How is the CUET PG score used for admission?
NTA only holds the test and publishes scores. Each participating university runs its own admission process using CUET PG scores.
- NTA shares scores with the participating universities; you apply to each university separately.
- Delhi University admits PG students through its CSAS (PG) portal.
- For papers held in more than one shift, raw marks are converted to NTA scores by percentile normalisation.
- The 2026 score was valid only for the 2026-27 academic year, so a CUET PG 2027 score is expected to count for 2027-28 only.
