How to Check Result

How to Use the Final Answer Key to Calculate Your Marks

Follow this structured method to compute your scores with precision:

  1. Download Your Response Sheet: Log in to the official NTA portal and save your recorded response sheet.
  2. Compare Question IDs: Match the Question IDs from your sheet with the compiled final table above.
  3. Apply the Marking Scheme:
    • Correct Answer: Award yourself +4 marks.
    • Incorrect Answer: Deduct -1 mark (for MCQs).
    • Numerical Questions: No negative marks apply to numerical-value questions.
    • Dropped Questions: If you attempted a dropped question (or as per revised instructions), calculate the allotted grace marks.

Pro-Tip & Avoidable Mistakes: Ensure you are matching the correct section tables. Students often make mistakes by checking the "Outside India" table instead of "Indian Centers," which will lead to incorrect calculations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I challenge this final answer key?

No. The NTA final answer key is definitive and cannot be challenged under any circumstances. Results are prepared solely based on this final document.
