Difficulty level also depends on the demand for the course among the students across the country.

For example- MSc Mathematics course is highly popular among the BSc undergraduates; therefore, the number of applicants for the same will be high, and the cut off of MSc Maths will be high of reputed/High NIRF ranking institutes.

Though good score varies for each stream and colleges, score of 270 out of 300 is considered good enough to get top colleges in CUET PG exam. Students who score 200 to 250 also get colleges of their choice. Students should aim to score at least 200 to get admission in CUET PG exam.

NTA doesn't release cutoff marks for each speciality for CUET PG exam. Cutoff depends upon difficulty level, number of students etc. Students do need to try to score maximum marks out of 300 to increase their chances of admission.

As an IILM University student, the most effective way I found to revise multiple CUET subjects in a short time is to be smart, not exhaustive.

 

First, I focus only on high-weightage and frequently repeated topics from each subject instead of trying to cover everything. That alone saves a lot of time.
