The CGPET 2026 Result has been declared by the Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board (CG Vyapam) on June 17, 2026 at the official portal vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in. The final answer key was released together with the result. Candidates who sat the Chhattisgarh Pre Engineering Test on May 14, 2026 can now log in and download their scorecard.

You need your registration number and date of birth to access the scorecard on the CG Vyapam candidate portal. The scorecard shows your subject-wise marks and your category merit rank — both of which you need at every stage of the DTE Chhattisgarh counselling process.

  • CGPET 2026 result is out on June 17, 2026 — available along with the final answer key at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in.
  • The scorecard shows subject-wise marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (each out of 50), total marks out of 150, and your category merit rank.
  • Qualifying marks are 15 out of 150 (10%) for General, OBC, and EWS candidates; around 7–8 marks (5%) for SC, ST, and PwD candidates.
  • CG Vyapam prepares separate merit lists for General, OBC, EWS, SC, ST, and PwD — your category rank decides your seat during counselling.
  • DTE Chhattisgarh counselling registration is expected in the last week of June 2026 at cgdte.admissions.nic.in.
  • Tie-breaking order when marks are equal: higher Maths marks first, then Physics, then Chemistry, then older candidate.

CG Vyapam prepares the CGPET merit list based purely on entrance test marks — Class 12 marks play no role in the rank calculation.

What is CGPET Result 2026?

The CGPET Result 2026 is the official scorecard issued by CG Vyapam (Chhattisgarh Professional Examination Board) for students who appeared in the Chhattisgarh Pre Engineering Test. It shows your marks across three subjects and your category-wise merit rank — the two numbers that decide which engineering college and branch you can get in Chhattisgarh. The 2026 result is now live at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in.

CGPET is a state-level offline entrance exam. About 90% of B.E. and B.Tech seats in Chhattisgarh’s government and private engineering colleges are reserved for state domicile candidates — and those seats are filled through CGPET ranks via DTE Chhattisgarh’s centralised online counselling. The remaining 10% open-category seats are filled through JEE Main scores.

CGPET Result Previous Year Statistics

CGPET sees roughly 12,000 to 16,000 candidates in the merit list each year. The topper score has stayed between 118 and 127 out of 150 over the past five years — so scoring 100 or above puts you in a strong position for the top government colleges. The table below captures result timelines and merit list sizes from 2021 to 2025.

Year Exam Date Candidates in Merit List (Approx.) Topper Score (out of 150) Result Date
2025 May 8, 2025 12,276 127 June 6, 2025
2024 June 13, 2024 ~14,000 124 July 27, 2024
2023 May 22, 2023 ~13,500 ~120 July 2023
2022 May 22, 2022 ~16,000 126.5 June 15, 2022
2021 2021 ~14,000 ~118 ~June 2021

The 2026 result on June 17 came 34 days after the May 14 exam — similar to 2025’s 29-day turnaround. Topper scores have climbed from around 118 in 2021 to 127 in 2025, showing that top-end competition has tightened. Exam dates have also moved progressively earlier, from June in 2024 to May in 2025 and 2026. Detailed pass percentage and category-wise statistics for 2026 are not yet published by CG Vyapam in aggregate form; this section will be updated once officially released.

Ques. I forgot my CGPET 2026 registration number — what should I do?

Ans. Open the CG Vyapam candidate login page and click the Forgot Registration Number or account recovery link. You can usually retrieve it using your registered mobile number or email ID. If that does not work, contact CG Vyapam’s helpline with your application details.

Ques. The CGPET result portal is very slow — what should I do?

Ans. High traffic right after result declaration is normal and often slows the portal. Try again after a few hours, clear your browser cache, or switch to a different browser. If the portal is still inaccessible after 24 hours, check the CG Vyapam homepage for a maintenance notice or an alternative download link.

CGPET 2026 Scorecard Details

Your CGPET 2026 scorecard is the primary document for the entire admission process — counselling registration, document verification, and reporting to your allotted college. Download it now and keep multiple printouts ready.

