How we know what we know
Every number here was copied by hand out of a document NTA or a university published, and carries a link back to it. This page explains how that is done, what the build refuses to ship, and how far the coverage actually goes.
Who this is
EduFarming is an independent reference compiled and maintained by one person, MK Sharma, whose name is on every cut-off and college page as "Compiled by". It is not affiliated with the National Testing Agency or with any university. It sells no leads, carries no advertising and takes no money from institutions. Nothing here is predicted, estimated or modelled: if a number is not in a published document, it is not on the site.
The unit is a fact, not a page
The site stores 923 separate facts rather than paragraphs of prose. Each one holds a value, the document it came from, the page it appears on, and the date a person last checked it. Pages are assembled out of those facts, so a value cannot drift away from its citation.
Values that carry a source are underlined. CUET UG is offered in 13 mediums — hover or tap that to see the document, the page and the date it was checked.
CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin, p. 7 · Aug 28, 2026
Every page also lists its sources in full at the foot.
How a programme's paper rule is read
This is what the rest of the site runs on, so it is done by hand from the document itself.
The university's own admission bulletin — or NTA's course-mapping list where that is the only thing published — is downloaded and converted to text with the page numbers kept.
A person reads the requirement and writes it down as a rule: which papers, how many, out of which group, and which alternative combinations the university will accept.
That rule is executable. It is the same rule the paper checker evaluates, so what the checker tells you is what the document says rather than a summary of it.
BHU, for instance, admits to B.Sc. (Honours) Medical Technology (Radiotherapy) on either of two combinations. That is stored and shown as:

A rule naming a paper that does not exist fails the build, so a typo cannot reach a reader disguised as a real requirement.
How a cut-off is transcribed
84,210 closing scores are recorded, one row each, out of 714 university-year publications between 2024 and 2026. A row carries the programme, the constituent college where there is one, the variant exactly as printed, the round, the category, the seat type, the number, and the key of the document it came from with its page. Numbers are copied, never interpolated, and never averaged across colleges.
A missing number means one of three things
A number — the university printed it for that round and category.
Recorded as empty — the university published that round but printed nothing in that cell.
Recorded as not published — the university released no programme-wise cut-off at all that year. 637 university-years are recorded this way, each with a link to where an applicant should look instead.
Universities do not publish on a common scale. Delhi University prints a merit score approaching 1000; BHU prints a normalised score near 400; others publish a rank or a percentile. So the site never compares a score across universities, and the paper checker will only measure your own number against a list once you have narrowed it to a single university.
What “verified” means, and what it does not
It means a person opened that document on that date and the value on this site matched what the document said. The date sits next to the value.
- It does not mean the university has not changed it since. Admission documents are revised mid-season, sometimes without an announcement.
- It does not mean the coverage is complete. The table below says exactly how far it goes.
- It does not mean the number predicts anything. Last year's closing score is a record of what happened, not a forecast of what will.
What the build refuses to publish
These are not promises about how careful we are. They are checks that fail the build, so a page carrying any of them cannot ship at all.
- FailA fact, programme rule or cut-off row with no source URL.
- FailA cut-off row taken from a PDF with no page number.
- FailA value pointing at a fact that does not exist.
- FailA programme rule naming a paper that is not a real CUET subject.
- FailA cut-off row naming a programme that is not in the catalogue, or the same cell recorded twice.
- FailA source URL that no longer responds.
- FailA previous-year paper link that is not hosted on an official site.
- FailAn English page with no Hindi counterpart, or an update still marked as a draft.
The last run checked 923 facts, 6,259 programme rules and 84,210 cut-off rows.
How far this goes
Counted from the data itself when this page was built, not typed into the copy.
| Measure | Count |
|---|---|
| Institutions named in NTA's participating lists | 244 |
| …whose programme rules have been read from a document | 244 |
| Programmes with an executable paper rule | 6,259 |
| …carrying at least one published closing score | 509 |
| Cut-off cells transcribed | 84,210 |
| University-years recorded as publishing no programme-wise cut-off | 637 |
| Facts carrying a citation | 923 |
| CUET papers described | 37 |
| Universities whose official site we verified | 119 |
| …of which the admissions page is verified too | 90 |
The remaining institutions appear here with what NTA publishes about them and nothing more. A short verified list is worth more than a long unverified one.
What is not here
- No admission portal links
- No per-university deadlines
- No fees beyond NTA's own exam fee
- No seat counts
- No placement figures
- No reviews
- No rankings
Those either change faster than one maintainer can keep them true, or have no citable official source. Each university's own site is the place for them.
Corrections
When something here turns out to be wrong, the data is fixed and the correction is logged below in the same change, with what it used to say. Nothing is repaired silently. If a number here disagrees with the document linked beside it, the document is right and we are wrong.
| Date | Page | Was | Now |
|---|---|---|---|
| /privacy | Query strings are stripped from every address before it is recorded. | One word is now kept: the ?src= tag on links we post ourselves (for example ?src=ig), naming which of our channels a visit came from. A browser can also leave all counting with ?count=off. | |
| /practice/general-aptitude-test/revision/how-to-attempt-gat | A guess after ruling out one option is worth about 1.3 marks on average. | It is worth 1 mark on average: 1/3 × 5 − 2/3 × 1 = 1. The arithmetic was wrong; the advice to guess is unchanged. | |
| / | Once you register, NTA allows no subject correction. | The 2026 bulletin says corrections are permitted only in fields NTA notifies later; it does not say subjects are excluded. We now say to choose papers as if they are final. CUET (UG) 2026 Information Bulletin |
About the Hindi pages
Hindi on this site is machine-drafted and reviewed by the maintainer, not by a professional translator. Where the two differ, the English page is the canonical one. The numbers underneath, and their sources, are identical in both.
