36 questionsHow NEET PG 2026 Scoring Works
NEET PG 2026 uses a 720-mark system across 180 questions in five sections — Group A through E, 36 questions each, 42 minutes per section. Each correct answer gives +4 marks. Each wrong answer gives −1 mark. Unattempted questions score 0.
The five-section locked format means once a section closes you cannot return to it. Section-level pacing matters more than overall pacing. Leaving a question blank is sometimes the right call — a wrong answer costs you 5 marks relative to leaving it blank: you lose the +4 you would have gained, plus the −1 penalty.
Track your score after every HAMMER weekly grand test and mock session. Small weekly improvements compound significantly over months of consistent preparation.
NEET PG 2026 Score vs Expected Rank
This calculator’s job is the score. What that score is worth in rank terms lives on one page, kept from a single dataset so it cannot drift — including score-by-score answers (550 marks, 500 marks) and how many correct answers each one takes.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Every correct answer is +4, every wrong answer is −1, and unattempted questions score 0. The paper has 180 questions for a maximum of 720 marks. (Source: NBEMS Information Bulletin, July 2026.)
2026 moves to 180 questions and 720 maximum marks, replacing the old 200-question / 800-mark format. The +4 / −1 marking scheme stays the same.
No. Only wrong answers are penalised (−1). A skipped question scores 0, so guessing only helps if you can confidently eliminate some options first.
It applies the official +4 / −1 / 0 marking exactly. If your correct, wrong, and unattempted counts are right, the score is exact, with no estimation involved.
Each wrong answer costs 5 marks relative to leaving it blank (−1 instead of +4). Attempt a question only when you can rule out at least two options; blind guessing usually lowers your score.
INI-CET uses a different pattern and marking scheme, so this calculator is built specifically for NEET PG 2026.
