The IPU CET cutoff 2027 will be released by GGSIPU after each round of centralised counselling. For B.Tech, GGSIPU uses the JEE Main All India Rank since 2021. IPU CET no longer applies to B.Tech. For MCA, BCA, BBA, MBA, and Law programmes, the cutoff is based on the IPU CET rank. Since the 2027 cycle has not started yet, you can use previous year closing ranks to plan your preparation now.
IPU CET 2027 is expected in May 2027. B.Tech counselling (JEE Main based) and MCA counselling (IPU CET based) are expected to start in June–July 2027 at ipu.admissions.nic.in.
Here are the key things to know about the IPU CET 2027 cutoff:
- The USICT B.Tech CSE closing rank (JEE Main, Delhi General, Round 1) was 38,638 in 2025 — nearly 23,000 ranks more relaxed than the 15,339 seen in 2022.
- For MCA at top GGSIPU-affiliated colleges, the IPU CET General Delhi closing rank is expected around 800–1,500 for Round 1 in 2027, based on previous counselling patterns.
- The BCA General Delhi Round 1 closing rank was around 4,300–4,600 in 2026 counselling — making it accessible to a wider pool of candidates.
- Outside Delhi candidates compete for a much smaller seat pool than Delhi candidates. Their closing ranks at popular colleges are typically 20,000–25,000 ranks tighter than the Delhi quota closing ranks for B.Tech.
- B.Tech closing ranks at GGSIPU have relaxed every year from 2022 to 2025, as top JEE Main scorers increasingly prefer IITs and NITs.
- GGSIPU usually runs three regular counselling rounds plus a spot round. Closing ranks relax with each successive round.

What is IPU CET Cutoff 2027?
The IPU CET cutoff 2027 is the closing rank of the last candidate to get a seat. This rank is determined by programme, college, and category during GGSIPU counselling. For B.Tech, this closing rank is a JEE Main All India Rank. GGSIPU switched to JEE Main for B.Tech from 2021. For non-engineering programmes, the cutoff uses the IPU CET rank. This covers MCA, BCA, BBA, MBA, B.Ed, and LLB.
Two types of cutoff matter here. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum rank needed to register for GGSIPU counselling. The admission cutoff is the closing rank at which a specific college fills all its seats in a given round. Your target should always be the admission cutoff of your chosen college and programme.

The USICT CSE closing rank relaxed by 23,299 ranks from 2022 to 2025. The sharpest single-year shift came between 2023 and 2024 — a jump of 13,259 ranks. Based on the four-year pattern, the 2027 closing rank is expected around 40,000–48,000 for Delhi General category in Round 1.
Ques. Will the IPU CET 2027 cutoff for B.Tech at USICT be tighter or more relaxed than 2025?
Ans. Based on the 2022–2025 trend, closing ranks have relaxed each year. The Round 1 closing rank rose from 15,339 in 2022 to 38,638 in 2025. That is a relaxation of 23,299 ranks over three years. If this pattern continues, the 2027 cutoff could be around 42,000–48,000. A sudden change in JEE Main candidate preferences could shift this.
Ques. Does IPU CET 2027 use JEE Main for B.Tech admission?
Ans. Yes. GGSIPU switched B.Tech admission to JEE Main from 2021. The IPU CET exam for 2027 will cover MCA, BCA, BBA, MBA, B.Ed, LLB, and other non-engineering programmes. B.Tech candidates must appear in JEE Main 2027 and register for GGSIPU counselling separately.

Factors Affecting IPU CET Cutoff
The IPU CET closing rank changes every year for both B.Tech (JEE Main) and non-engineering (IPU CET rank) programmes. Several factors decide how competitive the 2027 cutoff will be.
- Total JEE Main candidates registering for GGSIPU: More candidates filling GGSIPU choices pushes closing ranks lower (tighter) at popular colleges. Fewer candidates relaxes them.
- Seat intake by college: If GGSIPU adds seats or a new college receives affiliation, demand spreads out and closing ranks loosen. A reduction in seats tightens them.
- Branch popularity: CSE and its AI / ML / Data Science specialisations carry the tightest ranks. Mechanical and Civil branches remain accessible to students with much higher rank numbers.
