TISS CUET PG 2026: How Scores Are Used for Admission?
- TISS does not use raw CUET PG marks for merit list preparation. Candidates appear for different CUET PG subject papers such as Economics, Sociology, Political Science, and History, and the difficulty level varies across subjects.
- To ensure fair comparison, TISS uses a percentile-based method: instead of comparing raw scores, it measures how well a candidate performed relative to others who appeared for the same subject paper.
- This relative performance is then converted into a common normalised score. If a candidate has appeared in multiple CUET PG subject papers, the best-performing score is considered for the merit list.
Key points:
- Admission is based on CUET PG 2026 score with 100% weightage
- No separate TISS entrance exam is conducted for regular PG admissions
- No GD, Extempore, or Personal Interview
- Best score across multiple subject papers is considered
