Score Calculation

Percentile scores were calculated and using Equipercentile and Interpolation methods they were made into scores for fair calculation as different students attended the exam on different dates.

After getting the Scores

After getting the CUET UG scores, students can apply to different courses in different universities based on their interest. The most important point to note is that, the admission criteria/requirements of each university to its various courses are different. For example admission to Delhi University is done through its CSAS or Common Seat Allocation System 2022. In DU a student is required to attend domain subjects they studied in 12th even if they wanted to change streams.

The point to be taken is that different universities have different admission procedures and eligibility criteria. Your CUET UG Scores will be applied in the different contexts of eligibility criteria provided by different universities. So check their respective criteria before applying.
