CUET 2026 : 4 Answered Questions

Ques. My CUET total score is 280 out of 750, so which colleges should I go to?

Scoring 280 out of 750 in CUET will restrict your choices among the highly competitive central universities to some extent. But you have many more opportunities waiting for you at state, private, and part of the central universities—if you are willing to accept a range of courses and destinations. 280 out of 750 is equal to approximately 37%. Top-tier colleges such as DU, BHU, and JNU typically have their cutoffs significantly higher, typically even beyond 600, which makes it impossible to secure admission into their more demanding courses with this marking. But this doesn't leave you with nothing! There are plenty of other decent colleges with lower cutoffs and equally good education. Some Central and State Universities have comparatively lower competition, like the Central University of Haryana, Central University of Karnataka, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya (Sagar), Mahatma Gandhi Central University etc. They can offer admissions in general courses like BA, BSc, or BCom. Private Colleges and Universities The majority of the best private colleges accept CUET scores and offer relaxed cutoffs. Examples are colleges like KCC Institute of Technology & Management and other state board-associated private universities. University Type Likelihood of Admission Courses Likely Available Top Central Universities (DU, BHU, JNU, AMU) Very unlikely None (cutoffs much higher) Mid-/Lower-Tier Central/State Universities Possible General BA, BSc, BCom, etc. Private Universities/Colleges Good Wide range, including vocational Keep visiting the official university websites for the latest CUET cutoffs and admission rules. Applying to more than one university can work in your favor. Get ready to accept alternative campuses and pathways; sometimes the best opportunities can surprise you....Read More

(like Agriculture, Horticulture, Biology, etc.): Subjects like Biology, Agriculture, Chemistry, or Math will be used—whichever is relevant to the course.  – For BA/B.Com or other non-science courses: The university verifies particular subjects needed for that course (listed in their subject mapping). Example:  B.Sc. Horticulture ? CUET score in Biology or Agriculture B.Tech CSE ? CUET score in PCM BA (any subject) ? Depends on the subject you select (like History, Political Science, etc.) Admission Type Eligible After Entry Year Notes Regular BCA 10+2 or Diploma 1st Year Any stream; some colleges require math/CS.

Ques. I got low marks in CUET, but my UG marks and board marks fit the eligibility criteria. Is there any way I can get into NIT?

No, NIT admissions are not based on CUET scores. NITs accept only JEE Main scores for UG courses such as B.Tech. No matter how well you've done in your Class 12th board and have fulfilled the eligibility criteria, CUET is not acceptable for NIT admission. Here’s what you need to know: Criteria NIT Admission Requirement Entrance Exam JEE Main only CUET Score Not accepted Class 12th Marks Minimum 75% or top 20 percentile in respective board If your goal is to get into an NIT, appearing for JEE Main is a must.   If you have performed decent in CUET, you can attempt to get admission to top central universities and other colleges that accept CUET scores for B.Tech or other undergraduate degrees.  – Delhi University (DU)  – Banaras Hindu University (BHU)  – Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University  = Aligarh Muslim University and similar institutions....Read More

For colleges accepting CUET, central and most state universities require a valid CUET score for regular admission and do not offer management quota or direct admission. However, some private universities accepting CUET may allow direct or management-quota admissions based on Class 12 marks or interviews, without CUET.

Cluster Innovation Centre (CIC), Delhi University, is a reasonable option for B.Tech if you want a unique tech-focused program in Information Technology & Mathematical Innovations with DU branding. It teaches IT + math-innovation courses over 4 years based on the CUET ranking. For a good chance of admission, you need high CUET marks (around 533–551 for General). Placements vary, with an average INR 6-8 LPA with some higher offers; many get internships and off-campus jobs.
