What is Q Care 2026?
Q Care stands for Quantum Combined Appraisal to Reward Excellence. It is the official entrance and scholarship examination conducted by Quantum University, Roorkee, Uttarakhand for admission to its undergraduate, postgraduate, and integrated programmes. The exam was introduced to give students a fair route to both a seat and financial support — your Q Care score determines your eligibility for admission and the scholarship amount you receive in the first year, independent of your board exam marks.

The exam has four separate tracks, each designed for a different set of programmes:
- Q-CARE I: For B.Tech and engineering programmes — Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, English
- Q-CARE II: For B.Pharma, B.Sc Agriculture, and allied life sciences — Physics, Chemistry, Biology, English
- Q-CARE III: For BBA, BCA, B.Com, BA, BA LLB, BHM, and media programmes — Reasoning, General Awareness, Quantitative Ability, Verbal Ability

Q Care 2026 Merit List and Qualifying Score
Quantum University prepares a merit list for Q Care based on total scores of all candidates who appeared in the exam. The merit list is used to finalise scholarship allocation and admission priority. It is published around the same time as the result.
How the Q Care Merit List Works
- Candidates are ranked by their total Q Care score out of 100
- In case of a tie, the candidate with a higher score in the main subject — Mathematics for Q-CARE I, Biology for Q-CARE II, Reasoning for Q-CARE III and IV — gets a better rank
- Separate merit lists are released for each track (Q-CARE I, II, III, IV)
- Merit rank determines scholarship priority — higher rank within the same score band means earlier scholarship disbursement
- You can access your merit rank by logging into the official Q Care portal after the result is declared
Q Care 2026 Score and Admission Status Reference
| Q Care Score (out of 100) | Percentage | Admission Status |
|---|---|---|
| 90–100 | 90% and above | Accepted — Maximum scholarship slab |
| 80–89 | 80%–89% | Accepted — High scholarship slab |
| 70–79 | 70%–79% | Accepted — Mid scholarship slab |
| 61–69 | 61%–69% | Accepted — Base scholarship slab |
| 50–59 | 50%–59% | Waitlisted |
| Below 50 | Below 50% | Rejected / Not Eligible |
Candidates in the Accepted band who have received a PLA should complete fee payment without delay. Scholarship allocations are limited and processed on a first-come, first-served basis among eligible candidates — early fee payers get priority confirmation.
Q Care 2026 Scholarship
One of the biggest advantages of Q Care is the scholarship component. Quantum University offers total scholarships worth over Rs. 1 Crore through Q Care every year. Scholarships are tuition fee reductions applied to the first year of your programme. Your Q Care score alone determines eligibility — your Class 12 board percentage does not affect the Q Care scholarship slab.
If a candidate qualifies under multiple criteria — both a high Q Care score and a high board percentage — the highest applicable scholarship slab applies. The scholarship pool is limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis among eligible candidates each year.
Q Care Scholarship for B.Tech and B.Tech (Hons.)
| Q Care Score | Scholarship (First Year) |
|---|---|
| 60%–69.9% | Rs. 10,000 |

| 90% and above | Rs. 10,000 |
Candidates who scored 90% or above in their Class 12 board exams are also eligible for the top scholarship slab, even if their Q Care score falls in a lower band. Both UG and PG applicants can benefit from scholarships through Q Care 2026.
The Q Care scholarship pool is limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If you have received your PLA, submit your fee payment and documents early to lock in your scholarship — do not wait until the deadline.
Q Care 2026 Admission Process: PLA and CLA
Quantum University follows a three-stage admission process for Q Care. As of July 2026, the university is in the third and final stage — fee deposit and CLA issuance. The 2026-27 batch starts August 1, 2026. All formalities must be completed before that date.
Stage 1: Q Care Exam or Alternative Score
Candidates appeared for Q Care in their chosen slot during January–May 2026. Alternatively, candidates with a JEE Main (for B.Tech), CAT / MAT / XAT / CMAT / NMAT (for MBA), or GATE (for M.Tech) score could submit that score directly without taking Q Care. Students with 70%+ in Class XII boards could also apply for direct merit-based admission without an exam.

