The GUJCET marking scheme includes +1 marks for correct responses and -0.25 marks for incorrect responses. The formula mentioned below can be referred to by the candidates to calculate their expected scores.

Formula:
Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 1) – (Number of Incorrect Answers × 0.25)

For example, if a candidate attempts 100 questions, with 70 correct and 20 wrong:

Score = (70 × 1) – (20 × 0.25)
Score = 70 – 5
Score = 65 marks
