Hello. My CUET scores are : Gat-160(99.18 percentile) Eng-188(96 percentile) Do I have a chance to get into the University of Hyderabad? Course - Integrated MA Political science Category - General, female. Also, please clarify - the merit list is prepared based on normalised scores or percentiles?
Yes, you have a reasonable chance , but admission cannot be guaranteed.
The University of Hyderabad prepares merit lists based on applicants' normalised CUET scores (as provided by the National Testing Agency), not solely on percentile. Your high GT percentile (99.18) is a positive factor, but your admission chances will depend on:
- The normalised scores used by UoH.
- The number of applicants for Integrated MA Political Science.
- The scores of other candidates applying for the same course.
- Seat availability and category-wise merit.
Without the official normalised score cutoffs for this admission cycle, it's not possible to predict admission with certainty. However, your scores appear competitive enough that you should definitely participate in the counselling and wait for the merit lists.
Is the merit list based on normalised scores or percentiles?
The merit list is prepared using the normalised CUET scores , not the percentile .
- Normalised score: Used by universities for preparing merit lists.
- Percentile: Indicates your relative performance compared to other test-takers but is generally not used directly to rank candidates for admission.
If the University of Hyderabad specifies a particular subject combination (for example, General Test + English), it will calculate merit according to its published admission criteria using the corresponding normalised scores .
If you can also share your normalised scores for General Test and English (as shown on your CUET scorecard), I can provide a more informed assessment of your chances.
