What is MDUCEE Cutoff?
The MDUCEE cutoff is the minimum score at which seats are allotted in a course and college during each counselling round. MDU Rohtak releases round-wise closing marks after counselling, and the score of the last admitted student in a round becomes the official cutoff for that round. Scoring above the cutoff for your preferred course and category is essential to secure a seat in counselling.
MDUCEE cutoff varies by course, category, college type and counselling round. Key factors that determine where the cutoff falls:
- Course demand — B.Ed and MCA attract the highest competition; PGDCA and diploma courses see lower cutoffs.
- Category — General, SC, OBC-A, OBC-B, BPL and ESM categories each have a separate closing mark.
- College type — MDU main campus closing scores are higher than government affiliated colleges, which in turn are higher than private affiliated colleges.
- Counselling round — Cutoffs typically drop from Round 1 to later rounds as vacant seats open up.

Factors Affecting MDUCEE Cutoff 2026
Understanding these factors will help you predict where MDUCEE 2026 cutoffs may land before official figures are published:
- Total applicants: Higher registration numbers push closing marks up. If MDUCEE 2026 applications exceed 2025 levels, expect slightly tighter cutoffs.
- Seat intake changes: Additional seats at affiliated colleges reduce competition and can lower cutoffs; a reduction in intake has the opposite effect.
- Exam difficulty: A harder paper reduces the average score and may bring closing marks down for competitive courses.
- Category-wise demand: Low demand in reserved categories such as BPL or ESM can result in seats going unfilled, lowering the effective cutoff in later rounds.
- Number of counselling rounds: More rounds allow lower-ranked students to secure seats, so the final closing mark in Round 3 or 4 is typically lower than Round 1.
