How to Calculate Score using COMEDK UGET Answer Key?
COMEDK UGET Score Calculation Formula
For the COMEDK UGET Score Calculations, the authority uses a normalisation method and then uses the percentile formula to get the percentile for each and every candidate.
Example of COMEDK UGET Score Calculation
Suppose:
- Total number of candidates who appeared = 70,000
- Your normalized score = 128 marks
- Number of candidates who scored 128 or below = 66,500
Using the formula: Percentile = 66,500/70,000×100 = 95.0
95 percentile means you performed better than 95% of all candidates who appeared for COMEDK UGET.

COMEDK 2026 Marks vs Rank
After the COMEDK exam, one of the most common questions is: "What rank will I get for my score?" The COMEDK 2026 marks vs rank analysis helps you estimate your expected rank based on your performance.
- A 160+ score typically secures a top 100 rank, making it highly competitive for the best engineering colleges, which will provide CSE and ECE at institutions like RVCE and BMSCE.
- Marks between 140 and 160 are likely to secure a rank between 100 and 500, which still provides excellent access to top-tier institutions and competitive branches.
- Scores of 120-140 typically earn a rank between 500-2,000, securing top branches at premier and mid-tier engineering colleges.
| Marks Range | Expected Rank | Admission Prospect |
|---|---|---|
| 160+ | Top 100 | Elite institutions (RVCE, BMSCE) in premier branches like CSE & ECE. |
| 140 – 160 | 100 – 500 | Excellent access to top-tier colleges and highly competitive branches. |
| 120 – 140 | 500 – 2,000 | Top branches at premier and mid-tier engineering colleges. |
| 70 – 120 | 2,000 – 15,000 | Mid-tier to lower-ranked colleges, depending on the specific score. |
| Below 70 | 15,000+ | Difficult to secure seats in well-regarded or top-rated institutions. |
Note: The above table is based on previous year trends. Actual ranks will be declared with the official COMEDK result on May 29, 2026.
