CUET UG 2026 Results Declared: 22 Students Score 100 Percentile in Three Subjects
The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced the results of the Common University Entrance Test Undergraduate (CUET UG) for the 2026 admission cycle. Candidates can access and download their scorecards from the official website cuet.nta.nic.in.
According to data released by the agency, 22 candidates secured 100 percentile scores in three subjects, while 180 candidates achieved the feat in two subjects. A total of 3,214 candidates scored 100 percentile in one subject each. Only one candidate achieved a perfect 100 percentile in four out of five subjects opted for.
The CUET UG examination serves as the gateway to undergraduate admissions in central, state, deemed and private universities. This year, over 15 lakh registered candidates participated in the exam.
The NTA stated that the results were prepared based on final answer keys vetted by subject experts and were declared on June 23. The agency highlighted that the result declaration process has been significantly streamlined, with results announced within 16 days of completion of the examination — a reduction of 14 days compared to the previous admission cycle.
Candidates are advised to follow these steps to download their scorecard: Visit the official CUET website, click on the 'CUET UG result' link, log in using application number and password or date of birth, and download the result for future reference.
A total of 49 central universities, including Delhi University, Banaras Hindu University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, Jamia Millia Islamia and the University of Hyderabad, will use CUET UG scores for undergraduate admissions. Several state, private and deemed universities are also participating in the admission process.
The NTA reiterated that it only conducts the examination and declares scores. Admission-related processes, including counselling, merit lists, cut-offs and seat allocation, will be carried out separately by individual universities based on their admission policies and eligibility criteria.
The recorded responses and question papers attempted by candidates were made available on the official website before the declaration of results. Candidates could check the provisional answer key and calculate their marks. They were allowed to challenge the answer key with supporting evidence. After reviewing challenges, NTA released the final answer key. Five marks were awarded for every correct answer, one mark deducted for every incorrect response, and no marks for unanswered questions.
For comparison, in the CUET UG 2025 cycle, results were released in the first week of July. That year, around 13.55 lakh candidates registered, with 17 candidates scoring 100 percentile in three subjects and one candidate in four subjects.
