Answer Key Issues and Result Delay
CUET 3rd edition is facing many issues. The answer keys of many subjects are wrong, resulting in a delay in results. This has led to a chaotic situation for students eagerly awaiting their final scores.
CUET 2024 Answer Key: Result Date and Normalization
Transparency and Recognition Issues
The previous system had some flaws but had transparency and recognition. The old system had clarity on admission chances based on scores. But in the new CUET system, transparency is missing and recognition of CBSE marks is reduced. This lack of transparency and proper recognition has been a major drawback in the new system.
Proper Research and Implementation Required
Proper Research and planning were not done before implementing the new CUET system. Instead of replacing CBSE marks completely, a system to rationalize and modify them should have been created. This would have retained the good of the old system and addressed its flaws. The hasty implementation of a completely new examination system without adequate research has led to the current issues.

Normalization and Fairness
Normalization will be key this year to correct the mistakes and mismanagement during exams. It will adjust scores fairly considering the exam sets and issues raised by students. Historically normalization has given huge score increases and has levelled the playing field for all candidates.
Admission Preparation and Flexibility
With the delays in the result announcement, students should use this time to prepare their college preference lists. Key factors to consider are curriculum, faculty qualifications, international exposure, and industry connections. Flexibility in the admission process like considering 12th marks for admission wherever required can help to some extent in current issues.
Advice for Students and Authorities
Students should keep themselves updated with official announcements and follow instructions carefully. They should report any issues to authorities to improve the process for the future. Authorities should have a single well-researched exam system to avoid confusion and delay.
In short, CUET needs to be improved. Research, transparency, and flexibility in the admission process are a must to make it fair and smooth. Students be prepared for the changes to come while authorities work on the current issues.
