PTET 2026 Expected Merit Cutoff vs Qualifying Marks
Clearing the minimum qualifying marks does not guarantee a B.Ed seat — the actual merit cutoff at college level is typically much higher than the qualifying threshold. Based on 2025 actual data, expected merit cutoffs for PTET 2026 are projected higher because the qualifying threshold itself rose from 40% in 2025 to 50% in 2026 for General category students.
| Category and Gender | Min. Qualifying Marks 2026 | Actual Cutoff 2025 (Reference) | Expected Merit Cutoff 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| General (Male) | 300 | 349 | 400-460 (expected) |
| General (Female) | 300 | 328 | 390-420 (expected) |
| OBC (Male) | 270 | 338 | 360-380 (expected) |
| OBC (Female) | 270 | 319 | 340-360 (expected) |
| SC (Male) | 270 | 314 | 320-350 (expected) |
| SC (Female) | 270 | 299 | 310-335 (expected) |
| ST | 270 | — | 300-340 (expected) |
These expected merit cutoffs are based on 2025 actual cutoff trends and are indicative only. Final college-wise and category-wise merit cutoffs will be confirmed after counselling rounds. Students scoring above qualifying marks but below expected merit cutoffs should still register for counselling as final cutoffs vary by college and course.
PTET Registration Trends: 2023 to 2026
PTET 2026 recorded its lowest registration in four years at approximately 1.26 lakh students, down sharply from 5.21 lakh in 2023. This steady decline in participation affects competition levels among qualified students and influences how many students clear the qualifying threshold.
| Year | Total Registered | Qualifying Marks (General) | Qualifying Percentage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | ~5.21 lakh | — | — |
| 2024 | ~4.27 lakh | — | — |
| 2025 | ~2.73 lakh | 240 out of 600 | 40% |
| 2026 | ~1.26 lakh | 300 out of 600 | 50% |
The significant rise in the qualifying threshold for 2026 (from 40% to 50% for General category) means the pass bar is higher for General category students even as overall participation declined. However, lower total participation also means reduced competition for each B.Ed seat among those who do qualify.
