CUET UG normalised score calculator

How to use the calculator

1. Count correct and wrong answers from the answer key. Unattempted questions are not entered.
2. Enter the number of questions in that subject paper (usually 50).
3. Read your raw score out of the paper maximum, accuracy, and an estimated percentile.

Why CUET scores are normalised

CUET UG runs the same subject in several shifts, each with a different paper. Without an adjustment, a candidate in a harder shift would be penalised. NTA uses the equipercentile method to fix this. The official normalised score is published only on the CUET scorecard.

How the equipercentile method works

1. NTA finds each candidate's percentile within their own shift.
2. It lines up the same percentiles across all shifts of that subject.
3. Each candidate gets the score that matches their percentile on a common scale.

In plain terms, being in the top 10% of a hard shift and the top 10% of an easy shift leads to a similar normalised score.

What the estimate can and cannot do

This calculator applies the official +5 / −1 marking and interpolates a percentile from the raw score. The real normalised score needs every candidate's raw marks, which only NTA has. Use the result to judge which subjects are strong, not as your final CUET score.

FAQs

Can my normalised score be lower than my raw score?

Yes. If your shift was easier than the others, your normalised score can come out lower than the raw marks this tool shows.

Is normalisation done across subjects?

No. Each subject is normalised on its own, across the shifts of that subject only.

Do universities use the normalised score?

Yes. The CUET scorecard reports normalised scores, and universities build merit lists from them.
