Exciting news for GATE 2024 aspirants! The Indian Institute of Science (IISC) Bangalore has just released the Answer Keys for the GATE 2024 exam. These keys, along with the Master Question Papers, are now available for review. You can find them easily through the link provided in this blog below. Remember, from February 22nd to February 25th, 2024, candidates can challenge any discrepancies they find in these keys.
It’s important to understand that the Answer Key matches the question order in the Master Question Paper. Even if the sequence during the exam was different, you should refer to the Master Question Paper and its Answer Key to verify your responses and raise challenges if needed.
For Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs), only one option is correct. Choosing the wrong one results in negative marking: one-third for one-mark questions and two-thirds for two-mark questions. In Multiple Select Questions (MSQs), you must select all correct options without picking any wrong ones to score full marks. There’s no partial marking, and no negative marking for MSQs.
For Numerical Answer Type (NAT) questions, ensure your numerical responses fall within the specified range in the Answer Key to get full marks. NATs don’t incur negative marking. In the Answer Key files, “MTA” means Marks to All. This means all candidates receive the marks assigned to those questions.
Keep yourself updated on GATE 2024 by checking the Answer Keys regularly and raising challenges if needed. It’s your chance to ensure fairness in the evaluation process.
Here’s a concise guide on how to check the GATE Answer Key 2024:
