• Admission cut-offs, which vary by college and round, are generally higher and depend on factors like seat availability, category, location, and rank.

Next Steps

1. If you scored below the cut-off, you’re not eligible for counselling.
2. If you scored within or above, wait for your All India Rank on your scorecard and participate in MCC/state counselling.
3. Admission cut-offs will be released after each counselling round—typically much higher for government and top private colleges.