The scorecard carries these details:

  • Candidate name, roll number, and registration number
  • Date of birth and category (General / OBC / EWS / SC / ST / PwD)
  • Subject-wise marks: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics — each out of 50
  • Total marks out of 150
  • Category-wise merit rank
  • Qualifying status

If you spot a mistake in your name, category, or marks, report it to CG Vyapam right away. Do not wait until counselling — a discrepancy caught late can delay or block your seat allotment.

CGPET 2026 Qualifying Marks

CGPET sets a low qualifying threshold — the exam is designed to include all serious aspirants in the merit list, not to filter most of them out. Almost every candidate who genuinely attempts the exam will clear this bar. What actually determines your seat is your rank among those who qualify, not just crossing the threshold.

Category Minimum Qualifying Marks in CGPET (out of 150) Qualifying %
General / EWS 15 10%
OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) 15 10%
SC 7–8 5%
ST 7–8 5%
PwD 7–8 5%

Separately, you must also meet the Class 12 eligibility criteria: at least 45% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics for General and EWS candidates; 40% for SC/ST/OBC/PwD. This is checked during document verification at counselling and is not reflected in the CGPET scorecard. For a seat in a top government college, General category students typically need 100 marks or above based on past trends — qualifying alone does not guarantee a good allotment.

CGPET 2026 Cutoff

The official CGPET 2026 cutoff — the closing rank for each college and branch — will be published by DTE Chhattisgarh after each counselling round. The table below gives indicative ranges based on previous year trends, to help you shortlist colleges before counselling registration opens.

Category Indicative Marks for Top Government Colleges (2025 Reference) Approximate Rank Range
General (UR) 100+ 1–500
OBC (NCL) 95+ Top 200 in OBC merit list
EWS 90+ Top 100 in EWS merit list
SC 68+ Top 100 in SC merit list
ST 55+ Top 100 in ST merit list
Lower-tier colleges (all categories) 25–35 Last rank in mop-up round

Branch-wise demand varies sharply — CSE and IT close much faster than Civil, Agriculture, or Dairy Technology. Official round-wise closing ranks for CGPET 2026 will be updated here once DTE Chhattisgarh publishes them after each counselling round.

CGPET 2026 Merit List

CG Vyapam releases separate merit lists for each category — General, OBC (NCL), EWS, SC, ST, and PwD. Your rank in your category’s merit list is what DTE Chhattisgarh uses for seat allotment. So if you are an OBC candidate, only your position on the OBC merit list decides which college and branch you can get in a given counselling round — your overall rank is secondary.

How the merit list is prepared:

  • Ranks are assigned purely on CGPET 2026 marks. Class 12 marks are not factored in.
  • Only candidates who scored the minimum qualifying marks and hold valid Chhattisgarh domicile are included.
  • All streams — B.E., B.Tech, B.Tech Agriculture/Food/Dairy — fall under the same combined ranking per category.

Tie-breaking rule (applied in this exact sequence):

  1. Higher marks in Mathematics
  2. Higher marks in Physics
  3. Higher marks in Chemistry
  4. Older candidate (earlier date of birth) ranks higher
  5. Higher aggregate marks in Class 12 PCM

The 2025 merit list had 12,276 candidates. The 2026 merit list size will be announced by CG Vyapam once official statistics are released — category-wise breakdowns typically come alongside the counselling schedule.

What After CGPET Result 2026

The result is the starting point, not the finish line. Qualifying the exam does not automatically give you a seat — you have to participate in DTE Chhattisgarh’s centralised online counselling. Here is how the process works.

Step 1 — Counselling Registration
Register at cgdte.admissions.nic.in during the registration window (expected last week of June 2026). Pay the counselling fee and fill in your personal, academic, and category details accurately.

Step 2 — Document Verification
Upload or submit original documents for verification. Key documents: CGPET 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates, Chhattisgarh domicile certificate, category certificate (for OBC/EWS/SC/ST/PwD), income certificate if applicable, character certificate, and recent passport-size photographs.

