Dear Student,

CUET UG cutoffs for BCA vary by university, as each sets its own based on seats, applicants, and performance. No fixed percentage applies universally.​ General category students usually need 50%+ normalized score (around 300-400 raw marks out of 800 possible), while reserved categories aim for 40%. Could you please let me know your category and college, so I can help you better?

Thank You!
