New Delhi: The Common University Entrance Test (CUET) marks vs percentiles are two different scores that evaluate the performance of candidates in the entrance exam. The CUET marks or score is the total marks that a candidate has scored in the entrance exam as per the CUET marking scheme. The CUET percentile, which is calculated out of 100, is the relative score that indicates how well a candidate has performed compared to similar and other sessions of the entrance exam.

CUET 2025 Percentile Calculator

CUET percentile is calculated separately for each session. The CUET raw score is converted into a percentile by the following method.

Let the total candidates who appeared for the exam be (N)
Filter all candidates in one shift and arrange them in decreasing order based on the score.
The raw score of each candidate is (T).
Count the total candidates whose raw scores are less than or equal to. Take this number as (M)
Then calculate CUET percentile score as P= M*100/N

CUET Marks Vs Percentile Normalisation Process

The CUET UG 2025 uses a normalisation process as the exam was conducted in computer-based test mode. The normalisation process applies to the subjects held in multiple sessions. Since the question paper and subjects differ in different shifts, the difficulty level may vary. For some candidates, the question paper may be relatively tougher, while for some it may be an easy one.

Those who attempted the comparatively tough paper are likely to get less marks as compared to those who attempt the easy one.

The normalisation process ensures that all candidates get an equal chance of admission to a college, regardless of the session or shift of the exam. One needs to know the CUET marking scheme to calculate the score. The CUET raw scores are then normalised by converting to a percentile. The CUET percentile is a measure of how the candidate’s score compares to the scores of other candidates who appeared for the entrance exam.
