How to Calculate Scores using GATE 2022 Mathematics (MA) Answer Key?

Candidates can use GATE 2022 Mathematics (MA) Answer Key to calculate their scores and predict a list of college that might them for admissions using Collegedunia’s exclusive GATE College Predictor 2022.

  • Candidates need to calculate the total correct answers and allocate marks based on the correct options, and after that calculate the total marks.
  • Candidates are supposed to tally total negative marks for all the incorrect options attempts. Note down that only MCQs will have negative marking, no marks will be deducted for NAT questions).
  • The calculation will be:
    • MCQ Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
      • Total marks (1 mark) = 1 x total correct attempts – 1/3 x total wrong attempts
      • Total marks (2 marks) = 2 x number of correct attempts – 2/3 x number of wrong attempts
    • NAT Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
    • MSQ Marks: Total marks (1 mark) + Total marks (2 marks)
    • Total marks = Total marks secured for correct response minus negative marks for incorrect answers.
