500 Marks in CUET 2026
National Testing Agency conducted the Combined University Entrance Test(CUET) 2026 exam from May 11 to June 7. The exam was conducted as a Computer-Based Test(CBT) at the designated exam centres nationwide. There were around 200 participating universities in the CUET 2026 which offered admission to numerous courses through CUET exam.
The NTA conducted the CUET 2026 in 157 subjects. The CUET result and scorecard was released on June 23. The total marks in the CUET depend on the number of subject opted in the exam.
The CUET UG 2026 percentile is calculated subject-wise by NTA, not on total aggregate. Each subject's NTA score is computed separately and then mentioned in the CUET 2026 scorecard. So, when universities prepare merit lists, they consider the subject-wise NTA score — not a combined 500-mark total.
There are around 200 universities offering the courses in Science, Commerce, Arts and other streams. The NTA is a competitive examination and the admission depends on various factors such as the relative performance of other candidates.
CUET UG 2026 Marking Scheme
CUET UG 2026 consists of domain-specific subjects, languages, and a General Test. Each subject paper carries a maximum of 200 marks. The candidates gets 5 marks for each correct answer and 1 mark is deducted for each incorrect answer.
500 marks in CUET UG 2026 is calculated based on the subjects you appeared for, not a single paper. If you appeared for two domain subjects and the General Test (3 papers × 200 = 600 max), scoring 500 puts you at around 83% of the maximum possible score — which is a competitive position.
