CUET UG Safe Marks 

The ‘safe marks’ for the CUET UG exam refer to the marks needed by students to have been considered to have passed the examination. However, there are no clear or fixed ‘passing’ marks for the CUET examination as the overall score for the exam can be different from one student to another. It is also important for students to note that passing marks do not mean a student is safe to get into a good college. 

However, students who score in the range of 600 - 700 marks on the CUET exam have a chance of being considered ‘safe’. These marks ensure students are in the range of getting into some decent and respected colleges in the country as well as ensuring that students have passed the CUET exam.
