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 — UGC NET has no negative marking
- Question dropped after review: full marks awarded to everyone who attempted it
Political Science 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 Political Science
Political Science Paper 2 moves between political theory (both Indian and Western political thought), Indian government and constitutional provisions, comparative politics across countries, and international relations — genuinely distinct sub-areas that rarely appear in one predictable block. It’s easy to lose your row alignment shifting between a constitutional-law question and an IR theory question while counting by hand. This calculator matches every answer by its actual Question ID, so switching between these areas never causes a miscount.
