Marking Scheme & Score Calculator

• Negative Marking: हर गलत उत्तर पर 1/3rd मार्क्स की कटौती।

• Per-Question Marks: English (120Q/100) ≈ 0.83 | GK (120Q/100) ≈ 0.83 | Maths (100Q/100) = 1.00

Score Formula (IMA/INA/AFA)

• English = (Correct × 0.83) − (Wrong × 0.83/3)

• GK = (Correct × 0.83) − (Wrong × 0.83/3)

• Maths = (Correct × 1.00) − (Wrong × 1.00/3)

OTA Candidates
कुल स्कोर = English + GK (Maths OTA में लागू नहीं होता)

Worked Example
अगर English में 80 सही और 20 गलत हैं, तो:
(80 × 0.83) − (20 × 0.83/3) ≈ 66.4 − 5.53 = 60.87
