The Delhi University (DU) on Friday said it will consider the subject-based normalised Common University Entrance Test (CUET) scores for admission to undergraduate (UG) programmes for the academic session 2022-23. Meanwhile, the National Testing Agency (NTA) said that at least 12 candidates have scored 100 percentile normalised score in all five subjects in CUET-UG while 104 got the perfect score in four subjects.
As per the NTA, a total of 21,159 candidates have scored 100 percentile in at least one subject. The top scorers include 12,799 female candidates and 8,360 male students. While English has the highest number of 100 percentile scorers (8,236 candidates) Political Science is on number two (2,065) followed by Business Studies (1669). Other subjects which have witnessed over 1,000 candidates with 100 percentile are Biology, Economics and Psychology, meaning the cutoffs for college admissions in these subjects are likely to be high.
“The merit lists will be prepared by participating universities, who will decide about their individual counselling on the basis of the CUET-UG score card,” Sadhana Prashar, Director (exams) NTA said in a statement.