Step 3 — Choice Filling and Locking
Log in and add your preferred colleges and branches in priority order. Fill as many choices as you can — more choices means more chances if your first few preferences have low allotment probability. Lock your choices before the deadline.

Step 4 — Seat Allotment
DTE runs the allotment algorithm based on your category rank and filled choices. Allotment results go live on the portal. Check which college and branch you have been allotted.

Step 5 — Reporting to the Allotted College
Accept the seat online and report to your allotted college within the deadline with all original documents. Pay the admission fee. Missing the reporting deadline forfeits your seat, and it may not be recoverable in the next round.

DTE typically runs two centralised rounds plus an institutional round for leftover seats. If Round 1 does not give you your preferred choice, stay active for Round 2 and the mop-up round.

Ques. Is counselling registration compulsory even if I have a good CGPET 2026 rank?

Ans. Yes. A good rank means nothing without counselling registration. You must register at cgdte.admissions.nic.in, fill and lock your choices, and accept an allotted seat. Skipping even one step means losing your chance for that round — there is no auto-allotment.

Ques. Can I use my CGPET 2026 rank for the 10% open-category seats in Chhattisgarh colleges?

Ans. No. Those 10% open-category seats are filled through JEE Main scores via a separate process. Your CGPET rank is valid only for the 90% seats reserved for Chhattisgarh domicile candidates.

FAQs

Ques. When was the CGPET 2026 result declared?

Ans. CG Vyapam declared the CGPET 2026 result on June 17, 2026, along with the final answer key. You can download your scorecard now at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in.

Ques. Where can I check the CGPET 2026 result?

Ans. Visit the official CG Vyapam website at vyapamcg.cgstate.gov.in and click the CGPET 2026 result link. You can also log in directly at vyapamprofile.cgstate.gov.in/online/ using your registration number and date of birth.

Ques. What do I need to log in and check the CGPET 2026 result?

Ans. You need your CGPET 2026 Registration Number and your Date of Birth or the password you set during registration. Have these ready before you open the portal.

Ques. What is the minimum score to qualify CGPET 2026?

Ans. General, OBC, and EWS candidates need at least 15 marks out of 150 (10%). SC, ST, and PwD candidates need around 7–8 marks (5%). Clearing this only makes you eligible for counselling — your actual seat depends on your category rank versus the college and branch you target.

Ques. Does CGPET 2026 have negative marking?

Ans. No. Each correct answer earns 1 mark. Wrong or unanswered questions score zero — there is no deduction. So every question is worth attempting.

Ques. How is the CGPET 2026 merit rank calculated?

Ans. Your rank is based entirely on your CGPET 2026 marks — Class 12 marks are not used. CG Vyapam prepares separate lists for each category. Ties are broken by Maths marks first, then Physics, then Chemistry; if the tie persists, the older candidate ranks higher.

Ques. When will CGPET 2026 counselling start?

Ans. DTE Chhattisgarh is expected to open counselling registration in the last week of June 2026. Round 1 seat allotment is likely in the 4th week of July 2026. Watch cgdte.admissions.nic.in for the confirmed schedule.

Ques. Can students from other states get seats through CGPET?

Ans. No. CGPET is for Chhattisgarh domicile candidates, who fill 90% of seats in participating colleges. Students from other states must apply for the separate 10% open-category seats through JEE Main — CGPET rank does not apply to those seats.

Ques. What courses can I get with a CGPET 2026 rank?

Ans. A CGPET 2026 rank gives you access to B.E. and B.Tech programmes — including CSE, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, and Electronics — at about 45 engineering colleges in Chhattisgarh. It also covers B.Tech in Agriculture Engineering, Food Technology, and Dairy Technology at select institutions.

Ques. How many candidates are typically in the CGPET merit list?

Ans. Between 12,000 and 16,000 candidates appear in the CGPET merit list each year. The 2025 list had 12,276 candidates. The 2026 total will be confirmed once CG Vyapam releases official statistics after the result.
