GATE 2026 Qualifying Marks
IIT Guwahati released the GATE 2026 final answer key online on March 18, 2026. The final answer key is based on the objection submitted against the provisional key. Candidates cannot challenge the GATE final answer key, since it is the final answer key that is used for the result.
Here are the steps to calculate the GATE result via the final answer key.
Calculate the total number of correct answers, allocate marks accordingly, and then calculate the overall marks.
The candidate has to tally the total negative marks for wrong attempts. Only multiple-choice questions (MCQs) will have negative markings. There will be no negative marking for NAT questions. So the calculation goes:
MCQ Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks).
Total marks (1 mark) = 1 x no. of correct attempts – 1/3 x no. of wrong attempts.
Total marks (2 marks) = 2 x the number of correct attempts – 2/3 x the number of wrong attempts.
NAT Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks).
Formula: Total marks = Total marks secured for correct response – Negative marks for wrong response.
