The provisional answer key 2026 for Advertisement No. 13 of 2025 for Assistant Civil Engineer Exam has been released by the West Bengal Municipal Service Commission. The answer key allows candidates to calculate scores by analysing the correct answers and calculating marks based on their submissions in the computer-based test before the final score card is generated.

1. Count the Number of Correct Answers
   Match your responses with the answer key and note down how many questions you answered correctly and add 2 marks for each correct answer.

2. Count the Number of Incorrect Answers
   Identify the questions where your answer does not match the answer key and deduct 1 mark for each wrong answer.

3. Apply the Marking Formula

   Use the following formula to calculate your score:

   Final Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 2) – (Number of Wrong Answers × 1)

4. Check the Maximum Marks
   Ensure that your calculated score does not exceed the maximum limit of 200 marks.

Example WBMSC Score Calculation for Assistant Civil Engineer Exam

If a candidate has:

• Correct answers: 65
• Wrong answers: 20
• Unattempted questions: 15

Then the score will be calculated as:

• Marks for correct answers = 65 × 2 = 130

• Negative marks = 20 × 1 = 20

• Final Score = 130 – 20 = 110 marks
