How to Calculate Your Score Using the TS PGECET Answer Key 2026

TS PGECET 2026 follows a straightforward marking scheme — +1 mark for every correct answer and zero marks for incorrect or unattempted questions (there is no negative marking). To calculate your score, you need your response sheet and the final answer key for your discipline.

• Download your discipline’s final answer key PDF from the official portal.
• Download your TS PGECET 2026 response sheet from the candidate login on the official portal.
• Go through each question (Q1 to Q120) and compare the option you marked on your response sheet with the correct option in the final answer key.
• Add +1 mark for each correct answer; incorrect answers carry zero marks (no deduction); unattempted questions also carry zero marks.
• Sum all correct answers — that total is your raw TS PGECET 2026 score out of 120.
• Use the formula: Total Score = Number of Correct Answers × 1

Note: Only the official TS PGECET Result 2026 contains the final verified score and rank. Self-calculated scores are estimates; minor discrepancies are possible if any question was dropped or awarded marks to all students after objection review.

TS PGECET Marks vs Rank 2026

The table below shows the expected rank range corresponding to marks obtained in TS PGECET 2026, based on historical trends from previous years. Since TS PGECET has no negative marking and awards 1 mark per correct answer from 120 questions, a score above 80 is generally considered strong for securing admission in top colleges. The qualifying cutoff is 30 marks (25%) for general category and 6 marks (5%) for SC/ST students.

Note: The marks vs rank correlation is based on historical TS PGECET data and is indicative only. Actual ranks depend on the total number of students who appeared, the difficulty level of each discipline paper, and any normalization applied by TSCHE.
