BHU CUET 2026 expected cutoff for B.Sc courses is likely to range from 120 to 178 out of 200, varying by subject and category, based on CUET UG 2024 and 2025 closing marks trends.
Banaras Hindu University (BHU) uses CUET UG scores for admission to its B.Sc Honours programmes. The cutoff is the minimum domain-subject score a student must secure in the relevant CUET paper to earn a seat. With CUET UG 2026 results expected around July 2026, BHU will release its merit list shortly after. Students targeting B.Sc Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Computer Science, Statistics, Zoology, or Botany can use the expected cutoff data below to assess their chances.
- Each CUET UG domain subject paper carries a maximum score of 200 (50 questions × 4 marks each, with −1 for wrong answers).
- B.Sc Computer Science is the most competitive programme at BHU, with a General category expected cutoff of 160–178 out of 200.
- SC and ST category students typically secure seats at cutoffs 25–40 marks lower than the General category closing mark.
- The official BHU cutoff 2026 will be published on the BHU admission portal after results are declared, expected in July 2026.
- All cutoff figures below are expected estimates based on 2024 and 2025 trends and are not confirmed official figures.

BHU CUET 2026 Cutoff Overview
BHU determines B.Sc admission merit using the CUET UG domain subject score in the paper corresponding to the chosen programme. There is no separate BHU entrance test for these courses — your CUET UG score is the sole criterion. The cutoff is the last score at which a seat is allotted in a given round of merit-list processing.

Category-wise cutoffs are expected ranges based on 2024 and 2025 closing marks. Official figures will be released by BHU after the merit list is published.
BHU CUET Previous Year Cutoff for B.Sc Courses (2024–2025)
Tracking previous-year closing marks provides the clearest benchmark for 2026 predictions. The 2025 cutoff for most B.Sc programmes rose marginally above 2024 levels, driven by a larger pool of students applying to BHU through CUET UG.
| Programme | General Cutoff 2025 – Approx. | General Cutoff 2024 – Approx. |
|---|---|---|
| B.Sc Computer Science | 168–178 | 160–172 |
| B.Sc Mathematics | 160–170 | 152–165 |
| B.Sc Physics | 150–165 | 143–160 |
| B.Sc Chemistry | 145–158 | 138–152 |
| B.Sc Statistics | 142–155 | 136–150 |
| B.Sc Zoology | 130–145 | 124–140 |
| B.Sc Botany | 125–140 | 118–136 |

Factors Affecting BHU CUET 2026 B.Sc Cutoff
The closing marks for each programme shift each year based on several variables. Understanding these factors helps you set realistic score targets before results are declared.
- Seat intake — a larger seat matrix lowers the cutoff; seats reserved under PwD and sports quotas reduce general availability.
- Number of applicants — more students applying to BHU for a subject directly pushes the cutoff up.
- CUET UG paper difficulty — an easier domain paper produces higher raw scores across the board, raising the closing mark.
- NTA normalisation — scores are normalised across multiple exam shifts; a well-normalised score set typically produces a tighter cutoff band.
- Number of counselling rounds — BHU may run two or more merit-list rounds; the final round cutoff often drops as unfilled seats are reallocated.
- Programme popularity — Computer Science and Mathematics attract the highest applicant volumes, sustaining the steepest cutoffs year after year.
BHU CUET 2026 B.Sc Cutoff FAQs
Ques. What is the expected BHU CUET 2026 cutoff for B.Sc Computer Science?
Ans. The expected General category cutoff for B.Sc Computer Science at BHU is 160–178 out of 200, based on 2024 and 2025 closing marks. This is consistently the most competitive B.Sc programme at BHU.
Ques. Is the BHU CUET 2026 cutoff score out of 200 or 800?
Ans. The cutoff for B.Sc programmes is based on the CUET UG domain subject score, which is out of 200 (50 questions × 4 marks each). Admission is determined by the score in the specific domain paper that corresponds to your chosen programme.
Ques. How much should I score in CUET UG 2026 to get B.Sc Physics at BHU?
Ans. You should aim for at least 145 out of 200 in the Physics domain paper for the General category. OBC-NCL students should target around 135 or above, and SC students approximately 115 or above, based on 2024 and 2025 trends.
Ques. When will BHU release the official CUET 2026 cutoff for B.Sc courses?
Ans. BHU is expected to publish the official cutoff and merit list after the CUET UG 2026 result is declared, likely in July 2026. Updates will be available on the official NTA portal at cuet.nta.nic.in and BHU’s admission portal.
Ques. Does BHU release a separate cutoff merit list for each B.Sc subject?
Ans. Yes. BHU releases separate merit lists for each B.Sc Honours programme and the cutoff is calculated using the score in the corresponding CUET domain paper. You must check the subject-specific merit list for your chosen programme.
Ques. Is the BHU CUET cutoff the same for all reservation categories?
Ans. No. BHU follows central government reservation norms, so the cutoff is lower for OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, and ST categories. Based on 2024 and 2025 trends, SC and ST cutoffs are typically 25–40 marks below the General category closing mark for each B.Sc programme.
