The maximum total marks for the CUET UG 2025 exam is 250. However, the actual total marks you can score depend on the number of subjects you choose during the application process. According to the newly revised CUET exam pattern, candidates can now select up to 5 subjects. However, different universities have different subject combination criteria. So candidates are adviced to check the university-wise eligibility criteria and subject mapping for their desire UG course.
For instance, the subject combination for B.Com at Allahabad University is English or Hindi, Accountancy/Book Keeping, and General Test. Therefore, according to 250 marks per subject, the total maks will be 750.
