🔍 Importance of Verifying Your Answers
Before the final result is announced, it’s highly recommended that candidates cross-check their responses using the answer key. This helps in:
- Estimating your probable score
- Identifying any discrepancies
- Understanding performance trends
- Preparing for the next stage (interviews/document verification) if you qualify
Being proactive now can help you avoid surprises when the final result is out.
📊 How to Calculate Your Expected Score
Here’s a quick guide on how to estimate your score:
- Check the marking scheme mentioned in the exam notification (usually +1 for correct answers, and negative marking if applicable).
- For each correct answer, add the allotted marks.
- For incorrect answers, subtract the negative marks, if any.
- Sum up the total for your expected score.
Example:
- Correct answers: 70 × 1 = 70
- Incorrect answers (if -0.25 penalty): 10 × 0.25 = -2.5
- Total score = 70 – 2.5 = 67.5
This gives you a fair idea of your standing and readiness for the next step.

As per the latest announcement on the FSSAI website, the final result is expected to be declared by mid-May 2025, after all objections are reviewed and the final answer key is released. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official website for real-time updates.
