AU LAT 2026 EWS Cutoff: Expected Marks and Reservation Seats

The AU LAT 2026 EWS expected cutoff for Round 1 is 460–490 marks, with approximately 97 seats reserved for Economically Weaker Section students out of 975 total LLB seats at the University of Allahabad.

The University of Allahabad releases the AU LAT cutoff after the result and merit list are finalised. For EWS students, the cutoff is typically 80–120 marks below the General category figure. Since the 2026 result is expected in late June 2026, all figures here are based on 2025 and 2023 data and must be treated as expected estimates. The official cutoff will be published on allduniv.ac.in.

EWS Reservation Seats in AU LAT 2026

Minimum Qualifying Marks for AU LAT 2026 EWS

EWS students must score at least 27 marks out of 300 in AU LAT 2026 to be eligible for the merit list. This is the minimum entrance test threshold — the actual admission cutoff is much higher. The table below lists minimum qualifying marks by category.

Scoring above this threshold makes you eligible for the merit list. Actual admission depends on your rank within the EWS category and the round-wise cutoff at the time of counselling.

Factors Affecting AU LAT 2026 EWS Cutoff

Several factors determine how high or low the AU LAT 2026 EWS cutoff will be.

• Number of EWS applicants: More EWS students competing for ~97 seats pushes the cutoff higher.
• Exam difficulty level: An easier paper raises average scores, increasing the cutoff for all categories.
• EWS seat intake: Any revision to total seats or the EWS percentage directly shifts the cutoff.
• Round-wise counselling: Cutoffs fall in each successive round as unfilled EWS seats open to lower-ranked students.
• Declining trend: With the EWS cutoff dropping from 553 marks in 2023 to ~482 marks in 2025 Round 1, a further dip in 2026 is possible.
• Merit formula: Any change in how the university compiles the final merit score can shift the expected ranges.
