How is the CUET score calculated?
NTA's marking scheme for CUET UG:
Score = (Correct × 5) − (Wrong × 1)
Worked example
- 38 correct, 7 wrong out of 50 → (38 × 5) − 7 = 183 / 250
- Unattempted questions neither add nor subtract marks.
Universities convert raw scores to normalized percentiles across shifts — your admission list position uses the normalized score.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there negative marking in CUET?
Yes — one mark is deducted for every wrong answer, while each correct answer earns five.
Should I attempt all CUET questions?
Only when you can eliminate options confidently — random guessing costs 1 mark per miss against 5 per hit, so guess only with elimination.
What is a good CUET score?
It depends on the university and program — top DU programs need very high normalized scores. Use your raw score here, then compare with last year's cutoffs.
Does CUET use percentile or raw marks?
Both: NTA normalizes raw scores across exam shifts into percentiles, and universities publish cutoffs on the normalized scale.
