CUET UG Cut Off 2026
CUET UG Cut Off: the latest information and updates for CUET UG, collected by airGurukul.
CUET UG Cut-off
NTA does not publish any cut-off for CUET UG. NTA only conducts the test and releases scores. Each participating university sets its own cut-off or closing score for each course, college and category, after its admission rounds.
How cut-offs work
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Scores | NTA gives normalised scores for each subject (out of 250 per paper) |
| Merit formula | Each university decides which subject combination counts for each course (for example, one language + three domain subjects, or a language + GAT) |
| Seat allocation | Seats are filled in rounds by merit, category and preferences |
| Closing score | The score of the last admitted candidate becomes that round's cut-off |
Why cut-offs differ
- University and college: Popular colleges have higher closing scores.
- Course: High-demand courses (economics, commerce, computer science, political science) close higher.
- Category: Separate closing scores for UR, OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS and PwBD.
- Paper difficulty and competition: In 2026, 11,64,098 candidates appeared; 3,214 got 100 percentile in at least one subject.
Where to find official cut-offs
Check the admission website of each university after its allocation rounds (for example, the CSAS portal for Delhi University, and the admission pages of BHU, JNU, Jamia Millia Islamia, AMU and others). Unofficial "expected cut-offs" online are only estimates.
Tip: Instead of chasing a single cut-off, apply to several universities and fill many course-college preferences to improve your chances.
