Achieving a high score in the CUET PG 2026 is vital for securing a seat at India's premier central and participating universities. A "good score" is subjective and fluctuates based on course competitiveness, institutional prestige, and your reservation category.

Based on historical trends, the relationship between raw scores (out of 300) and percentile ranks is estimated as follows: 270-300 (99-100 percentile), 240-269 (95-98 percentile), 210-239 (90-94 percentile), 180-209 (85-89 percentile), and 150-179 (75-84 percentile).

Raw Marks       Expected Percentile
270 – 300           99 – 100
240 – 269           95 – 98
210 – 239           90 – 94
180 – 209           85 – 89
150 – 179           75 – 84

Calculate your marks by comparing your recorded responses against the official final answer key. Once tallied, use the following formula:

Total score = (Number of Correct Answers x 4) - (Number of Incorrect Answers x 1)
Example Calculation:
If you have 40 correct answers and 15 incorrect:
Total score: (40 x 4) - (15 x 1) = 160 - 15 = 145.
