How to Calculate Marks Using the CAT 2025 Answer Key?

Check the process and important points to calculate marks using CAT answer key 2025. Firstly, candidates must note that there is a negative marking for MCQs. 

• For each wrong answer, one-third (0.33) of the marks assigned to that question will be deducted as a penalty.

• No negative marking for Type in the Answer (TITA) questions

• If a question is left blank i.e. no answer is given by the candidate, there will be no penalty for that question.

Keep this marking scheme in mind, the candidates can calculate their tentative marks by following the below-mentioned steps.

• For each correct answer, give 3 marks.

• For each incorrect answer, deduct 1 mark from the total.

For example, if you attempted 60 questions and out of these 60 questions 55 questions are correct then your score will be 165-5 = 160.
