Good Score in APOLYCET 2026
The competition level for the AP POLYCET exam has been increasing every year. For instance, a student with 101-102 marks scored a rank around 1000 in 2024, while the same marks range (100 - 102) led to a 4700 rank in the 2025 exam. It has been evident that the number of takers for the exam has been increasing every year resulting to higher cutoff marks. Here is the detailed good score analysis.| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Very Good Score | 120 - 115 Marks |
| Good Score | 100 - 110 Marks |
| Decent Score | 85 - 99 Marks |
| Average Score | 60+ marks |
Note:
60+ has been considered as 'Average Marks' because, as per previous years' trends, students scoring 80+ marks scored around 10,000+ rank. Seats in top courses and colleges are usually filled in the 10,000 rank range.
