CUET UG 2024 Marks vs Percentile

NTA score is a percentile score of the candidate in the test in which he appeared. It indicates his position relative to others who appeared in the CUET UG Exam. It is an indicator of the relative position of the candidates amongst those who appeared in the test. Percentile will be calculated for each of the tests in which the candidate appeared, separately. As per policy, raw marks are not provided.

Steps to Calculate CUET UG Percentile Score

The percentiles are calculated separately for each shift.

1. Record the number of candidates who have appeared in a shift. Denote this number by N.

2. Sort all the candidates in one shift in decreasing order of their marks.

3. Note the raw marks for each candidate. Suppose this is denoted by T. Count the number of candidates in that shift whose raw scores are less than or equal to T. Denote this number by m.

4. The percentile score for this candidate is then calculated as:
