Total Appeared vs Qualified — Year-wise Data
Year-on-year data shows a steady rise in DAVV CET participation, while the qualification rate has remained fairly stable. The gap between registered and appeared students — typically 15–20% — is consistent across state-level postgraduate entrance exams.
| Year | Registered | Appeared | Qualified | Qualification % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | ~65,000 | ~51,000 | ~32,000 | ~63% |
| 2024 | ~69,000 | ~55,000 | ~35,500 | ~64.5% |
| 2025 | ~72,000 | ~58,000 | ~37,000 | ~64% |
| 2026 (Expected) | ~74,000–76,000 | ~60,000–63,000 | ~38,000–42,000 | ~62–66% |
Students who register but do not appear are excluded from the qualification percentage calculation. Only those who sit for the exam are counted in the appeared and qualified totals.
DAVV CET 2026 Qualification Criteria
To appear in the DAVV CET 2026 merit list you must meet the minimum qualifying marks set by the university. Crossing this threshold makes you eligible for counselling — it does not guarantee a seat. Admission depends on your rank, your category, and available seats in your chosen program.
| Category | Minimum Qualifying Marks | Approx. Qualifying Percentile (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| General / OBC (Creamy Layer) | 40% of total marks | Above 35th percentile |
| OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) / SC / ST | 35% of total marks | Above 20th percentile |
| PwD | 35% of total marks | Relaxation as per MP state norms |
DAVV CET does not apply negative marking for most programs, so your raw score directly determines whether you qualify. Students who do not meet the minimum qualifying percentage are not included in any merit list and are ineligible for the counselling process.
Category-wise Qualification Stats
The category-wise split of qualified students reflects Madhya Pradesh state reservation norms. Based on 2025 data, the expected category-wise distribution for DAVV CET 2026 is as follows:
| Category | Expected Qualified (2026) | Approximate Share |
|---|---|---|
| General | ~18,000–20,000 | ~47–48% |
| OBC | ~10,000–12,000 | ~27% |
| SC | ~5,500–6,500 | ~15% |
| ST | ~3,000–4,000 | ~9% |
| PwD / EWS / Others | ~500–800 | ~2% |
All category-wise figures above are expected estimates based on 2025 trends. Official category-wise qualification data will be available on the DAVV CET portal after July 3, 2026.
Course-wise Qualifier Breakdown
DAVV CET is held for multiple postgraduate programs and each program has a separate merit list. The number of qualified students per program depends on total seats, the reservation matrix, and the difficulty of that paper. MBA remains the most competitive program with the highest qualifier-to-seat ratio.
| Program | Approx. Seats | Expected Qualifiers (2026) | Competition Ratio |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBA | ~600–700 | ~12,000–15,000 | ~20:1 |
| MCA | ~300–400 | ~6,000–8,000 | ~18:1 |
| M.Sc. (various) | ~800–1,000 | ~10,000–12,000 | ~12:1 |
| M.Com. | ~200–300 | ~4,000–5,000 | ~18:1 |
| M.A. (various) | ~1,000–1,200 | ~8,000–10,000 | ~8:1 |
A high qualifier-to-seat ratio means crossing the minimum cutoff is only the first step. Your rank within the program-specific merit list — and your category — determines whether you receive a seat in counselling rounds.
What Happens After You Qualify DAVV CET 2026?
