The National Testing Agency (NTA) is expected to announce the CUET Exam Result (CUET UG 2026 result) tentatively in the first week of July 2026. Candidates will be able to download their CUET scorecards from cuet.nta.nic.in. To download the scorecard PDF, candidates will need to enter their application number and password. Based on trends from previous years, CUET results are typically declared one month after the conclusion of the examination.

After downloading the CUET UG 2026 scorecard, candidates can view their subject-wise NTA scores, percentiles, and overall scores. Based on the marks obtained, candidates may apply for CUET counselling 2026. Students should note that every university accepting CUET scores conducts its own separate counselling process.

How is the CUET Percentile Calculated?

The CUET percentile is calculated using a normalisation formula based on session-specific performance. The NTA uses the formula given below to calculate the CUET percentile:

Percentile Score = 100 × (Number of candidates who appeared in that session with a raw score equal to or less than your score) / (Total number of candidates who appeared in that session).

Steps for CUET Percentile Calculation: Candidates can calculate their CUET UG percentile by following the steps given below:

The raw score for CUET UG is calculated using the following formula:

CUET Raw Score = (Number of correct answers × 5) – (Number of incorrect answers × 1)

The NTA calculates the total number of candidates who appeared in that specific session. It determines how many students have a score equal to or less than your score.

CUET Result 2026: What is the Normalization Process?

The CUET normalization process is implemented to ensure that candidates neither gain an advantage nor suffer a disadvantage based on the difficulty level of the examination, which is conducted across multiple phases. Under this process, candidates appearing in all sessions of the CUET UG 2026 examination will be ranked on a comparative scale.

In the CUET normalization process, based on the average performance in each session, scores from easier sessions may be slightly reduced, while scores from more difficult sessions may be slightly increased. If there is no significant difference between the averages of the two sessions, there will be no significant difference in the normalized scores either. To avoid the "bunching effect," percentile scores are calculated up to seven decimal places.