- Delhi vs. Outside Delhi domicile quota: Delhi domicile candidates fill most of the available seats. Outside Delhi students compete for a much smaller share. Their closing ranks are tighter at popular colleges as a result.
- Number of counselling rounds: Closing ranks loosen between Round 1 and the spot round as candidates withdraw to join other institutions.
- IPU CET 2027 difficulty (for non-engineering programmes): A harder paper reduces high scores across all applicants. This can compress the score-to-rank distribution and affect closing ranks for MCA, BCA, and BBA programmes.
- Growth in total IPU CET applicants: Around 1.5 lakh candidates appeared in IPU CET 2026, up from about 90,000 in 2022. This rising trend tightens closing ranks for non-engineering programmes each year.
IPU CET 2027 B.Tech Cutoff: College-Wise
B.Tech admission at GGSIPU uses JEE Main rank. The table below shows Round 1 closing ranks for top GGSIPU engineering colleges. These are for the CSE branch under the Delhi General (HS) category. The 2025 column has confirmed data. The 2027 column shows expected figures based on the four-year trend.
| College | Programme | 2025 Round 1 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) | Expected 2027 Round 1 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) |
|---|---|---|---|
| USICT – University School of Information and Communication Technology | B.Tech+M.Tech CSE | 38,638 | ~42,000 – 48,000 (Expected) |
| MAIT – Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology | B.Tech CSE | 70,889 | ~74,000 – 82,000 (Expected) |
| MSIT – Maharaja Surajmal Institute of Technology | B.Tech CSE | 96,135 | ~99,000 – 1,08,000 (Expected) |
| BPIT – Bhagwan Parshuram Institute of Technology | B.Tech CSE | 1,42,000 | ~1,46,000 – 1,58,000 (Expected) |
| VIPS – Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies | B.Tech CSE | ~1,80,000 | ~1,85,000 – 2,00,000 (Expected) |
Source: GGSIPU Official Admissions Portal – B.Tech 2025 Round-wise Allotment PDFs
The gap between USICT and BPIT for CSE in 2025 was about 1,03,000 ranks. If your JEE Main rank falls between 40,000 and 1,00,000, target MAIT and MSIT for CSE first. Lower-tier colleges carry more relaxed closing ranks.
IPU CET 2027 B.Tech Cutoff: Branch-Wise
The branch you pick at a GGSIPU college makes a big difference in the closing rank you need. CSE and its specialisations — AI, ML, Data Science — are the most competitive. IT is about 15,000–20,000 ranks more relaxed than CSE at the same college. Core branches like Mechanical and Civil remain accessible to candidates with much higher JEE Main rank numbers.
| Branch | MAIT – 2025 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen, Round 1) | MSIT – 2025 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen, Round 1) |
|---|---|---|
| CSE (Core) | 70,889 | 96,135 |
| CSE – Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning | ~80,000 | ~1,05,000 |
| Information Technology | ~90,000 | ~1,15,000 |
| Electronics and Communication Engineering | ~1,20,000 | ~1,50,000 |
| Electrical Engineering | ~1,80,000 | ~2,20,000 |
| Mechanical Engineering | ~3,00,000 | ~4,00,000 |
If you miss CSE at MAIT in Round 1, try IT at MAIT next. It is a better option than dropping to a lower-ranked college for CSE. ECE at MAIT also remains viable for candidates with a JEE Main rank up to around 1,20,000.
IPU CET MCA Cutoff 2027
MCA is one of the most popular programmes under IPU CET. GGSIPU conducts a separate IPU CET for MCA admissions. The closing rank for MCA is an IPU CET rank — not a JEE Main rank. The 2027 MCA cutoff will be released after counselling ends in July–August 2027. Use the previous year data below to estimate your chances.
