JNU CUET Cut Off depends on factors like the Difficulty level of the CUET exam, seat availability, total number of candidates, NIRF Ranking of the varsity, Category of the candidate, etc.

Q:   How is CUET UG cut off calculated?
A:

  • The difficulty level of the CUET exam
  • Overall performance of the test takers (pass percentage/ score range, etc.)

CUET cut off is based on the percentile of the candidate. To calculate the CUET percentile following formula is applied:
