The CUET UG 2025 results are out, and while many students are celebrating, others are left wondering, “Can I get admission with a low CUET score?” The good news is — yes, you absolutely can! Don’t let a low score decide your academic future. Here’s a guide on what to do next if your marks didn’t meet expectations.
📉 What Is Considered a Low Score in CUET UG?
While there’s no official definition, a score below 400 is generally considered on the lower side. But don’t worry — many universities and colleges still offer opportunities at this range.
🏛️ Colleges That Accept Low CUET Scores
Several universities are known for providing admissions even with moderate or low CUET scores:
- State Universities in UP, Bihar, MP, and other regions like Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Avadh University (Ayodhya), Veer Bahadur Singh Purvanchal University (Jaunpur), and Gorakhpur University
- Central Universities with vacant seats in less competitive courses like Tezpur University (Assam), Manipur University, and Puducherry University
- Private Universities (e.g., Galgotias, Sharda, LPU)
- Open Universities like IGNOU (don’t require CUET score)
Some institutions like Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University (BBAU), Lucknow are reopening UG admissions without CUET due to low registration.
🧭 What Should You Do Now?
- Don’t Panic – A low score is not the end.
