The scorecard is only valid for the 2026-27 academic cycle and must be retained throughout the admission and counselling process.

Scoring and Normalization Process

CUET is conducted across multiple shifts and subjects. To ensure fairness, a normalization process is used, equating results across shifts of different difficulties.

Scores are reported both as raw scores and normalized percentiles or marks.

Marking Scheme: +5 for each correct answer, -1 for each incorrect answer, and 0 for unanswered questions.

After Results: University Merit Lists and Counselling

• The NTA does not release a centralized merit list.
• Each university prepares its own merit list or cut-off based on CUET results and additional eligibility criteria.
• After downloading their scorecards, candidates must apply separately to each participating university.
• Admission is finalized only after counselling, which involves choice filling, document verification, and seat allotment as per university protocols.
