Expected Rank for 90 Marks in CG PPHT 2026
A score of 90 out of 150 in CG PPHT 2026 is expected to place General category students at a rank between 300 and 600, based on 2025 combined merit list trends.

Category-wise Expected Rank for 90 Marks in CG PPHT 2026
CG PPHT 2026 publishes five separate merit lists: State (overall), OBC, SC, ST, and Female.

SC and ST students scoring 90 marks are likely to compete for government college reserved seats based on 2025 closing rank trends.
| Category | Expected Rank for 90 Marks (Approx.) | Qualifying Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 300 – 600 | 10% (15 marks) |
| OBC | 200 – 400 | 5% (7.5 marks) |
| SC | 150 – 300 | 5% (7.5 marks) |
| ST | 100 – 200 | 5% (7.5 marks) |
All category rank estimates are based on 2025 CG PPHT merit list trends and are subject to change for 2026 depending on overall student performance.
