No Score Normalization

NET & CUET-UG Changes Announced

UGC Chairman M. Jagadesh Kumar reveals no score normalization for NET and CUET-UG this year.

Normalization adjusts scores across different test sessions to ensure fairness.

Exams will be conducted in a single session per subject, eliminating the need for normalization.

Students previously expressed that normalization negatively impacted their scores.

CUET-UG to have both pen-and-paper and online modes; UGC-NET to be pen-and-paper only.

Scheduled from May 15-24 with a mix of pen-and-paper and online tests.

Set for June 16, switching to a pen-and-paper format from computer-based.

Awaiting official update on whether the same changes apply to CSIR UGC NET.

Undergraduates can take UGC NET, qualify for JRF, and join PhD programs, aligned with NEP2020.

The aim is to enhance research opportunities and align with the National Education Policy.

A single-session exam ensures uniformity and fairness across the board.

The change could set a precedent for other exams and influence future testing methods.

Mixed responses from students and educators on the impact of this change.
