Calculate Your Probable Score
The SSC GD Constable examination uses the following marking scheme:
| Response Type | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +2 Marks |
| Incorrect Answer | −0.25 Marks |
| Unattempted Question | 0 Marks |
Score Calculation Formula: Total Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 2) − (Number of Wrong Answers × 0.25)
Example: If you attempted 150 questions with 120 correct and 30 wrong: Score = (120 × 2) − (30 × 0.25) = 240 − 7.5 = 232.5 marks
The CBT comprises 160 total marks. Minimum qualifying marks by category are: Unreserved/General 30% (48 marks), OBC/EWS 25% (40 marks), SC/ST/Ex-Servicemen 20% (32 marks).
