How the Score Is Calculated
Total Marks = (Correct in Paper 1 × 2) + (Correct in Paper 2 × 2)
- Correct: +2 marks
- Wrong: 0 marks — UGC NET has no negative marking

Paper 2 typically has 100 questions worth 200 marks, added to Paper 1’s 100 marks, for 300 total.
Where Manual Scoring Breaks Down
Because this paper spans multiple regional specializations in addition to core IR theory, a question on West Asian politics might sit right next to one on Cold War-era Soviet studies, and it’s easy to lose your row alignment shifting between regions while counting by hand. This calculator avoids that entirely by matching each response to its actual Question ID.
