Score Calculation Using JEE Main 2025 Answer Key

Students can estimate their probable score by using the JEE Main 2025 answer key. Given the exam’s well-known pattern, which includes negative marking for incorrect answers and marks awarded for correct responses, the following table outlines the marking scheme for reference:

Response	Marks
Incorrect Answer	One mark deduction
Correct Answer	Four marks are awarded
Marked for Review	No marks
No Response	No marks

Use the following formula to calculate your probable score:

Score = (Number of correct answers x 4) – (Number of incorrect answers)

Note: Remember these scores are just probable scores and not the final scores as NTA under certain circumstances can cancel the questions even when they are correct.

Changes and Dropped Questions in the Final Answer Key

After reviewing all objections submitted during the challenge window, the National Testing Agency (NTA) may update the answer key before declaring it final. These updates can include:

• Corrections to Answers: If valid challenges are raised, NTA may revise the correct option(s) for specific questions.
• Dropped Questions: Occasionally, a question may be found to have errors (such as ambiguity, incorrect framing, or no valid answer). In such cases, NTA officially “drops” the question from evaluation.

What Does It Mean if a Question is Dropped?

When a question is dropped from the final answer key:

• Full marks are awarded to all candidates for that question, regardless of whether they attempted it.
• This ensures fairness, as an invalid or ambiguous question disadvantages no candidate.
• The final score is calculated based on the revised answer key, including these adjustments.
