UGC NET Home Science Marks Calculator: Skip the Manual Matching
Home Science (subject code 12) Paper 2 spans genuinely distinct specializations — food and nutrition, human development, family resource management, textiles, and extension education — which makes manual answer-matching slower than it needs to be. Upload your response sheet here instead.

How UGC NET Marks Are Calculated
Total Marks = (Correct in Paper 1 × 2) + (Correct in Paper 2 × 2)
- Correct: +2 marks
- Wrong: 0 marks — no negative marking
- Dropped question: full marks to every candidate who attempted it
Paper 2 typically has 100 questions worth 200 marks, added to Paper 1’s 100 marks, for 300 total.
Why Manual Counting Trips People Up Here
Because Home Science covers five fairly independent specializations, questions from each area don’t always run in one predictable block on the response sheet — it’s easy to lose your place shifting from a nutrition question to a textiles question while counting by hand. This calculator avoids that entirely by matching each response to its actual Question ID.
