Calculation Guide

How the GATE Calculator Works

This tool calculates your expected raw marks from the number of correct and incorrect answers entered for one-mark and two-mark questions.

Unattempted questions do not add or deduct marks. The maximum marks are calculated from all questions entered into the calculator.

Raw Marks Formula Positive marks − negative marks = expected raw marks.
Negative Marking Used One-mark incorrect answer: 1/3 mark deduction.
Two-mark incorrect answer: 2/3 mark deduction.
