The Diploma Engineering Entrance Examination of Tripura (DEEET) 2026 is conducted by the Central Selection Committee (CSC) under the Directorate of Higher Education, Government of Tripura. It offers admission to three-year diploma engineering programmes across six government polytechnics in the state. OBC category students compete in a reserved merit pool, which lowers effective cutoffs compared to the unreserved category. With the DEEET 2026 result declared in the first week of June 2026 and counselling under way, knowing expected OBC closing scores helps you prioritise institute and branch choices during seat allotment.

- Expected OBC closing marks at top institutes: 180–220 out of 400, based on 2025 trends.
- Expected OBC closing ranks: approximately 400–1,800 across all participating polytechnics.
- Tripura Institute of Technology (TIT), Narsingarh records the highest OBC cutoff among all government polytechnics in the state.
- The minimum qualifying score for DEEET admission is 35% of total marks, that is 140 out of 400.

Expected OBC Cutoff Marks and Closing Ranks (DEEET 2026)
The marks-to-rank mapping below is estimated on the basis of DEEET 2025 trends. OBC students can use these ranges as a guide when filling institute and branch preferences during counselling. Actual allotments depend on the final OBC merit list released by the CSC after each round.
| Score Range (out of 400) | Expected OBC Rank | Likely Admission Outcome (OBC) |
|---|---|---|
| 220 and above | Below 300 | Strong chances at TIT Narsingarh in any branch |
| 190–219 | 300–700 | Good access to TIT Narsingarh and Women’s Polytechnic |
| 165–189 | 700–1,100 | Seat likely at TTAADC Polytechnic or Gomati District Polytechnic |
| 140–164 | 1,100–1,500 | Seat possible at district polytechnics in less-competitive branches |
| Below 140 | Above 1,500 | Admission unlikely; wait for vacancy or mop-up rounds |
These figures are based on 2025 trends. OBC students scoring 165 or above have a reasonable chance of securing a seat if they fill a wide set of institute and branch choices during online counselling.

Factors Affecting DEEET 2026 OBC Cutoff
Several variables shape the final OBC cutoff in DEEET each year:
- Number of OBC applicants: A rise in OBC registrations increases competition for the same reserved seats and raises closing rank numbers.
- Exam difficulty level: A tougher paper depresses overall scores, which lowers the absolute marks at which OBC seats close in each institute.
- OBC seat allocation: Any revision in the reserved quota by the state government directly changes the number of OBC students who can be admitted.
- Branch and institute popularity: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at TIT Narsingarh attract higher demand; district polytechnic branches close later in counselling rounds.
- Counselling withdrawal rate: Seats surrendered after round 1 are redistributed in subsequent rounds and can open last-minute opportunities for OBC students with moderate ranks.
