HP CET 2027 Cutoff
Updated on 18 October 2026 · Compiled from official Himachal Pradesh Technical University notices
We did not find official HPCET closing ranks that we could verify, so none are printed.
Using cutoff data
Closing ranks differ by institute, branch, category and round. Government colleges such as Kangra, Rampur and Sundernagar generally close earlier than private colleges. Official allotment lists on himtu.ac.in show the real last ranks.
Because half the seats go to JEE Main scorers, compare your rank only inside the correct route.
Where to find real data
- Round-wise seat allotment results on himtu.ac.in.
- Seat matrix from the counselling brochure.
What 2026 reports say
HIMTU released a Round 4 cutoff list in 2026 and a spot round was reported on 12 August, which means seats in several colleges were still open late in the cycle. We have not verified branch-wise closing ranks, so none are printed here.
Reading a closing rank
- Check whether the rank is for the HPCET route or the JEE Main route.
- Compare your category and Himachal domicile status with the row, since many seats are domicile reserved.
- Use the last round list to see which branches were still open, such as in spot rounds.
