MDUCEE Cutoff 2026: Category-Wise Qualifying Marks and Course-Wise Closing Score Trends

Ans. No. MDU does not declare a minimum qualifying score for MDUCEE. Every student who appears for the exam is listed in the merit list PDF. Admission depends on your rank in that list and the available seats in your preferred course and category.

Ans. Based on 2025 trends, you need approximately 65–78 marks out of 100 for M.Sc Biotechnology at MDU Rohtak (General category, Round 1). Scoring 75+ marks puts you in a comfortable position. For reserved categories, the effective cutoff is typically 15–20 marks lower.

Ans. Yes. In Round 1, more seats are available, so the cutoff is at its highest. As higher-ranked students get admitted and some seats are vacated in subsequent rounds, later rounds can sometimes see slightly lower or higher cutoffs depending on how many students report. If you miss Round 1, do not assume Round 2 will be easier.

Ans. Reserved category cutoffs are lower than General. For M.Sc Biotechnology at MDU Rohtak, SC category students typically get admitted with 44–58 marks and BC-A/BC-B students with 55–68 marks based on 2025 patterns. However, reservation benefits apply only to Haryana domicile holders who submit valid category certificates at the physical counselling venue.

Ans. No. Haryana government reservation benefits — SC, BC-A, BC-B, EWS, and PH — apply only to candidates with a valid Haryana domicile certificate. Students from other states compete in the General/Open category regardless of their home state caste or category status.

Ans. The effective cutoff is available in the group-wise merit list PDFs on mdu.ac.in and mduadmission.samarth.edu.in. MDU publishes one PDF per group (Life Sciences, Forensic Science, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics). There is no separate cutoff document — the last admitted candidate's score in the PDF is the cutoff.

Ans. If your score places you below the last admitted candidate in Round 1 for your preferred course and university, you will not get a seat in that round. You can try in Round 2 or Round 3 if seats remain vacant. You can also consider other participating universities where cutoffs are typically 5–15 marks lower than MDU Rohtak for the same course.

Ans. Based on previous year trends, M.Pharm admission at MDU Rohtak through MDUCEE (for GPAT-qualified students) typically requires 55–70 marks (General category, Round 1). You also need a valid GPAT score as a prerequisite. Actual 2026 cutoff will be in the Pharmaceutical Sciences group merit list PDF on mdu.ac.in.

Ans. There is no separate qualifying score in MDUCEE — all students who appear are listed. The cutoff is purely the score at which the last seat was filled in a specific course, category, and round. So every score above zero technically "qualifies" you for the list; whether you get admission depends on how many seats are available above your position in the list.

Ans. No. Each university sets its own cutoff based on its seat intake and applicants. MDU Rohtak consistently has the tightest cutoffs. Other participating universities — CRSU Jind, DCRUST Murthal, IGU Rewari, BPS Mahila Vishwavidyalaya, and others — generally have cutoffs 5–15 marks lower, giving students with slightly weaker scores a good alternative.
