CUET UG 2027 Result
Updated on 18 October 2026 · Compiled from official National Testing Agency notices
NTA declared the CUET UG 2026 result on 23 June 2026, 16 days after the last scheduled exam day, based on the final answer key.
How the result works
Scorecards are downloaded from the NTA site with the application number and password. Scores are shown per subject as normalised scores and percentiles, not as a single rank. There is no overall CUET rank; each university builds its own merit using the subjects it accepts.
Before the result, NTA shows recorded responses and a provisional answer key, accepts challenges against payment of a fee, and then publishes the final key, which is used for the result.

Percentile and normalisation
Per the bulletin, percentiles are calculated separately for each shift and subject, then mapped to the marks scale so that candidates in easy and hard shifts are comparable. After the 2026 result, some students reported large drops in normalised scores compared with raw marks; this is a claim from candidates and not an NTA statement, so compare with your own raw score only through the official scorecard.
