    What is a Good Score in UCEED 2026 Part A?

    The total marks in UCEED 2026 part a was 200. Past UCEED cutoff trends and the UCEED exam analysis indicate that a good score in UCEED part a is expected to be around 80+ marks out of 200 for the general category to clear the qualifying cut-off. However, a score of 95+ marks in part A will place the candidate in a much safer zone to obtain an IIT B.Des seat.
