How to calculate your score and handle negative marking?

The GDC screening test consists of objective multiple-choice questions covering both your core subject and General Studies. To calculate your approximate score before the official results are announced, keep the marking pattern in mind:

• For Correct Answers: Add the full marks assigned to that specific question.
• For Incorrect Answers: Deduct 1/3rd (0.33) marks as a penalty for negative marking.
• Unattempted Questions: No marks will be added or deducted for questions left blank.

Make sure you strictly count only the genuine matches to get a realistic view of your safe zone score.

What is the process to raise objections against wrong answers?

Sometimes, the commission's provisional key might contain typographical errors or wrong answer choices. If you are 100% sure that an answer given by UPPSC is incorrect, you have the full right to challenge it. Here is how you can do it:

Step 1: Gather Proof: You must have authentic academic proof. UPPSC only accepts standard reference books, NCERTs, or official government data reports. Local guidebooks or random web screenshots are instantly rejected.

Step 2: Format the Objection: UPPSC usually releases a specific format layout in their official notification. You need to write your Name, Roll Number, Booklet Set Number, Question Number, the answer given by UPPSC, and your suggested correct answer with proper book references.

Step 3: Submit the Form: Depending on the notice instructions, you will either upload the objections through the online candidate portal or send them via speed post/hand-delivery to the UPPSC office in Prayagraj before the final deadline.
