Calculate Your Probable Score
To estimate your score, apply UPPRPB’s standard marking scheme to your attempted questions:
- Correct answer: +1 mark
- Wrong answer: -0.25 marks (negative marking)
- Unattempted question: 0 marks
Example: If you attempted 100 questions with 75 correct and 15 wrong: Score = (75 × 1) – (15 × 0.25) = 75 – 3.75 = 71.25 marks
Use this calculation to estimate whether your score may fall near or above the expected cutoff for your category.
Should You Challenge This Answer Key?
Raise an objection if:
- The official answer in the key contradicts the text of the question paper itself
- You have a credible reference from a government-issued textbook, NCERT material, or an authoritative publication that proves the listed answer is incorrect
- The question contains a printing error or ambiguous wording that makes two or more options defensible
- Multiple reliable academic sources confirm an alternative answer
Do NOT raise an objection if:
- You are unsure or guessing-objection fees are non-refundable regardless of outcome
- A coaching institute or online study app suggests a different answer without published textbook citation
- You simply disagree but cannot produce a written reference
- You attempt to dispute the marking scheme or question design rather than factual correctness
Practical reminder: Objections are reviewed by subject matter experts; only those supported by credible published references are typically accepted. Before paying the objection fee, verify your claim in an official or standard reference material.
