The debut edition of CUET-UG, a gateway for undergraduate admissions, began in July and concluded on August 30. The exam had recorded 60 per cent attendance. The CUET-UG examination is meant for admission to undergraduate courses of Central Universities for the academic year 2022-23. The CUET was introduced to provide candidates, especially those from rural and other remote areas, an equal opportunity and to help establish a better connect with the Universities. This single examination platform enables candidates to cover a wide outreach and be part of the admissions process to various Central Universities and other participating Universities.
The examination was conducted in six phases at 489 centres in 259 cities across India and nine cities outside India.
According to Parashar, the "equi-percentile method" was used to evaluate candidates' performance. Under this method, percentiles of each group of students in a given session across multiple days for the same subject were used to calculate normalised marks of every candidate.
CUET-UG was conducted for several subjects in different shifts. Since the question papers for any subject in different shifts are different and it is quite possible that despite all the best possible efforts to maintain equivalence among various question papers, the difficulty level of these question papers administered in different sessions may not be the same or similar, she said.
Some candidates might have ended up attempting a relatively tougher set of questions as compared to other sets, she said, adding that candidates who attempted the comparatively tougher examination are likely to get lower marks as compared to those who attempted the easier one.
"The scores of the students across shifts are not directly comparable. Hence, there was a need for normalising the marks across shifts to make them amenable to such comparisons," she added.
