FAQs

Ques.Reddit Question Source: Reddit Forum

Ans. One IPU CET candidate is asking on the Reddit forum whether the marks they’ve scored are enough to make them eligible for admission in GGSIPU. The candidates are seen discussing that they will have to wait for the counseling round to open, and then only will things be cleared.

Ques. I appeared in IPU CET 2025 with the Delhi quota + OBC category. With a rank around 400-500, can I get top colleges like USICT or MAIT?

Ans. If you are from the Delhi quota and the reserved category, then things might go in your favor. But still, only the official cutoff list can give you exact clarity.

Ques. How much is a good score in the IPU CET exam?

Ans. Honestly, it is hard to say since it all depends on the difficulty level of the exam and on that specific course. Also, whether you are eligible for the Delhi quota or not, and the colleges that you are targeting.

Ques. How many marks or a rank are roughly required to get into a decent college?

Ans. For top colleges, any student would need 300-350+ marks and rank under 1000-1200.

For decent colleges, students require anywhere near 260-300 marks and a 1500-500 rank.

Ques. How many marks do I need to secure to get admission in IP University?

Ans. If you are scoring between 300-350 (rank 500-1500), you have strong chances of getting admission in top-tier colleges. If you have scored below 250, then you might likely get a seat in later rounds or mid-tier colleges.
