Dibrugarh University B.Ed CET 2026 Safe Score: SC, ST, OBC and MOBC

A safe score of 65–68 marks out of 100 is recommended for OBC and MOBC students, 58–63 marks for SC students, and 50–60 marks for ST students in Dibrugarh University B.Ed CET 2026, based on 2024 cutoff trends.

Dibrugarh University B.Ed CET 2026 is scheduled for June 28, 2026. The university prepares a merit list using a composite score of 100 marks — 70 from the written entrance test and 30 from career performance in qualifying examinations. Reserved category students — SC, ST, OBC, and MOBC — compete within their own category seat pool and benefit from lower effective cutoffs compared to the general category threshold of approximately 70–75 marks.

• The total composite score is 100 marks — 70 marks from the CET paper and 30 marks from career performance.
• The 2024 general category cutoff was 68.84 marks (Science) and 70.39 marks (Arts/Commerce) out of 100.
• OBC and MOBC students should target 65–68 marks (Arts/Commerce) or 62–65 marks (Science).
• SC students should aim for 58–63 marks (Arts/Commerce) or 55–60 marks (Science).
• ST students need 55–60 marks (Plains) or 50–55 marks (Hills) as a safe composite score.
• There is no negative marking in the 70-mark CET paper.

What is a Safe Score in DU B.Ed CET?

A safe score is a marks threshold that gives you a strong probability of securing admission to a B.Ed college affiliated with Dibrugarh University. It is set higher than the expected minimum cutoff to account for year-on-year variation in competition and paper difficulty. For reserved categories, the safe score is lower than the general category threshold because each category competes for its own reserved seats and is ranked separately within that pool.

Since the DU B.Ed CET 2026 result is expected shortly after the June 28 exam, knowing your safe score target in advance helps you assess your admission chances as soon as your marks are published. The estimates in this article are based on 2024 actual cutoffs and 2025 trends.

Understanding the exam structure helps you estimate your composite score before the result is declared. Selection is based on two components.

DU B.Ed CET 2026 Safe Score for SC, ST, OBC and MOBC

The table below shows the expected safe score range for each reserved category, stream-wise, based on 2024 cutoff data and trend analysis. All scores are out of the 100-mark composite total. These are expected estimates — actual 2026 cutoffs will be confirmed once the official merit list is released.

Seat reservation at Dibrugarh University B.Ed colleges is structured as follows: OBC/MOBC — 15% of total seats (combined), ST Plains — 10%, ST Hills — 5%, and SC — 7%. OBC and MOBC students share a combined reservation pool. Since each category has its own ranked merit list, your score is judged within your category group — not against the entire applicant pool.

Previous Year Cutoff Trends

The table below shows confirmed 2024 general category cutoffs (out of 100 composite marks) and estimated reserved category ranges. Reserved category cutoffs in 2024 were typically 7–18 marks lower than the general category, based on available trend data. Reserved category figures for 2024 are labelled as expected.

The 2026 cutoff is expected to follow a similar pattern. A rise of 1–3 marks is possible across all categories if the applicant pool grows or the paper is easier than 2024.

How is the DU B.Ed CET Composite Score Calculated?

Your final score for merit ranking has two components:

• Written CET (max 70 marks): Your raw marks from the 70-question OMR paper — 1 mark per correct answer, no penalty for wrong answers.
• Career Performance (max 30 marks): Calculated as 10% of the aggregate marks secured in HSLC, HS, Bachelor’s, and where applicable, Master’s examinations.

Example: A student who scores 45 in the CET and has 72% in HSLC, 68% in HS, and 62% in Bachelor’s receives career performance marks of approximately 7.2 + 6.8 + 6.2 = 20.2 marks, giving a composite of 45 + 20.2 = 65.2 marks — safely within the OBC and MOBC Arts stream threshold. SC, ST, OBC, and MOBC students with 60%+ in their qualifying exams can realistically reach their category safe score with a CET score of around 38–48 out of 70.

Factors Affecting DU B.Ed CET 2026 Cutoff

The cutoff for each category can shift every year based on these variables:

• Total applicants: A larger applicant pool raises competition and pushes cutoffs higher.
• Paper difficulty: A harder CET paper lowers raw scores, which can bring the effective cutoff down slightly.
• Seats available: More B.Ed seats in affiliated colleges ease competition; a reduction raises the bar.
• Career performance distribution: More students with strong academic records push the composite score threshold up.
• Category-wise applicant pool: Each category is ranked separately — a smaller pool within a given category results in a lower cutoff for that group.
