The much-awaited CUET UG 2022 Answer key has been released by the
National Testing Agency (NTA) on September 8, Thursday. The official answer key is downloadable from CUET's and NTA's official websites. Apart from the answer key, the
result will also be announced by mid of September 2022.
The perk of having an answer key is that it allows you to have an idea about your scores. When you know the score, you can predict whether you'll get your desired
university/college or not. According to different news reports, the results will be announced by September 15, 2022.
According to the NTA, 249,000 candidates applied for phase one, 191,000 for phase two, 191,000 for phase 3, 372,000 for phase 4, 201,000 for phase 5 and 286,000 for phase 6 examinations. The CUET UG scorecard will be used by 90 universities, including 44 central and 12 state universities for granting admission to undergraduate degree courses.
CUET UG 2022: Factors that will determine the CUET UG cutoff The CUET UG Cutoff will depend on various factors. Given below is a list of important factors that determines the cutoff.
1. Previous year cut-off: Though cutoffs differ year to year, there are high chances that it would be in a similar range. Hence, the previous year's cutoff can be an indicator of the expected cutoff.
2. Number of Students: If the footfall was high in the exam, the cutoff scores will probably be high and it would be highly competitive to get to the next stage.
3. Available seats - The number of seats defines the competitiveness of the exam. Cutoff scores will be lower if there are many seats.
4. Level of the paper: If the paper was not-challenging or easy to solve, it is highly unlikely that the cutoff score will be low. So, expect a higher cutoff score.
