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
Philosophy 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 Philosophy
Philosophy Paper 2 alternates between Indian schools (Vedanta, Nyaya, Samkhya, Buddhist and Jain philosophy) and Western philosophy (from ancient Greek thought through contemporary analytic and continental traditions), plus logic and epistemology questions mixed throughout. It’s easy to lose your row alignment moving between a Nyaya logic question and a Kantian epistemology question while counting by hand. This calculator matches every answer by its actual Question ID, so switching between traditions never causes a miscount.
