UGC NET Geography Marks Calculator: Skip the Manual Cross-Checking
Geography (subject code 80) draws a large candidate pool every cycle, and its Paper 2 spans physical geography, human geography, regional planning, and remote sensing — enough range that manually matching 100 questions against the answer key is genuinely time-consuming to get right. Upload your response sheet below instead.

How UGC NET Marks Are Calculated
Total Marks = (Correct in Paper 1 × 2) + (Correct in Paper 2 × 2)
- Correct answer: +2 marks
- Wrong answer: 0 marks — no negative marking
- Question dropped after review: full marks awarded to everyone who attempted it
Geography Paper 2 typically runs 100 questions worth 200 marks, added to Paper 1’s 100 marks, for 300 total.
Where Manual Counting Goes Wrong in Geography
Geography Paper 2 alternates between physical geography (geomorphology, climatology), human and economic geography, and increasingly, GIS and remote sensing-based questions — three genuinely different styles of question that don’t always appear in a predictable order. Losing your row alignment while switching between them is the most common manual-counting mistake for this subject. This calculator matches by actual Question ID, so that switch never causes an error.
