Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2022 has been conducted for the first time this year to fill the seats in various UG courses offered by different central, private, and state universities and colleges. The CUET exam was conducted in multiple sessions. There were almost 27 domain-specific subjects out of which students had to choose at least 2. The question paper of CUET consists of language, domain-specific subjects and general tests. NTA has followed the normalization process to determine the CUET 2022 percentile score and rank.
CUET 2022 Ranking System
The ranking for the CUET 2022 exam will be based on the CUET 2022 results. The CUET UG 2022 results were declared on 15th September 2022. Let us look at the ranking system that will be followed in the CUET 2022 exam.
Let us have a look at the ranking system that is to be followed by the CUET 2022 results. The CUET 2022 ranking system includes the discussion of the score calculations, rank calculations, and normalization process.
CUET 2022 Expected Marks Vs Percentile 2022
As the exam is conducted in multiple sessions, the marks vs percentile analysis will vary according to the subject. Below the marks and percentile are provided for the students for reference:
| Marks Range | Expected Percentile |
| 200-180 | 100 |
| 187-170 | 99 |
| 169-150 | 98-97 |

How to Calculate Score – CUET 2022
To make it easy for the students, here is the simplified process to that will help the students to calculate the CUET 2022 score:
- Since the exam was conducted in multiple sessions therefore NTA (National Testing Agency) has adopted a normalization process through which the CUET 2022 percentile is calculated.
- First, the highest percentile scored by the student in a particular session is to be taken into consideration.
- The percentile score will have up to 7 decimal points. This will help NTA in giving the ranks to the students on the basis of the percentile score with the exact decimal points.
- A thing to keep in mind is that the candidate with the highest marks in each shift shall get 100 percentiles.
- The National Testing Agency (NTA) will release the percentile and the raw score while announcing the results.
Formula for Normalization
Total Percentile (100) = (Number of candidates who appeared from the session with a raw scoreless or equal to the total percentile) / (Total number of candidates who appeared in the session)
What is Tie-Breaker Method?
If two or more than two students having identical CUET score choose the same college and course as their top choices, their class 12 board marks or the percentage will be used as a tiebreaker to determine who will get the seat.
Marking scheme followed in CUET 2022
Understanding the marking scheme is important to calculate the CUET 2022 score. Let’s understand how the CUET 2022 scores will be determined
