UPCATET 2026 Qualifying Criteria and Minimum Pass Marks
To pass UPCATET 2026, students must meet the minimum qualifying marks set by SVPUAT Meerut. These marks differ based on the reservation category. The qualifying threshold is applied to the total score across all exam papers in the relevant programme group.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Percentage | Qualifying Status |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 35% | Rank assigned; eligible for counselling |
| EWS | 35% | Rank assigned; eligible for counselling |
| OBC | 30% | Rank assigned; eligible for counselling |
| SC | 30% | Rank assigned; eligible for counselling |
| ST | 30% | Rank assigned; eligible for counselling |
Scoring the minimum qualifying percentage guarantees a rank but not a seat. Final admission depends on your rank, category, programme group preferences, and seat availability during counselling rounds. Students who score below the qualifying threshold for their category will not receive a merit rank and will be unable to participate in UPCATET 2026 counselling.
UPCATET 2026 Category-Wise Pass Percentage
The official category-wise pass percentage for UPCATET 2026 will be published after the result is declared on June 21, 2026. The table below shows expected pass rates based on 2024 and 2025 data:
| Category | Expected Students Appeared | Expected Pass Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | ~55,000 | 48–55% |
| EWS | ~10,000 | 44–50% |
| OBC | ~65,000 | 46–53% |
| SC | ~28,000 | 35–43% |
| ST | ~3,000 | 30–38% |
General and OBC students historically record higher pass percentages compared to SC and ST students. However, OBC, SC, and ST students benefit from a lower qualifying threshold of 30%, which increases the number of students who receive a merit rank each year. These figures are expected and based on 2024–2025 trends; official category-wise data will be released by SVPUAT Meerut along with the UPCATET 2026 result.
UPCATET 2026 Group-Wise Qualified Students
UPCATET 2026 is conducted across multiple programme groups. Each group covers specific agriculture and allied science programmes, and pass percentage varies by group based on subject difficulty and the size of the applicant pool. Expected group-wise data based on 2025 trends is shown below:
| Group | Programmes Covered | Expected Pass Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | B.Sc Agriculture, B.Tech Agriculture Engineering | 50–58% |
| Group B | B.Sc Horticulture | 46–54% |
| Group C | B.Sc Forestry | 42–50% |
| Group D | B.Sc Home Science | 48–56% |
| Group E | M.Sc Agriculture and Allied Sciences | 38–46% |
| Group F | MBA Agribusiness Management | 40–48% |
Group A records the largest number of qualified students in UPCATET each year, as B.Sc Agriculture is the most sought-after programme in the exam. Postgraduate groups such as Group E and Group F tend to have a lower pass percentage because the syllabus is more advanced and the applicant pool, while smaller, is also more competitive. These group-wise figures are expected and based on previous year trends.
