What Are the Minimum Qualifying Marks in PGAT 2026?
A student must score at least 99 marks out of 300 (33%) in PGAT 2026 to be considered qualified and eligible for the merit list. This threshold applies across all PGAT-I and PGAT-II programmes. Additionally, students must have scored at least 50% marks in their qualifying degree — or 45% if they belong to a reserved category — to meet the basic eligibility criteria.
Students who cross both these bars — the graduation percentage requirement and the 33% PGAT score — are included in the programme-wise merit lists. Admission then depends on merit rank and seat availability in the chosen programme.
| Criterion | General / OBC | SC / ST / PwD |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum marks in graduation | 50% | 45% |
| Minimum qualifying marks in PGAT | 99/300 (33%) | 99/300 (33%) |
