How to Calculate CUET UG 2025 Score
The CUET UG 2025 follows a strict marking scheme:
- +5 marks for each correct answer
- -1 mark for each incorrect answer
- 0 marks for unattempted questions
Score Calculation Formula
Total Score = (Number of Correct Answers × 5) – (Number of Incorrect Answers × 1)
Example:
- If you answered 80 correctly and 10 incorrectly, your score would be:
80 × 5 = 400
10 × 1 = 10 (deduction)
Final Score = 400 – 10 = 390
For percentile calculation, NTA uses normalization to adjust for difficulty variations across shifts
