Previous Year AAU VET OBC Category Cutoff
The table below captures the OBC category cutoff marks for AAU VET from 2022 to 2025 based on available admission data and reported trends. The OBC cutoff has shown a gradual upward movement year-on-year, reflecting rising competition for limited veterinary seats in Assam.
| Year | OBC Cutoff (out of 100) | General Cutoff (out of 100) | Approx. Gap (General minus OBC) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 50–55 (based on trends) | 60–65 | ~10 marks |
| 2024 | 48–53 | 58–63 | ~10 marks |
| 2023 | 46–50 | 55–60 | ~9–10 marks |
| 2022 | 44–48 | 53–57 | ~9 marks |
All figures above are based on previous year trends and unofficial sources. The confirmed cut-offs are published by AAU on its official website post-result. Based on the upward pattern, the AAU VET 2026 OBC cutoff is expected to be around 48–56 marks out of 100.
Category-wise Cutoff Comparison (2026 Expected)
AAU VET seat allotment follows Assam state reservation policy. Cutoffs differ significantly across categories. The table below shows the expected category-wise cutoff for AAU VET 2026, derived from 2023–2025 trends.
| Category | Expected Cutoff 2026 (out of 100) | Approx. Cutoff 2025 (Trend-based) |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 60–65 | 60–65 |
| OBC | 48–56 | 50–55 |
| SC | 37–44 | 36–43 |
| ST (Plains) | 30–37 | 29–36 |
| ST (Hills) | 25–32 | 24–31 |
These are expected figures based on 2022–2025 trends and should be used for planning purposes only. If you are an OBC student scoring above 56 marks, your chances of qualifying are strong, and a score above 65 may place you in General merit, potentially freeing up an OBC seat for another student.
Factors Affecting AAU VET 2026 OBC Cutoff
Several variables influence where the OBC cutoff finally lands. Knowing these helps you read your score in the right context and avoid over- or under-estimating your chances.
- Total OBC applicants: A surge in OBC student registrations increases competition and pushes the cutoff upward.
- Exam difficulty level: A tougher paper depresses raw scores across all students, which typically pulls the cutoff down by a few marks.
- Number of OBC seats: If the intake increases for 2026, the cutoff may ease slightly; a reduction in seats would have the opposite effect.
- Marking scheme changes: Any revision to total marks, question count, or introduction of negative marking directly shifts the score distribution and cutoff.
- Year-on-year score inflation: Better coaching access and increased awareness of the exam format have pushed average scores up steadily since 2022, contributing to the rising cutoff trend.
- Inter-category migration: High-scoring OBC students counted under the General merit list free up reserved OBC seats, which can lower the effective OBC cutoff in some years.
How AAU VET Cutoff is Determined
After the AAU VET exam, the university evaluates OMR sheets and prepares a category-wise merit list ranked by raw score. The cutoff is the minimum score of the last student admitted in each category — not a pre-fixed number. This means the cutoff shifts every year depending on the applicant pool and seat availability.
The 100-mark exam covers Physics, Chemistry, and Biology with one mark per correct answer. Once scores are compiled, students are ranked separately for each category. Those who clear the cutoff for their category are called for counselling and document verification at AAU, Khanapara, Guwahati. Final seat allotment depends on your merit rank within the category and your college preference submitted during counselling.
OBC students must carry a valid OBC certificate issued by the competent authority in Assam to claim a reserved seat. Without it, your claim to the OBC category is not considered during counselling.
| Step | Process |
|---|---|
| 1 | AAU VET 2026 exam is conducted and OMR sheets are evaluated |
| 2 | Category-wise merit lists are prepared based on raw scores |
| 3 | Result and cutoff are published on aau.ac.in (expected around June 29, 2026) |
| 4 | Shortlisted students are called for document verification and counselling |
| 5 | Seats are allotted based on merit rank, category, and preference order |
