[freddyjohn]

To calculate your CUET score (Common University Entrance Test) accurately, you need to follow the marking scheme set by NTA (National Testing Agency). Here’s a step-by-step guide:

CUET UG 2025 Score Calculation

 Marking Scheme

• Correct Answer: +5 marks
  
• Wrong Answer: –1 mark (negative marking)
  
• Unanswered/Marked for Review: 0 marks
  

---

Formula

Code:

CUET Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 5) – (Number of Wrong Answers × 1)

---

Example Calculation

Let’s say for a subject you attempted 50 questions:

• Correct Answers = 42
  
• Wrong Answers = 6
  
• Unanswered = 2
  

Then:

Code:

CUET Score = (42 × 5) – (6 × 1)
            = 210 – 6
            = 204

Normalization

Since CUET is conducted in multiple shifts and question papers may vary slightly in difficulty, NTA applies a normalization process to ensure fairness. So your raw score is adjusted using a statistical method called Equipercentile Method.

• Your normalized score (used for merit lists) may be higher or lower than your raw score.
  
• Percentile Rank is also calculated to compare your score with other test takers.
