COMEDK Good Score
A good score in COMEDK UGET 2026 means marks that give you realistic admission chances in your preferred college and branch. COMEDK UGET is out of 180 marks (Physics 60, Chemistry 60, Mathematics 60) with no negative marking.
- A score above 150 is considered an excellent score. Candidates scoring 150+ can expect a rank within the top 1,000
- A score of 120-149 is considered a good score. Candidates can expect a rank between 1,000 and 6,000
- A score below 65-70 makes admission to top-tier private colleges difficult. Mid and lower-tier colleges are the main options
| Score Range (Out of 180) | Admission Possibility | Suitable For |
|---|---|---|
| 150 - 180 | Excellent - top 1,000 ranks, high chances in premium colleges | RVCE (CSE, ECE), MSRIT (CSE), BMSCE (CSE) |
| 120 - 149 | Very Good - ranks 1,000 - 6,000, good branches at Tier-1 and Tier-2 colleges | MSRIT (ECE, ISE), BMSCE (ECE), DSCE (CSE), NMIT |
| 90 - 119 | Good - ranks 6,000 - 15,000, mid-tier colleges with popular branches | RNS Institute, Nitte Meenakshi, CMR Institute |

| Below 60 | Low - rank 25,000 and beyond, very limited options | Supplementary round / lower-tier private colleges |
Ques. Is 120 a Good Score in COMEDK UGET 2026?
Ans. Yes, 120 marks in COMEDK UGET 2026 is a good score. Based on past trends, a score of 120 corresponds to a rank of around 3,000 - 4,500. This rank gives you access to CSE in good Tier-2 colleges like DSCE and NMIT, and ECE at BMSCE or MSRIT. For CSE at RVCE or MSRIT, you need a score of 150+ to stay in the safe zone.
COMEDK Marks Vs Rank
The paper has 180 questions (60 per subject) with 1 mark each and no negative marking. Higher marks give a significantly better rank due to the large number of candidates competing for limited seats.
- In 2025, around 1.3 lakh candidates appeared for 20,000 seats - a ratio of about 6.5 candidates per seat
- A difference of 5-10 marks can shift your rank by several thousand positions in the mid-score range
- CSE and AI-related branches at top colleges fill up by Round 1 itself, so a high rank matters greatly for these choices
| COMEDK Marks (Out of 180) | Expected Rank Range |
|---|---|
| 170 - 180 | 1 - 10 |
| 150 - 169 | 11 - 1,000 |
| 125 - 149 | 1,000 - 6,000 |
| 100 - 124 | 6,000 - 15,000 |
| 80 - 99 | 15,000 - 25,000 |
| 60 - 79 | 25,000 - 35,000 |
| Below 60 | 35,000 and beyond |
What Is the Expected COMEDK UGET 2026 Cutoff?
