Candidates can calculate the total marks they will likely get in the exam via the answer key. As the answer key for NEET PG 2021 contains the correct responses of the questions asked in the exam, candidates can easily predict the score with the marking scheme. 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
