Most Awaited Results, CUET UG, 2022 is out

GUWAHATI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the results of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) UG 2022 results on Friday.

Earlier the UGC chairman had said the results would be released around 10 PM but the results were delayed and later uploaded at 3.45 AM. Students can now check their CUET UG results on the official website cuet.samarth.ac.in. Apart from this, students can also check their scores on ntaresults.nic.in and nta.ac.in.

Moreover, the performance of every candidate has been evaluated using the equi-percentile method wherein normalized marks of each candidate have been calculated using the percentiles of each group of students in a given session across multiple days for the same subject, the NTA said.

Over 12 lakh candidates were eagerly awaiting the CUET 2022 results. A total of 19,865 candidates scored 100 percentile across 30 subjects in the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate (CUET-UG) 2022. English had the highest number of 100 percentiles at 8,236, followed by Political Science (2,065) and Business Studies (1,669).

The rank lists have been prepared using normalized NTA scores, as said by UGC Chairman. The merit lists will be generated by participating colleges, who will make individual counseling decisions based on their CUET-UG score card.

The results were supposed to be released yesterday, however, it was delayed. "It is a huge database given a large number of papers and subject combinations. The candidates have applied for 54,555 unique combinations of subjects. The results should be up by around 2 am," a senior National Testing Agency (NTA) official said late Thursday night.

The debut edition of the CUET-UG exam began in July and concluded on August 30. Sixty percent attendance was recorded in the exam. According to the initial plan, all phases of the CUET-UG were scheduled to conclude on August 20. However, the exam was further deferred and split into six phases to accommodate students whose exam was rescheduled due to several glitches that marred the test.

CUET is the common gateway for undergraduate admissions to all central universities. From technical glitches to a last-minute change in the exam centres and uninformed changes in exam dates to admit cards mentioning past dates, the students have many of these issues.

With 14.9 lakh registrations, the CUET is now the second biggest entrance exam in the country, surpassing JEE-Main's average registration of nine lakh. NEET-UG is the biggest entrance test in India with an average of 18 lakh registrations.

Meanwhile, the answer key for Phase 1 to Phase 6 was released on September 8 and students were allowed to raise objections till September 10. Earlier on 11 September, NTA conducted CUET UG 2022 re-test at various examination centres across the country. The decision to conduct a retest has been taken based on the grievances of some students on their experience in CUET (UG) – 2022, as per the notice.