| Year | College | General – Delhi | OBC – Delhi | SC – Delhi | Outside Delhi (Gen) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | USICT / Top GGSIPU College | ~800 – 1,200 | ~1,800 – 2,500 | ~3,000 – 4,000 | ~500 – 900 |
| 2025 | USICT / Top GGSIPU College | ~900 – 1,300 | ~2,000 – 2,700 | ~3,200 – 4,200 | ~600 – 1,000 |
| 2024 | USICT / Top GGSIPU College | ~1,000 – 1,500 | ~2,200 – 3,000 | ~3,500 – 4,500 | ~700 – 1,100 |
| 2023 | USICT / Top GGSIPU College | ~1,100 – 1,600 | ~2,400 – 3,200 | ~3,800 – 4,800 | ~800 – 1,200 |
| 2022 | USICT / Top GGSIPU College | ~1,200 – 1,800 | ~2,600 – 3,500 | ~4,000 – 5,000 | ~900 – 1,400 |
The MCA General Delhi closing rank at top GGSIPU colleges tightened by about 400 ranks from 2022 to 2026. It moved from the ~1,200–1,800 range down to the ~800–1,200 range. This reflects the growing IPU CET candidate pool. The 2027 MCA cutoff is expected to tighten further by about 50–100 ranks.
Outside Delhi candidates need a tighter IPU CET rank for MCA. They compete for a smaller share of seats. Their Round 1 closing rank is typically 300–400 ranks lower than the Delhi General closing rank.
Ques. What IPU CET rank is needed for MCA at top GGSIPU colleges in 2027?
Ans. A General Delhi rank below 1,200 gives you a strong chance at top GGSIPU colleges for MCA in Round 1. This is based on 2026 counselling data. Outside Delhi candidates need a rank below around 900. The 2027 cutoff is expected to be slightly tighter — target a rank below 1,000 to be safe.
IPU CET Previous Year Cutoff Trends
Four years of official GGSIPU allotment data shows a consistent trend for B.Tech (JEE Main based). The table below compares Round 1 closing ranks at the top four engineering colleges under the Delhi General (HS) category.
| College | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USICT (B.Tech+M.Tech CSE) | 15,339 | 17,943 | 31,202 | 38,638 |
| MAIT (B.Tech CSE) | ~40,000 | ~52,000 | ~62,000 | 70,889 |
| MSIT (B.Tech CSE) | ~62,000 | ~76,000 | ~87,000 | 96,135 |
| BPIT (B.Tech CSE) | ~90,000 | ~1,10,000 | ~1,28,000 | 1,42,000 |
Source: GGSIPU Official Admissions Portal – B.Tech 2022–2025 Round-wise Allotment PDFs
USICT CSE relaxed by 23,299 ranks between 2022 and 2025. MAIT CSE relaxed by about 30,000 ranks. BPIT CSE relaxed by about 52,000 ranks across the same period. The primary driver: top JEE Main scorers are choosing IITs and NITs over GGSIPU colleges.
The sharpest single-year jump at USICT came between 2023 and 2024 — a relaxation of 13,259 ranks. From 2024 to 2025, the shift was smaller at 7,436 ranks. This suggests the pace of relaxation may be slowing at the flagship college. For 2027, expect a more moderate shift of 3,000–9,000 ranks compared to 2025 levels.
Ques. Is the GGSIPU B.Tech cutoff getting easier to clear every year?
Ans. Yes, by the numbers. Closing ranks at all major GGSIPU colleges have relaxed from 2022 to 2025. Students with progressively higher JEE Main rank numbers have been securing seats each year. However, this can reverse if seat intake drops, a college gains major new recognition, or student preferences shift back. Track official data each year rather than relying only on the historical trend.
IPU CET 2027 Cutoff: Category-Wise
GGSIPU follows central government reservation norms. Each category has its own seat pool and closing rank. The table below shows approximate category-wise closing ranks at MAIT for B.Tech CSE in Round 1. These are based on 2025 counselling trends.
| Category | MAIT CSE – 2025 Round 1 Closing Rank (Approx.) | Expected 2027 Round 1 Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|
| General – Delhi (HS) | 70,889 | ~74,000 – 82,000 (Expected) |
| General – Outside Delhi (OS) | ~48,000 – 55,000 | ~50,000 – 58,000 (Expected) |
| OBC – Delhi | ~1,20,000 | ~1,23,000 – 1,30,000 (Expected) |
| SC – Delhi | ~2,00,000 | ~2,05,000 – 2,15,000 (Expected) |
| ST – Delhi | ~3,00,000 | ~3,05,000 – 3,15,000 (Expected) |
| EWS – Delhi | ~1,00,000 | ~1,03,000 – 1,10,000 (Expected) |
| Defence / Ex-Servicemen – Delhi | ~2,50,000 | ~2,55,000 – 2,65,000 (Expected) |
The Outside Delhi General closing rank is about 15,000–22,000 ranks tighter than the Delhi quota closing rank at MAIT CSE. Outside Delhi candidates compete for a smaller share of total seats — that drives this gap.
