CUET UG 2026: Marks vs Percentile

Your raw scores are not the same as your percentile rank. The percentile rank lets you know where you stand relative to all other students. The table below will tell you the percentile that your total score will fall into.

Total raw score of 1100 or above will definitely get you a 99+ percentile. If your total raw score lies between 1000-1090 then your percentile rank will be in the 98-99 category. With a total raw score between 900-999, you will have a 95-98 percentile. And if your score is less than 700, you will have a 75-85 percentile.

Overall Marks vs Percentile (5 Subjects)

Total Score	Expected Percentile
1100+	99+
1000–1090	98–99
900–999	95–98
800–899	90–95
700–799	85–90
600–699	75–85

Subject-Wise Marks vs Percentile

The required percentile will vary depending on the subject as well. For instance, it is expected that you will get a 99+ percentile for English with a score between 220 and 235. The same percentile will require scores between 210 and 225 for Physics and between 220 and 235 for Mathematics.

Subject / Stream	99+ Percentile	95+ Percentile	90+ Percentile	80+ Percentile
English	220–235	190–205	170–185	140–155
