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. Scorecard Details (CUET UG) Your official CUET scorecard will show: Raw marks per subject Normalized scores Percentile per subject Overall rank (for participating universities) CUET Score ≠ CUET Percentile CUET Percentile = Number of candidates behind you ÷ Total candidates × 100 Used for university-specific cutoffs. Overall Cutoff Ranges (out of 250) General (UR): 180–230 marks (≈ 98–99 percentile) OBC‑NCL/EWS: 150–200 marks (≈ 90–95 percentile) SC/ST: 120–170 marks (≈ 70–85 percentile) University-Specific Cutoffs Delhi University (DU) Top colleges (SRCC, Hindu, LSR, St. Stephen’s, Hansraj): General: 700–750 marks (≈ 98–100 percentile) Course-wise examples: B.Com (Hons): 200–220 marks (97–99 percentile) B.A. (Hons) Economics/English/Pol Sci: ~170–200 marks (92–98 percentile) Marks cutoffs (approx) by college: Hindu, LSR, Miranda House, St. Stephen’s: 900–935 marks Hansraj, Kirori Mal, Daulat Ram, Ramjas, Gargi: 800–875 marks Banaras Hindu University (BHU) General category (raw scores): B.Com: 600–630 | B.Sc: 540–570 | B.A Social Science: 390–420 marks Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) Language Courses (percentile): General: 91–95; OBC: 89–92; SC/ST: ~73–88 percentile  Other Central Universities JMI (percentile): B.A Arabic – ≈ 64–91, English – 48–67, Economics/PolSci – 60–70 percentile AMU (approx rank-based mark ranges, indicative): varied by course/category Central Univ. of Gujarat: round‑wise cutoffs like BA German ~400–405 first‑round; dropping to 261–270 by 8th round
