NTA Scorecard vs University Merit

How CUET Scores Are Evaluated for Admission

Understand how NTA test scores translate into university-specific merit rankings and seat allotments.

1

What NTA Declares

  • Subject-wise NTA Scorecard: Raw marks obtained out of 250 and normalized percentile scores per subject.
  • No Centralized AIR: NTA does NOT release an overall common All-India Rank (AIR) or universal national cutoff score.
  • Digital Score Sharing: NTA securely transmits candidate scores to the participating universities chosen during application.
2

How Universities Calculate Merit

  • Programme Mapping: The university aggregates scores only for the specific subjects required for that degree.
  • Example (DU B.Com Hons): Aggregate of 1 Language (200M) + Math/Accountancy (200M) + 2 Domains (400M) = 800 Total Marks.
  • Example (BHU B.A. Arts): Language (200M) + General Aptitude Test (250M) = 450 Total Marks.