- The first fee instalment amount due
- The 15-day payment deadline from PLA issuance date
- Bank details or DD instructions for fee payment
Candidates on the waiting list (50–59%) should monitor their phone and email closely. Quantum University contacts waiting-list candidates when confirmed-list candidates forfeit their seats after the 15-day deadline passes. Waiting-list conversions typically happen in late July, before the August 1 batch start.
Stage 3: Fee Deposit and CLA
After receiving the PLA, you have 15 days to pay the first fee instalment. Payment options are:
- Demand Draft (DD): In favour of "Quantum University", payable at Dehradun
- RTGS / NEFT: Transfer to the bank account details mentioned in your PLA
After fee payment and document verification, Quantum University issues your Confirmation Letter of Admission (CLA) via email. The CLA is the final admission document and is required when you report to the campus on August 1, 2026.

Q Care 2026 Preparation Tips
Q Care is a moderate-difficulty exam based entirely on Class 11 and 12 NCERT content for science tracks and on aptitude with general awareness for management tracks. Since there is no negative marking, your strategy is to attempt all 100 questions. Here are track-specific tips to score above 80% and qualify for the highest scholarship slabs.
Tips for Q-CARE I and II (Science Tracks)
- NCERT is the primary source: Q-CARE I and II questions are drawn directly from Class 11 and 12 NCERT books. Physics and Chemistry together account for 60 out of 100 questions — cover all NCERT chapters, worked examples, and end exercises before anything else.
- Mathematics (Q-CARE I) and Biology (Q-CARE II) carry 30 questions each and are the tiebreaker subjects for merit ranking. Allocate extra preparation time to these. For Mathematics, prioritise Calculus, Algebra, and Probability. For Biology, focus on Human Physiology, Genetics, and Biotechnology.
- The English section has 10 questions — these are straightforward marks. Cover basic grammar (tenses, subject-verb agreement), common vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Never skip this section.
- Aim for 80% or above: Scoring 80–89% in Q-CARE I earns you Rs. 25,000 in first-year scholarship for B.Tech. Scoring 90%+ earns Rs. 30,000. A higher target directly reduces your cost of education.
- Practise NCERT Exemplar and previous Class XII board MCQs daily to build speed within the 60-minute window (36 seconds per question on average).
Tips for Q-CARE III and IV (Management Tracks)
- General Awareness has 25 questions — the single largest section for Q-CARE III. Read a newspaper daily or use a current affairs app. Cover the last 6 months of national and international news, static GK, and government schemes.
- Reasoning (25 questions) is the most scoring section with regular practice. Focus on coding-decoding, blood relations, series completion, and syllogisms — these are the most commonly asked reasoning types in Q Care.
- Quantitative Ability stays at Class 10 level: Questions cover percentages, profit and loss, time and work, and data interpretation. Practise 15–20 questions daily in the weeks before your exam.
- For Verbal Ability, read an English article every day — comprehension speed and vocabulary improve together, helping with both the Reading Comprehension and Synonym/Antonym questions.
General Tips for All Tracks
- Attempt all 100 questions: There is no negative marking. Never leave any question unanswered. Even a logical guess has a 25% chance of being correct in a 4-option MCQ format.
- Check your system before exam day: Q Care is AI-proctored from home. Test your webcam, microphone, browser (latest Chrome or Firefox), and internet connection well before your slot. Log in at least 15 minutes early.
- Book your slot early in the window: Rolling exams give you more preparation time when you book early. Slots in convenient time zones fill quickly. Do not wait until the final weeks of the registration window.
- Apply early for scholarship priority: The scholarship pool is limited and given on a first-come, first-served basis. In future cycles, submitting your application and fee as early as possible maximises your chances of scholarship confirmation.
