How to Calculate Marks Using NBEMS Answer Key?

Candidates should use their actual responses and the official marking scheme while calculating their score. The examination consists of 200 questions carrying 200 marks, with 0.25 marks deducted for each incorrect answer.

The basic calculation can be made using:

Expected Score = Marks obtained for correct answers − Negative marks for incorrect answers

For example, if a candidate has:

• Correct answers = 150
• Incorrect answers = 40
• Unattempted questions = 10

Then, add 1 mark for every correct answer and deduct 0.25 mark for each incorrect answer:
Expected Score = 150 − (40 × 0.25) = 140 marks
