As reported after the 2026 result. Some sites list PwD differently, so verify in the notification.
How admission cutoffs work
Colleges do not publish a cutoff mark. Instead APSCHE publishes the opening and closing ranks for each branch, category, gender and region after every counselling phase.
A closing rank is the last rank that got a seat in that branch. Your rank is safe if it is lower than the previous closing rank by some margin, since demand shifts each year.
How to read the allotment data
- Check the rank for your category and region (AU or SVU region and local/non-local).
- Compare across phase 1, phase 2 and the final phase.
- Use the last three years to see the trend, not just one year.
