How to Calculate Score Using IIT JAM 2026 Answer Key

IIT JAM has three sections:
Section A (MCQs): 10 × 1 mark + 20 × 2 marks. Negative marking: -1/3 (1-mark wrong), -2/3 (2-mark wrong).
Section B (MSQs): No negative or partial marking.
Section C (NAT): No negative marking.
Steps to calculate:
Count correct answers per mark category.
Add marks: (Correct 1-mark × 1) + (Correct 2-mark × 2) + MSQ/NAT marks.
Subtract negatives only from Section A wrong answers.
Total = Raw score (out of 100).
Example: 18 correct 1-mark MCQs (18) – 2 wrong (-4/3) + 15 correct 2-mark MCQs (30) – 1 wrong (-2/3) + full MSQ/NAT = approximate score after applying negatives.
