How Is the CUET Percentile Calculated?

NTA uses the percentile system to compare the performance of candidates who appeared in different exam sessions. Your percentile shows how you performed in relation to other candidates who took the test in the same session.

Percentile Formula:

Percentile = (Number of candidates who scored equal to or lower than your score / Total number of candidates who appeared in the same session) x 100

How Does NTA Calculate the Percentile?

The percentile is calculated through the following process:

  • First, NTA calculates your raw score based on the official marking scheme. 
  • It then counts the total number of candidates who appeared in your exam session. 
  • Next, it identifies how many candidates scored the same as or less than your raw score. 
  • Finally, NTA applies the percentile formula to generate your percentile score. 

Important: A percentile is not the same as your marks or percentage. It reflects your relative performance within your exam session and is used during the admission process.

What Is the CUET Normalisation Process?

Since CUET UG is conducted in multiple sessions, the difficulty level of question papers may vary slightly from one session to another. To ensure fairness, NTA uses a normalisation process before preparing for the final scores.

How Does the Normalisation Process Work?

The normalisation process helps maintain a fair comparison among candidates who appeared in different sessions.

  • It considers the overall performance of candidates in each exam session.
  • NTA uses a statistical method to minimise the impact of variations in question paper difficulty. 
  • The final NTA score is prepared after applying the normalisation process. 
  • Participating universities use the normalised NTA scores during the admission process. 

Important: The normalisation process is designed to ensure that candidates are evaluated fairly, regardless of the session in which they appeared for the examination.
