Cut-offs, 2024–2026
Round by round
Faculty of Social Sciences — Geography with Political Science · UR
| Year | Round 1 | Round 2 | Round 3 | Round 4 | Mop-up 1 | Mop-up 2 | Spot 1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | · | · | · | · | · | · | No list |
| 2025 | 359.81 | 359.81 | 359.81 | 359.81 | No list | No list | · |
| 2026 | 397.7 | 397.7 | 397.7 | 397.7 | No list | No list | · |
2024 had no Spot 1 list. 2025 had no Mop-up 1 or Mop-up 2 list. 2026 had no Mop-up 1 or Mop-up 2 list. A line breaks wherever a round was not published or no seat was allocated in this category; nothing is filled in between. Only general seats are charted; the Paid Fee Course lines are in the full list below.
What moved between 2025 and 2026
Round 1, UR: 496 colleges in both years
Across every round, by category
| Category | Median change | Seats compared | Rose / fell |
|---|---|---|---|
| UR | +22.76 rose | 3014 | 2895 / 119 |
| EWS | +24.75 rose | 1477 | 1416 / 61 |
| OBC-NCL | +23.58 rose | 2493 | 2383 / 110 |
| SC | +29.61 rose | 1693 | 1551 / 142 |
| ST | +43.45 rose | 873 | 770 / 103 |
| PwBD | +24.66 rose | 335 | 229 / 106 |
| BHU-Ward | +3.35 rose | 141 | 72 / 69 |
10026 seats appear in both years' lists and are compared with themselves — same college, same variant, same round, same category. Rounds are never mixed: a later round closes lower everywhere, so mixing them would report a collapse that is only an extra page in the document. Read the figures as movement, not as difficulty: CUET is normalised separately each year, so a category that rose may have met a harder paper rather than harder competition.
One row per college or variant, highest first. Each links to the list it was copied from.
