CUET Marks and Percentile are two different measures of how a candidate performs on the Common University Entrance Test. CUET marks is a mark which is obtained by the candidates in the exam. CUET percentile shows the candidate’s position compared to the other candidates who appeared in the exam. NTA released the CUET Result in the scorecard form and it comprises the percentile of the students and their normalized score.
Candidates are now puzzled about how Marks, Percentile, and Normalised Scores will be calculated by NTA. The 95th percentile means that 95 people got marks that are lower than the candidate's. Someone may have scored 62 out of 100, and their percentile might be 95.
Both factors of CUET are important in evaluating candidates for admission to undergraduate programs. Percentiles are more important than scores since they provide an accurate assessment of a candidate's performance.
| CUET Marks 2023 | CUET Percentile 2023 |
|---|---|
| The raw scores that a candidate receives for each subject | A measure of how a candidate's score compares to the scores of other candidates |
| The sum of the marks that a candidate scores in each subject | The number of candidates who scored equal to or lower than a particular score divided by the total number of candidates who took the exam |
| A candidate's performance in each subject | A candidate's performance relative to other candidates |
| Used to determine a candidate's eligibility for admission to a particular program | Used to rank candidates for admission to a particular program |
According to the official notification from the NTA (National Testing Agency) regarding the marking scheme for the CUET exam in 2023, the following guidelines have been confirmed:
Percentiles for each session of the CUET are calculated separately. By using the following steps CUET percentile can be calculated:
the CUET percentile score (P) is calculated using the formula:
P = (M * 100) / N
Here, N represents the total number of students who appeared for the exam. By applying this formula, the percentile score of a candidate is obtained, representing the percentage of students who scored lower than or equal to them in the exam.
The normalization of marks in CUET is done to ensure that all candidates' scores are measured on a standardized scale. This normalization process takes into account the difficulty level of the exam and aims to eliminate any discrepancies caused by variations in question difficulty.
Normalized Marks 2023 - Equipercentile method
This method involves calculating the normalized marks for each candidate based on the percentiles of different groups of students who took the exam in the same session across multiple days for the same subject. As a result, a student's raw marks may vary from their normalized score.
normalized score is derived based on the performance of the entire group, and it may differ from the candidate's original raw marks. This method aims to provide a standardized scale for evaluating and comparing candidates' performances accurately.
