Achieving a strong score in CUET PG 2026 is vital for securing seats in premier postgraduate programs. A "good score" is subjective, depending on course competition, university prestige, and your specific category.

Based on historical data and recent trends, the projected correlation between raw scores (out of 300) and percentiles is as follows: 270-300 marks typically yield 99-100 percentile, while 150-179 correlates to 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

To calculate your marks, compare your response sheet with the final answer key provided by NTA. Use the formula below:

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