CUET UG Result 2025: What is the normalisation process?
For each subject for which the examination is held in multiple shifts, the raw score for each candidate appearing for the subject will be converted into NTA score (percentile scores and then into normalised scores).
However, universities are directed to consider only the normalised raw score for merit list preparation. According to the NTA, this process reliably estimates candidates' normalised marks when tests are conducted in multiple sessions with varying difficulty levels in the same subject.
Three values are needed to calculate a candidate's normalised score:
A: The candidate's raw score
B: The total number of candidates who scored equal to or less than A in that session
C: The total number of candidates in the session
The formula is: (B ÷ C) × 100
For example, if a student scores 121 in a session of 41,326 candidates, and 37,244 candidates score less than or equal to 121, her normalised percentile score would be:
(37,244 ÷ 41,326) × 100 = 90.1224411
Percentile scores are calculated up to seven decimal places.
The NTA first ranks all candidates in descending order of their percentile scores. Raw scores are then matched against these percentiles. Next, a third value called the interpolated mark is derived using linear interpolation.
This method estimates what each candidate would have scored if they had appeared for the same paper twice. The actual raw marks are divided by the interpolated marks to obtain the normalised raw score.
NTA had already released the provisional answer keys on June 17 and allowed the candidates to raise grievances against them by June 20.
