Each question carries four marks. For every correct answer, the candidate will be awarded four marks; for every incorrect answer, one mark will be deducted. Unattempted questions carry no marks. In case a question is found to have more than one correct response, four marks will be awarded if any of the correct options have been selected. On the contrary, if none of the answers is found to be correct or the question is deemed wrong, then all the candidates will be awarded four marks irrespective of the fact whether they attempted or did not attempt the question.

It is important to note that CUET PG counselling is not conducted by the NTA; instead, each participating university organises its own counselling session. Candidates are therefore required to register and apply separately for every university and course they wish to be considered for. The CUET PG 2026 result will be valid only for admissions in the academic year 2026–27.
