FAQ
Is there negative marking in CUET?
Yes. Each wrong answer deducts one mark; a correct answer earns five.
How many subjects can I take?
Up to five, counting languages, domain subjects and the General Aptitude Test.
Will universities see my raw marks?
For multi-shift papers NTA converts raw marks into an NTA score so that shifts can be compared; universities use these scores for their merit lists.
