Enter the total number of questions in the exam, how many you got correct, and how many you got wrong.

The calculator instantly shows your marks gained, marks deducted, net score and percentage.
Negative marking is a scoring rule used in many competitive exams where marks are deducted for wrong answers, to discourage random guessing. For example, if an exam deducts ¼ mark for every wrong answer, then 4 wrong answers cancel out 1 full mark gained from a correct answer.
| Exam | Correct | Wrong | Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEET | +4 | −1 | ¼ |
| JEE Main | +4 | −1 | ¼ |
| CAT | +3 | −1 | ⅓ |
| SSC CGL | +2 | −0.5 | ¼ |
| Bank PO/Clerk | +1 | −0.25 | ¼ |
| UPSC Prelims | +2 | −0.66 | ⅓ |
Always confirm the exact negative marking rule from your exam's official notification — rules vary by year and exam body.
Marks Gained = Correct Answers × Marks per Correct
Marks Deducted = Wrong Answers × (Marks per Correct × Negative Ratio)
Net Score = Marks Gained − Marks Deducted
