Last year, the CUET UG provisional answer key was initially released on June 29, but several errors led to a re-release on July 3. A total of 333 questions were dropped initially, followed by another set of answer keys where 411 questions were dropped. The final result was declared on July 15. This year, candidates are hopeful for a more accurate and timely release of the answer key.
NTA Score and Normalization Process
- NTA Score: The NTA score is a percentile score indicating the candidate’s relative position among others who appeared in the test.
- Normalization: The CUET UG 2024 was conducted in a single shift for each language, subject, and general test, eliminating the need for normalization. However, for subjects conducted in multiple shifts, the equi-percentile method will be used to normalize marks.
Special Case: May 29 Exam
The exam on May 29 was specifically for students affected by a wrong question paper distribution on May 15 at the Maharana Pratap Group of Colleges exam center. About 215 students were affected when English medium question papers were mistakenly given to Hindi medium students.
