Colleges will prepare own merit list, conduct individual counselling on basis of CUET-UG score card: NTA

CUET UG Results 2022: The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) Result 2022 has been announced for undergraduate admissions today; i.e. September 16, 2022. The CUET UG Results were earlier scheduled to be announced on September 15 by 10 pm as announced by University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar. However, the CUET Result 2022 was delayed and announced today.  NTA said post-midnight that there will be a delay citing a huge database.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has also announced that merit lists will be prepared by participating universities, who will decide about their individual counselling on the basis of the CUET-UG score card. While speaking on the same, Sadhana Parashar, senior director (exams), NTA said, "the performance of every candidate was evaluated using the equi-percentile method. Under this method, normalised marks of every candidate were calculated using the percentiles of each group of students in a given session across multiple days for the same subject. For several subjects, CUET-UG was conducted in different shifts. Since the question papers for any subject in different shifts are different and it is quite possible that despite all best possible efforts to maintain equivalence among various question papers, the difficulty level of these question papers administered in different sessions may not be the same or similar."

"Some of the candidates might have ended up attempting a relatively tougher set of questions as compared to other sets. The candidates who attempted the comparatively tougher examination are likely to get lower marks as compared to those who attempted the easier one. The scores of the students across shifts are not directly comparable. Hence, there was a need for normalising the marks across shifts to make them amenable to such comparisons," she added.

The first edition of CUET-UG, for admission to undergraduate courses offered in all central universities, began in July and was concluded on August 30.
