and 15 incorrect:
Calculation: (85 × 1) − (15 × 0.33) = 85 − 4.95 = 80.05 marks.

• Positive Marks: 85
• Negative Marks: 15 X 0.33 = 4.95
• Raw Score: 85 – 4.95 = 80.05
