Medical aspirants have to count both correct and incorrect responses to know their final NEET score. In case, if more than one answer is marked for a particular question, it will be considered unanswered. For every correct answer, 4 marks will be allotted while one mark will be deducted for an incorrect response. No mark will be awarded for unanswered questions or questions with more than one answer.
