How to Calculate Your Marks from the PSSSB Group D Answer Key 2026

Match your marked answers with the official key for your question paper set (A, B, C or D). Then use this formula:

Marks = (Correct answers × 1) − (Wrong answers × 0.25)

Unattempted questions carry no marks and no penalty.

• Example (for understanding only): If you have 80 correct answers, 15 wrong answers and 5 unattempted questions, your marks = 80 − (15 × 0.25) = 80 − 3.75 = 76.25.
• Use the same formula for your own paper. Check the official notice for the total number of questions.
• This is a provisional key, so marks can change after the final answer key is released.
