Securing a strong rank in the CUET PG 2026 is essential for admission into premier postgraduate programs across India. A "good score" is relative and depends on course competition, university prestige, and your specific category.

Based on historical trends, the correlation between raw scores (out of 300) and percentile ranks is projected as follows: Scores ranging from 270–300 align with 99-100 percentiles, while lower ranges correspond to established statistical trends.

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

Cross-reference your responses with the final official answer key. Calculate your total by accounting for every correct and incorrect answer using the following formula:

Total score = (Number of correct answers × 4) - (Number of incorrect answers × 1)
Example Calculation:
40 correct answers and 15 incorrect: (40 × 4) - (15 × 1) = 160 - 15 = 145.

100 × (Number of candidates in the session with raw scores ≤ yours) / (Total number of candidates who appeared in that session).

Marks are awarded according to the standard NTA marking methodology:

i) Each question is worth 4 marks.
ii) Correct responses earn 4 points each.
iii) Incorrect responses result in a 1-mark deduction.
iv) No points are awarded for unattempted questions.
v) Only one option must be selected per question.

vi) If a question is found to have multiple correct answers, only those who selected any of the correct options receive marks.
vii) If a question is dropped due to technical errors, full marks are awarded to all candidates, regardless of their response.
