No deduction for unanswered questions
Estimated Score = Correct Answers × 1 – Wrong Answers × 0.25
Suppose a candidate attempted 100 questions and got:
Correct Answers: 80
Incorrect Answers: 15
Then,
Score = (80 × 1) – (15 × 0.25)
Score = 80 – 3.75 = 76.25 marks
Candidates should note that the final score may vary depending on revisions made in the final answer key.
With the release of the provisional answer key, the result declaration process is expected to begin soon. The PSSSB Veterinary Inspector Result 2026 is likely to be announced in August 2026, although the board has not yet confirmed an official date.
