Category-wise Expected Rank at 100 Marks
DAVV publishes separate merit lists for each reservation category. The same score of 100 marks produces significantly different ranks depending on your category, as shown below.
| Category | Expected Rank at 100 Marks | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| General (UR) | 2,500–4,500 | Competitive pool; IMS DAVV MBA not accessible |
| OBC (MP domicile) | 1,500–2,800 | Better rank; some DAVV PG departments accessible |
| SC | 600–1,200 | Wider options; IMS DAVV accessible in later rounds |
| ST | 400–900 | Good access to most programs |
| PH / Divyang | 200–700 | Dedicated horizontal reservation seats |
MP domicile is mandatory to claim OBC, SC, or ST reservation benefits in DAVV CET counselling. Students without MP domicile compete in the General category regardless of their caste certificate. Both an Overall rank and a Category rank appear on your DAVV CET scorecard — the Category rank is used for reserved seat allotment during counselling.

How DAVV CET 2026 Rank is Calculated
Understanding the rank formula helps you estimate your position before the official scorecard is published and plan your counselling choices accordingly.
- Score formula: DAVV CET Score = (3 × Correct answers) ? (1 × Wrong answers). Unattempted questions score 0.
- Merit list: All students are ranked in descending order of their total CET score. Your position on this list is your Overall rank.
- Tie-breaking rule: Equal scores are resolved first by the higher percentage in the qualifying (graduation) exam. If still tied, the older student ranks higher.
- Scorecard fields: Your DAVV CET scorecard shows both your Overall rank and your Category rank. Counselling uses the Category rank for reserved seat allotment.
To score exactly 100 marks with no wrong answers, you need 34 correct answers (34 × 3 = 102; 33 × 3 = 99). If you attempted more questions with some wrong answers, the calculation shifts — for example, 40 correct and 8 wrong gives 40×3?8 = 112. The +3/?1 scheme rewards precision over speed, making accuracy the decisive factor at every score level.
