NEET UG Marking Scheme Breakdown:

Section A: 35 Questions:

Section A contains 35 questions. Each correct answer gives you 4 marks. However, be aware of incorrect answers; they’ll cost you -1 mark. Unanswered questions won’t impact your mark. If more than one option turns out to be correct, only those who marked any of the correct options get four (+4) marks.

Supposing that all options are considered to be correct, every single person who attempts the question gets four (+4) marks.

If none of the options are correct, a question is wrong, or a question is dropped, all candidates get four four marks (+4), no matter whether they attempted the question.

Section B: 15 Questions (choose any 10):

Section B contains 15 questions, although you only have to answer 10 of them. So choose wisely! Correct answers will give you four (+4) marks, incorrect answers will cost you one mark (-1), and unanswered questions are neutral. Again, if more than one option has been found to be correct, only those who marked any of the correct options get the four (+4) marks.

If a question turns out to be wrong or the question is dropped, all individuals who attempted it will be awarded four (+4) marks. The reason could be either a human or technical mistake.

Candidates are asked to perform the calculations using the constants provided (if any) in the questions.
