The NEET PG 2026 exam awards +4 marks for every correct answer, deducts 1 mark for every incorrect answer, and gives 0 marks for unanswered questions.

Probable Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 4) − (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1)

For example, if a candidate has answered 150 questions, out of which 120 are correct and 30 are incorrect, the estimated score would be:

(120 × 4) − (30 × 1) = 450 marks

Candidates should note that the score calculated using the provisional answer key is only an estimated score. The final marks will be based on the final answer key and the evaluation process followed by NBEMS.
