CUET UG Results 2023: Know marking scheme, how to calculate percentile

NEW DELHI: The National Testing Agency (NTA) will announce the result of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET 2023) for undergraduate (UG) courses soon. Over 14 lakh candidates who appeared for the second-edition of CUET UG 2023 entrance examination can check their result on the official website cuet.samarth.ac.in.

The CUET UG 2023 was held between May 21 and May 31 for admission to various UG programmes offered by central universities, state universities and other participating institutes.

The NTA had recently released the revised answer key on July 3 after several students claimed that several answers were incorrect in the provisional answer key. In this regard, the UGC chairman Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar had said this can be due to “typographical errors”. It was after the students alleged that the NTA was “robbing” them by charging Rs 200 per question challenged that the testing agency published a revised answer key.
