Questions that are left unattempted will receive 0 marks. Importantly, there is a provision for negative marking, where 1/3rd of a mark is deducted for every incorrect answer. The total marks for the exam are 500, divided between Paper 1 (General Knowledge) worth 200 marks and Paper 2 (Subject-Specific) worth 300 marks.

How to Calculate Your Expected Score

1. Begin by meticulously comparing your OMR response sheet against the official RPSC 2nd Grade Answer Key 2026 for each subject.
2. For every question marked with an asterisk (*), which indicates questions awarded to all candidates, add the full marks (2 marks) to your score.
3. For each question you answered incorrectly, deduct 1/3 of a mark as per the negative marking policy.
4. Questions you did not attempt should be given 0 marks.
5. Sum up the marks obtained from all correct answers and subtract the marks deducted for incorrect answers to arrive at your estimated score for each paper.
6. Finally, add the net scores from Paper 1 and Paper 2 to get your total probable score out of 500.
