How do I calculate my GATE EC EC paper score from the response sheet?

Count right and wrong answers per section from the response sheet and apply the official marking: Questions carry 1 or 2 marks. A wrong 1-mark MCQ costs 1/3 and a wrong 2-mark MCQ costs 2/3. MSQ and NAT have no negative marking, and no question gives partial marks.

Can I challenge the GATE EC EC paper answer key?
