How to Calculate Scores Based on the Marking Scheme?
In the exam there are a total of 120 questions for each paper such as in MBA or MCA. The marking scheme is as follows:
| Answer Type | Marks |
| Correct Answer | +4 |
| Wrong Answer | -1 |
| Unattempted | 0 |
Match this against your response sheet.
Example: If there are 80 correct answers and 20 incorrect ones, the score = (80 x 4) – (20 x 1) = 320 – 20 = 300. This provides an expected score, which helps in predicting the cutoff.
