Candidates can read the article below to learn about CUET normalisation process and how the marks are calculated.
CUET Normalisation Process
CUET 2024 Normalisation Process: For academic session 2024-25, the National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce CUET result 2024 soon at exams.nta.ac.in/CUET-UG/. Candidates will be able to download the scorecard soon after the CUET UG 2024 result declaration. CUET exam was held to provide admission to candidates in Undergraduate (UG) in all the Central, State, Private or Deemed Universities. Candidates appeared for the CUET exam were provided opportunity to select a combination of subjects from 29 different subjects. Notably, CUET 2024 was held in 8 days window and test of a subject was taken on different days. The exam was conducted in 387 cities across India and 24 cities outside India. Therefore, the CUET 2024 normalisation process will help candidates to compare and analyse their written test of the same subjects held on different days.
What is CUET Normalisation 2024?
Providing a solution to the above-mentioned problem, NTA stated about a technique called as ''equipercentile method''. According to NTA,'' In this method, percentile for each candidate is calculated using the raw marks of the candidate as compared to the raw marks of others in the same session. This is done for every session across multiple days for the same subject. These percentiles are then equated and converted into normalised marks. For sessions with a smaller number of candidates, these are clubbed with bigger sessions.''

Want better recommendations?
There is a 90% more chance of getting best college recommendations by sharing preferences.In the normalisation process, the raw marks of students appearing for the same subject on different days and multiple shifts, are converted into normalised marks. The UGC Chairman, Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar, explaining about the Normalisation process, talking to PTI said, ''These normalised marks of the candidates, obtained using equipercentile method, in different sessions in a given subject can be used in the same way we use the raw marks of a conventional single session examination. Therefore, in a particular university, if the raw marks of the skill component have certain weightage it can be added to the remaining weightage of the normalized marks to prepare the rank list.''

- Total number of candidates that appeared for the CUET UG exam
- The number of seats offered by the participating universities through CUET UG
- The difficulty level of the CUET exam
- Overall performance of the test takers (pass percentage/ score range, etc.)
CUET cut off is based on the percentile of the candidate. To calculate the CUET percentile following formula is applied:
100*Number of candidates appeared in the session with a raw score is equal to or less than a candidate/ total number of candidates appeared for CUET UG.

Q: How is CUET normalized score calculated?
The CUET (Common University Entrance Test) normalised scores are derived through a systematic process that ensures fairness across different testing sessions. Here’s a detailed breakdown of how these scores are calculated:
Raw Marks Collection: Initially, each candidate's raw marks are collected after they complete the exam. These marks represent the number of correct answers each candidate achieved.
Percentile Calculation: For each candidate, their percentile is calculated based on how their raw marks compare to those of other candidates who took the exam in the same session. This percentile indicates the relative standing of a candidate among their peers within that specific session.
Session Equating: The process involves multiple testing sessions that may occur over several days for the same subject. The percentiles calculated for each session are then equated to ensure consistency in scoring across all sessions.
Normalisation Process: After equating the percentiles, they are converted into normalised marks. This step helps to standardise scores across varying exam conditions and candidate populations.
Handling Smaller Sessions: In instances where a session has a limited number of candidates, those scores are aggregated with larger sessions. This clubbing ensures that every candidate's performance is compared against a more substantial and diverse group, leading to a more reliable and equitable normalised score.
Then through the linear interpolation method, marks of students are calculated in the above blanks in the table.
Step 4: Calculation of normalised marks
In the final step, normalised marks for each student are calculated on a common scale.
