How to Calculate Marks Using the Unofficial Answer Key?
-
Check your set/code — Look at your question paper for Set A, B, C, or D.
-
Compare answers — Match what you wrote (or remember) with the unofficial key for your set. Start with MCQs/objective (easy to verify), then short answers, and long/descriptive ones (compare key points).

Tally correct ones — Count accurate responses section-wise.

Apply marks (as per standard pattern):
-
MCQs/very short: 1–2 marks each

Short answers: 3–4 marks each

Sum theory marks — Add up for 80/80 (theory paper). Add your known internal/oral marks (20) separately if you have them.
Quick example:

MCQs: 18/20 correct → 18 marks
-
Short answers: 22/30 marks
