What is BHU CUET 2026 Cutoff for B.Com (Hons)?
The BHU CUET cutoff for B.Com (Hons) is the minimum CUET UG score a student must secure to qualify for Banaras Hindu University’s B.Com (Hons) merit list. BHU prepares a category-wise merit list using CUET UG 2026 normalised scores and releases the cutoff after NTA declares results.
Students are assessed on their CUET UG scores in relevant domain subjects such as Accountancy, Business Studies, Economics and General Test. The cutoff is the score of the last admitted student in each category once all seats are filled. It shifts every year based on applicant volume, paper difficulty and seat matrix changes.
Note the difference between the NTA qualifying cutoff and the BHU admission cutoff. The qualifying cutoff is the minimum score NTA sets for clearing CUET UG. The admission cutoff is the closing score at which the last B.Com (Hons) seat at BHU is filled. The BHU admission cutoff is always higher.

Factors Affecting BHU CUET 2026 Cutoff for B.Com (Hons)
Several factors will determine the final closing marks for BHU B.Com (Hons) in 2026:
- Total applicant volume: Higher CUET UG 2026 participation increases competition and pushes cutoffs upward.
- Paper difficulty level: An easier CUET UG 2026 paper results in higher raw scores and consequently higher cutoffs.
- NTA score normalisation: CUET UG scores are normalised across sessions; the final normalised score may differ from the raw marks.
- Number of seats: BHU releases a fixed seat matrix for B.Com (Hons). Any seat revision directly affects how competitive the cutoff becomes.
- Reservation norms: Seats follow Government of India reservation norms: OBC-NCL 27%, SC 15%, ST 7.5%, EWS 10%. Each category has a separate closing cutoff.
- Round-wise allotment: Seats vacated after each counselling round can ease the cutoff in later rounds. The first round cutoff is typically the highest.
