UGC NET: Marking Scheme
- For every correct answer, candidates will receive 2 marks.
- There will be no negative marking for any incorrect answers.
- For any un-attempted or unanswered questions, no marks will be given.
- If a question is found to be incorrect or ambiguous or has multiple correct answers, only the candidates who attempted the question and chose any one of the correct answers will receive credits.
- If a question is found to be incorrect and the question gets dropped, due to technical or human error, then two marks will be awarded to the candidates who attempted the question. As there is no negative marking, candidates will still have to choose one of the most appropriate options as the correct answer.
