Achieving a high score in CUET PG 2026 is vital for securing a seat in prestigious central and state postgraduate programs. A 'good score' is relative and depends on course popularity, university prestige, and your specific category.

Based on historical trends, the correlation between raw scores (out of 300) and expected percentiles is as follows: Raw marks between 270-300 generally correlate to 99-100 percentile, with lower ranges adjusting accordingly.

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 score, compare your marked responses with the official final answer key. Count your total correct and incorrect attempts and apply the following formula:

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

The scoring structure is strictly applied as follows:

i) Each question carries 4 marks.
ii) Correct response: +4 marks.
iii) Incorrect response: -1 mark.
iv) Unanswered: 0 marks.
v) Candidates must select only one option per question.

vi) In cases of multiple correct keys post-challenge, marks are awarded to those who marked any of the correct options. vii) Questions dropped due to technical errors result in full marks for all candidates, regardless of attempt status.
