How to Read Your CUET Scorecard
Direct answer: Your CUET scorecard shows your identity details plus a normalised score and percentile (NTA score) for each subject. The percentile — your relative rank in your session — is the figure universities use. Follow the five steps below to read it correctly and avoid mixing up raw marks with percentile.

Frequently asked questions
What does the CUET scorecard show?
It shows your identity details, the subjects you appeared for, and a normalised score plus percentile (NTA score) for each. The percentile reflects your relative rank in your session and is what universities use for admission.
Is the percentile on my scorecard my final result?
The percentile is your official, normalised result for each subject. Admission, however, is decided by each university using that score through its own process (for DU, CSAS) — so the scorecard is necessary but not sufficient.
