As per NEET PG 2021 marking scheme, candidates are supposed to get four marks for every right answer and a deduction of one mark for every wrong answer. Understand this in the below-mentioned pointers.
-
The candidate has to count the total number of correct/incorrect/unattempted responses as per NEET PG answer key 2021
-
For example, the response of the total 20 questions is wrong of any particular candidate (let’s assume he/she attempted 180 questions only out of the total 200)
-
It infers that he/she gets 160 right answers
-
Calculate the total marks for correct response with 4 marks per correct answer. It comes to 640.
-
Now calculate the total score of wrong responses with one mark per incorrect answer. It becomes 20 in this particular example.
-
So, the total effective marks he/she will get, i. e 640-20= 620
