The CUET UG is not limited to a single-session exam with a couple of subjects. The CUET UG exam had several subject combinations, so the usual percentile method cannot be used here and since the test is conducted on different days and in multiple sessions for the same subject, it will give rise to multiple percentiles for each group of students. Comparing their performance using only percentiles will, therefore, become difficult. So, the equipercentile method is used instead. What is equipercentile method? Read details here.
The scorecard for CUET would look very different from the usual NTA-issued score cards (such as JEE, NEET).
“Think of the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) or SAT ( Scholastic Assessment Test) reports, which, essentially, only tell you how much you have scored in a section or subject. It doesn’t say anything about your performance in relation to other examinees. Candidates then use this score to apply to universities. CUET will not be too different from this,” a senior official told The Indian Express. Check the whole format here

To address the teething issues for next year, the NTA is exploring a reduction in the number of subject choices and combinations. Reduction in the number of subject combinations on offer and review of the number of cities where the exams are held are among the measures under consideration.
In an interview to The Indian Express last month, NTA chief Vineet Joshi said, “This was the first year of CUET and people were apprehensive that this was yet another entrance test that would push students towards coaching. In this context, we decided not to limit the subject combinations on offer. This eventually led to 45,000+ unique combinations of subjects opted by students appearing for CUET-UG. However, based on suggestions from various academics and students, we are now looking to strike a balance. We might propose a reduction in the basket of subjects that candidates can choose from…,” he said.
