How to Calculate Gate Score using the Answer Keys
- MCQs carrying 1 mark each, 1/3 marks would be deducted as a penalty for marking the wrong answer
- For questions carrying 2 marks, 2/3 marks would be deducted for marking an incorrect answer
- Count the Marks gained in the correct answer deduct the marks lost in incorrect answers due to negative marking
- GATE Marks = Marks obtained for MCQs + Marks obtained for NAT questions
- NAT Marks = Total marks (1 mark for each question) + Total marks (2 marks for each question)
- MCQ Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
- Total marks (1 marks) = 1 x (number of correct answers) – 1/3 x (number of wrong answers
- Total marks (2 marks) = 2 x (number of correct answers )– 2/3 x( number of wrong answers)
