The result of the exam has been released and candidates must be curious to know the CUET passing marks. Many aspirants worry about CUET qualifying marks, category-wise cutoffs, and the minimum marks required in each subject to get admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CUET 2025 passing marks are not fixed as universities decide their cutoffs. However, for General Category students, a score of 450+ is considered safe for DU, while OBC, SC, and ST candidates may need lower CUET passing marks. Approximately 240+ universities will release their own cutoff and qualifying marks as per the courses offered by them. Students must stay updated on CUET 2025 qualifying marks, total marks, and subject-wise cutoffs to improve their chances of admission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a

Passing Marks?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CUET passing marks are the minimum scores required to qualify for university admission through the CUET exam. Unlike board exams, CUET does not have a fixed passing mark. Instead, each university sets its own CUET qualifying marks based on exam difficulty, category reservations, and available seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For General category students, a score of 450+ is usually needed for top universities like Delhi University (DU). OBC candidates may require around 400+, while SC\/ST candidates often have lower cutoff scores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since CUET total marks vary by subject, students should aim for a high score in each section to increase their chances of meeting university-specific cutoffs. CUET 2025 passing marks will depend on competition and admission trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cuet-passing-marks-2025-classification-of-marks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CUET_Passing_Marks_2025-_Classification_of_Marks\"><\/span><strong>CUET Passing Marks 2025- Classification of Marks<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CUET passing marks help determine a student&#8217;s eligibility for admission to Delhi University (DU), JNU, BHU, and other top universities. Since there are no fixed CUET exam passing marks, universities decide CUET qualifying marks based on CUET total marks, category-based cutoffs, and percentile rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A very good CUET score increases the chances of getting into highly competitive courses, while a good CUET score improves admission prospects in reputed programs. An average CUET score may be sufficient for some universities, but a low CUET score can limit options. Below is a classification of CUET 2025 passing marks and percentiles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td colspan=\"2\"><strong>CUET Passing Marks Classification&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Rating<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Approximate CUET Score<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Very good score in CUET<\/strong><\/td><td>700 and above (98-99 Percentile)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Good score in CUET<\/strong><\/td><td>550-650 (90+ Percentile)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Average score in CUET<\/strong><\/td><td>400-550 (80+ Percentile)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Low score in CUET<\/strong><\/td><td>Score less than 400&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/CJrwv86dWZg5CIMtCer01l\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-1024x159.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-1024x159.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-300x47.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-768x119.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-1536x238.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-150x23.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-696x108.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM-1068x166.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-03-17-at-11.58.43-AM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-section-wise-cuet-passing-marks-2025-expected\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Section_Wise_CUET_Passing_Marks_2025_Expected\"><\/span><strong>Section Wise CUET Passing Marks 2025 (Expected)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CUET 2025 exam consists of three sections: Language, Domain-Specific Subjects, and General Test.

The percentile ranking also plays a role, so students should aim for 80+ percentile to improve their admission chances.

A safe score for SC students is around 350+, while more in-demand courses may require 500+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universities like DU and JNU set different qualifying marks based on seat availability and CUET total marks. SC students should try to score as high as possible to increase their chances of getting admission into top universities and preferred courses.

For example, Delhi University (DU) publishes a merit list, while BHU provides a course-specific cutoff. Several factors influence the CUET 2025 qualifying marks, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Course and Competition Level:<\/strong> The CUET cutoff varies depending on the number of applicants and available seats. Highly competitive courses tend to have higher passing marks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Exam Difficulty Level:<\/strong> If the CUET question paper is tough, the cutoff may be adjusted accordingly. To ensure fairness across different exam sessions, the CUET normalization process is applied.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reservation Category:<\/strong> Students from reserved categories (SC\/ST\/OBC) generally have a lower CUET cutoff than the General category, as universities follow government-mandated reservation policies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/cuet\"><strong>Enroll for iQuanta CUET Course<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/details\/cuet-crash-course\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-1024x534.jpeg\" alt=\"iQuanta CUET Course\" class=\"wp-image-23348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-1024x534.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-300x157.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-768x401.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-1536x802.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-150x78.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-696x363.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-1068x557.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1-805x420.jpeg 805w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2023-10-10-at-11.56.55-AM-1.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cuet-passing-marks-faqs\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CUET_Passing_Marks_FAQs\"><\/span><strong>CUET Passing Marks FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1742449029656\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Is Class 12 Marks Important for CUET?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Class 12 marks are required for CUET eligibility as candidates must pass 10+2.
