MDUCEE 2026 SC Category Expected Cutoff Overview
The MDUCEE SC category cutoff is the last rank at which an SC student secures admission in a given course at a particular university. SC students compete among themselves for the reserved 20% seats, so the closing rank for this category is numerically higher than the general category. Based on MDUCEE 2025 admission data, SC category closing ranks ranged from approximately 900 (BCA at MDU Rohtak) to over 6,500 (B.A. Hons. at universities with large seat intake).
For 2026, minor upward movement in closing ranks is expected due to increased applicant volume. The table below gives the expected SC and general category closing rank range across popular courses.

Factors Affecting MDUCEE 2026 SC Category Cutoff
Several variables influence the final SC category cutoff for MDUCEE 2026. Understanding these helps you predict where your rank stands and plan counselling preferences accordingly.
- Total SC applicants: A higher number of SC students appearing in MDUCEE 2026 pushes the SC closing rank lower (numerically), making admission harder for lower-ranked SC students.
- Number of SC reserved seats: Each university allocates 20% of total seats to SC students. More total seats means more SC seats and a relatively higher closing rank.
- Course demand: BCA, B.Sc. Computer Science, and B.Com are high-demand courses, so competition within the SC category is steeper for these programmes.
- University location and reputation: MDU Rohtak and Kurukshetra University attract more applicants, so their SC closing ranks are lower (numerically) than universities in smaller cities.
- Difficulty level of MDUCEE 2026 paper: If the paper is easier, scores cluster higher, compressing the rank range and potentially lowering closing ranks.
- Seat carry-forward: Vacant SC seats from earlier counselling rounds may be reopened in later rounds, which can slightly relax the final closing rank for late-applying SC students.
