How is the CUET percentage calculated? 

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) is conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) for admission in the undergraduate courses in the central, state, deemed, and private universities. If you want to secure admission in any prestigious central or state universities, then you should have proper knowledge about the marking scheme. Your raw score is calculated based on your right and wrong answers in the CUET exam. Once you get the CUET score, you can easily calculate your percentage.

How to Calculate the CUET Percentage

The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) score is officially released in the form of normalized marks, not in percentage form, but students calculated an approximate CUET percentage to understand their performance. 

Step 1: Log in to the official portal of the CUET NTA https://cuet.nta.nic.in/

Step 2: Download the response sheet and CUET answer sheet.

Step 3: Determine the total number of questions you attempted.

Step 4: Check your answers with the answer key and calculate the raw score.

Negative Marking In the CUET UG Exam

The CUET UG exam follows a clear marking scheme and also follows the negative marking. This marking scheme plays a crucial role in a student’s final answer key. Before analyzing the answer key, you should have proper knowledge about the negative marking pattern; that can help you calculate the estimated marks. CUET UG follows negative marking; that is, it follows +5 marks for each right answer and -1 mark for each wrong answer. No extra marks deducted for unattempted answers.

Step-by-Step CUET Percentage Calculations

It is important to note that NTA does not officially release CUET results in percentage format. The CUET results are declared in the form of raw marks, normalized scores, and final percentiles. Some universities or institutions may ask candidates to convert their CUET score into a percentage for shortlisting for admission in undergraduate courses.

• Calculate the total marks obtained in the selected subjects after negative marking.
• The candidate can calculate the percentage of marks through the percentage formula.

For example:

If you get 650 marks out of 750, then

CUET Percentage = (720/800)*100

CUET final percentage is 90.27%.

CUET UG Marks vs Percentile

CUET UG marks and percentiles are two different things; NTA released the raw marks after the examinations. After releasing the raw marks, NTA will release the results after the normalization process. The CUET score is the total score that candidates score in the exam, and the CUET percentile is the comparative score after the normalization process.