IPU CET 2027 Round-Wise Expected Cutoff
GGSIPU runs three regular counselling rounds plus a spot round for B.Tech. Closing ranks loosen with each round as candidates withdraw to join other colleges. The table below shows the expected round-wise pattern at MAIT CSE for 2027. It is based on the 2025 round-wise trend.
| Round | MAIT CSE – 2025 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) | MAIT CSE – Expected 2027 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 70,889 | ~74,000 – 82,000 (Expected) |
| Round 2 | ~80,000 | ~83,000 – 92,000 (Expected) |
| Round 3 | ~88,000 | ~92,000 – 1,00,000 (Expected) |
| Spot Round | ~95,000 | ~99,000 – 1,08,000 (Expected) |
From Round 1 to the spot round, the MAIT CSE closing rank relaxed by about 24,000 ranks in 2025. If a similar pattern holds in 2027, candidates with ranks around 1,00,000 may secure MAIT CSE in the spot round. Check the GGSIPU admissions portal after each round for confirmed closing rank data.
IPU CET 2027: Other Programmes (BCA, BBA, MBA)
For non-engineering programmes, GGSIPU uses the IPU CET rank. B.Tech Biotechnology and B.Tech Lateral Entry also use IPU CET. The table below shows Round 1 closing ranks for popular IPU CET-based programmes based on 2026 data.
| Programme | Top College | 2026 Round 1 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) | Expected 2027 Round 1 Closing Rank (Delhi Gen) |
|---|---|---|---|
| BCA | GGSIPU Campus | ~4,300 – 4,600 | ~4,000 – 4,500 (Expected) |
| BBA | MAIMS | ~550 – 600 | ~500 – 580 (Expected) |
| BBA | VIPS | ~700 | ~650 – 730 (Expected) |
| MBA | Top GGSIPU College | ~400 – 800 | ~380 – 780 (Expected) |
| B.Tech Lateral Entry | USICT / MAIT | ~7 – 1,054 (all categories) | To be announced after result |
BBA at MAIMS and VIPS has the tightest cutoffs in the management stream under GGSIPU. Only candidates ranked within the top 600–700 in IPU CET can secure these seats in Round 1. BCA is more accessible — Round 1 closing ranks are around 4,300–4,600 for Delhi General candidates.

Ques. What is the difference between qualifying cutoff and admission cutoff at GGSIPU?
Ans. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum JEE Main rank needed to register for GGSIPU counselling. For non-engineering programmes, it is the minimum IPU CET rank. The admission cutoff is the closing rank at which a specific college fills all its seats in a given round. Meeting the qualifying cutoff gets you into counselling. You still need to match the admission cutoff of your target college to get a seat.
Ques. What JEE Main rank is needed for MAIT CSE in 2027?
Ans. The MAIT CSE Round 1 closing rank was 70,889 for Delhi General in 2025. Based on the four-year relaxing trend, the 2027 Round 1 closing rank is expected around 74,000–82,000. The spot round may go up to around 99,000–1,08,000 for Delhi General candidates.
Ques. What is the expected BCA cutoff in IPU CET 2027?
Ans. The BCA General Delhi Round 1 closing rank was around 4,300–4,600 in 2026. For 2027, it is expected around 4,000–4,500. Later rounds carry more relaxed closing ranks. Outside Delhi candidates need a tighter IPU CET rank due to the smaller seat quota.
Ques. How many rounds of counselling does GGSIPU conduct in 2027?
Ans. GGSIPU usually conducts three regular counselling rounds plus a spot round for stray vacancies. Closing ranks loosen from Round 1 to the spot round as candidates withdraw. The spot round carries the most relaxed closing ranks of the entire cycle.
Ques. How do I download the official round-wise cutoff PDF from GGSIPU?
Ans. Visit ipu.admissions.nic.in and go to the B.Tech Counselling 2027 section — or the relevant MCA / BCA / BBA section. Click on the Seat Allotment link for your round and download the PDF.
