How to Calculate Your APRCET Score
Your score is simply the number of correct answers, because each question carries one mark and there is no negative marking. Add your Part A and Part B correct answers to get a score out of 140.
| Category | Minimum to qualify for interview | Out of 140 |
|---|---|---|
| OC | 50% | 70 marks |
| BC, SC, ST and PWD | 45% | 63 marks |
If your score crosses the line for your category, you are likely to be called for the interview. See the APRCET result page for what happens next.
