How to Calculate JEE Main 2026 Raw Score?
You can calculate the JEE Main raw score with the help of the final answer key by applying the official marking scheme.
As per the marking scheme, +4 marks are awarded for every correct answer and -1 mark is deducted for every incorrect answer.
Formula for Raw Score:
Raw Score = (Correct Answers x 4) - (Incorrect Answers x 1)
For example:

Example Value
Total Correct Answers
55
Total Incorrect Answers
10
Marks from Correct Answers
55 x 4 = 220
Negative Marks
10 x 1 = 10
Final Raw Score
220 - 10 = 210
After the raw score is calculated, NTA normalises it to generate the final percentile score, which determines the final rank and eligibility for JEE Advanced and counselling.
