NEET UG 2026 Marking Scheme
According to the NTA marking scheme:
| Response | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +4 |
| Incorrect Answer | -1 |
| Unattempted | 0 |
| Multiple Responses | -1 (as per applicable rules) |
The standard calculation formula is based on awarding 4 marks for every correct answer, deducting 1 mark for every incorrect answer, and giving 0 marks for unanswered questions.
NEET Score Formula
Use the following formula:
NEET Score = (Correct Answers × 4) − (Incorrect Answers × 1)
Example:
Correct Answers = 155
Wrong Answers = 20
Unattempted = 5
Score:
(155 × 4) − (20 × 1)
620 − 20
Final Score = 600 Marks
