Candidates can calculate GATE 2026 answer key scores with the help of the below-mentioned steps:
First, calculate all the correct answers, allocate them, and then calculate the overall score. Second, tally the negative marks for all incorrect answers (with only MCQs having -ve marking and not the NAT questions). The calculation is as follows:
MCQs: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
Total marks (1 mark) = 1 x no. of correct attempts – 1/3 x no. of incorrect attempts
Total marks (2 marks) = 2 x the no. of correct attempts – 2/3 x the no. of incorrect attempts
NAT: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
Formula:
Total marks = Total marks secured for correct attempts – Negative marks for wrong attempts
