What is Too Low a Score for CUET to Get Into A Decent College?
Scoring above 90% on the CUET examination can ensure students get into some of the best colleges and most-in-demand courses that are available through the CUET UG examination.
Scoring marks between the range of 400 to 600 can ensure students have a minimum 70% score on the exam. This may not be the best range of score to have achieved and options can be limited, but regardless there is plenty of scope for students to get into decent and well-respected colleges at this range. Students may have the opportunity to get into some relatively lesser known courses at slightly less esteemed universities or DU’s with such a score.
However, below a 400 score is where students can consider their marks and percentages to be ‘too low’. This is where a majority of the top colleges and courses start to become difficult to get into. At around the 400-score mark, students can be considered ‘just pass’ and it can be difficult to get into decent courses and colleges.
