RRB Technician Marking Scheme 2026

The candidates can calculate their score before the announcement of results by using the marking scheme of the RRB Technician Exam 2026.

• The computer-based test is conducted for 100 marks.
• There is a provision for negative marking for wrong answers; ⅓ mark is deducted.
• Candidates are rewarded +1 for the correct answer.

How to Calculate Marks Using RRB Technician Official Grade 1 & 3 Answer Key?

Step 1- Count your Correct Answers: Compare your responses (from your response sheet) with the official answer key. Count the total number of questions you answered correctly.

Step 2- Count your Wrong Answers: Count the total number of questions where your response does not match the official key.

Step 3- Apply the Formula

Tentative Score = (1 × Correct Answers) − (0.33 × Incorrect Answers)

For example, if a candidate attempts 90 questions and gets 72 correct and 18 wrong:

• Marks for correct answers: 72 × 1 = 72 marks
• Negative marks: 18 × 1/3 = 6 marks
• Final Score = 72 − 6 = 66 marks
