| Counselling Round | General (UR) Expected Cutoff (Out of 300) | OBC Expected Cutoff (Out of 300) | SC/ST Expected Cutoff (Out of 300) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | 172–182 | 155–165 | 120–135 |
| Round 2 | 165–175 | 148–158 | 112–128 |

Factors Affecting AU LAT 2026 Cutoff
Several variables determine where the AU LAT 2026 General category cutoff will finally settle. Understanding these helps you assess your chances accurately.
- Total applicants: A larger pool of test-takers pushes closing marks up as competition for 975 seats increases.
- Paper difficulty: If AU LAT 2026 was easier than 2025, overall scores rise and so do cutoffs. A tougher paper leads to relatively lower cutoffs.
- Reservation policy: Seats are distributed across General, OBC, SC, and ST categories per University of Allahabad norms. The number of unreserved seats directly controls where the General category closing marks settle.
- Number of counselling rounds: More rounds spread out admissions, and closing marks ease progressively each round as unfilled seats re-enter the pool.
- Seat cancellations and upgrades: Confirmed seats that are subsequently vacated re-enter the pool, giving students with slightly lower marks a second chance in later rounds.
