Cross-Check Your Answers
Compare each answer you marked in the OMR sheet against the official answer key. Count the number of questions you answered correctly in Paper I and Paper II separately.
Apply the Scoring Formula
Since there is no negative marking, simply multiply correct answers × 2 marks.
Paper I Score = Correct Answers × 2 (out of 100)
Paper II Score = Correct Answers × 2 (out of 200)
Total = Paper I + Paper II
Ignore Incorrect and Unattempted Questions
Since Kerala SET has no negative marking, wrong answers or skipped questions do not deduct any marks. Only count the correctly answered questions.
Compare Against Cut Off
Check if your Paper I score, Paper II score, and total score each individually meet the cut-off percentage for your category. All three conditions (P1 %, P2 %, and aggregate) must be met to qualify. Then verify with the official result at lbsedp.lbscentre.in/setjan26/
