UGC NET Archaeology Marks Calculator: No More Manual Tallying
Archaeology (subject code 67) papers pack in everything from prehistoric cultures to epigraphy to museology, and cross-referencing all of that against an answer key by hand is where most manual scoring attempts fall apart. Upload your response sheet instead, and get your score in seconds.

The Formula Behind Your Score
Total Marks = (Correct in Paper 1 × 2) + (Correct in Paper 2 × 2)
- Correct: +2 marks
- Wrong: 0 marks — no negative marking in UGC NET
- Dropped question: full marks to everyone who attempted it
Archaeology’s Paper 2 typically has 100 questions for 200 marks, plus Paper 1’s 100 marks, for 300 total.
Why This Paper Is Especially Easy to Miscount by Hand
Archaeology spans prehistoric and protohistoric archaeology, epigraphy and numismatics, art and architecture, museology, and excavation methodology — distinct sub-areas that don’t always appear in a predictable block order on the response sheet. Losing your place while switching topics is the single most common manual-counting error for this subject. Matching by actual Question ID, as this calculator does, avoids that entirely.
