New Delhi: The National Testing Agency has officially declared the highly anticipated results for the Common University Entrance Test-Undergraduate on Tuesday, highlighting stellar academic achievements with 3,214 candidates scoring a perfect 100 percentile in at least one subject. The publication of the results sets the stage for the upcoming undergraduate admission cycle across central, state, and private universities nationwide.
According to the comprehensive performance data released by the testing agency, a solitary candidate recorded the finest performance in the national examination by achieving a 100 percentile in four out of the five opted subjects. Further demonstrating high competitive standards, 22 candidates secured a perfect percentile in three of their selected subjects, while another 180 aspirants achieved the feat across two subjects. The NTA also highlighted that the result declaration process was significantly streamlined this year, with scorecards made available on the official website within 16 days of finishing the examination cycle, a notable two-week reduction compared to the previous academic session.
A statistical breakdown reveals that out of 15,68,867 unique registered candidates, a total of 11,64,098 students ultimately took the computer-based test, which spanned 37 distinct subjects including 13 languages and 23 domain-specific papers. Interestingly, women candidates outnumbered men in examination attendance, with 5,85,596 female test-takers appearing against 5,78,500 male candidates, alongside two participants from the third-gender category. Category-wise statistics showed massive participation from the General category with over 6.8 lakh registrants, followed by 5.28 lakh from the Other Backward Classes, 1.71 lakh from Scheduled Castes, 95,464 from Scheduled Tribes, and 86,749 from the Economically Weaker Section.
The standardized examination concluded its testing schedule between May 11 and May 31, with minor supplementary sessions held on June 6 and 7 to resolve localized disruptions. The final scorecards were compiled after subject matter experts meticulously vetted provisional challenges, resulting in the removal of seven questions due to technical discrepancies. While the NTA has facilitated scorecard downloads, individual participating institutions, including Delhi University and Banaras Hindu University, will manage their respective cut-offs, counselling schedules, and final merit lists independently based on their unique seat allocation criteria.
