Count your correct and incorrect answers against the answer key. This applies the official NEET UG marking — +4 for each correct, −1 for each incorrect, 0 for unattempted — to give your score out of 720.
Cut-offs and rank depend on the year and category — this tool gives your raw score, not a rank. How the marking and attempt strategy work: NEET exam pattern & marking.
Score = (4 × correct) − (1 × incorrect), out of 720. NEET UG has 180 scored questions — Physics, Chemistry and Biology — each worth 4 marks. Unattempted questions score 0, with no penalty.
You answer 142 correctly, 23 incorrectly and leave 15 blank: (142 × 4) − (23 × 1) = 568 − 23 = 545 / 720. The 15 unattempted questions neither add nor subtract marks.
No. Only incorrect answers cost you marks (−1 each). A blank answer scores 0, so a wild guess is worse than a blank unless you can eliminate options.
No. Rank depends on how everyone else scored that year, plus tie-break rules and category. The same score can map to very different ranks across years.
When a question is withdrawn after the challenge window, NTA states its treatment (commonly credit to affected candidates) in that year’s official answer-key notice — check the current bulletin on the NTA site.
The +4/−1 scheme has been stable, but the paper pattern can change between cycles — always confirm against the current NEET (UG) Information Bulletin before exam day.
Marking rules per the official NTA NEET (UG) portal: neet.nta.nic.in(see the current year's Information Bulletin). Last reviewed: 17 July 2026.
