Factors Affecting UPCATET Cutoff 2026

Several factors shape the UPCATET cutoff each year. Knowing them helps you set realistic expectations before choosing a university or course.

• Total candidates appeared: More candidates competing for the same seats pushes closing ranks higher. Growth in applicant numbers tightens the cutoff year on year.
• Difficulty level of the exam: A tougher paper lowers raw scores. This shifts rank distributions and typically eases the closing rank slightly.
• Number of seats available: Additional seats ease the cutoff. Fewer seats tighten it. Seat intake changes based on ICAR approvals each cycle.
• Category-wise reservation: UP government norms fix reservation percentages for OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories. Each category has a separate seat pool and its own closing rank.
• Number of counselling rounds: In later rounds, top-ranked candidates have already accepted seats elsewhere. Closing ranks in later rounds are usually higher, meaning less competition.
• Student preference for universities: SVPUAT Meerut and DUVASU Mathura attract top-ranked students. Their cutoffs stay tight. Less popular universities like BUAT Banda have higher closing ranks.
• Candidate withdrawal: Students who withdraw after Phase 1 return their seats to the pool. This shifts Phase 2 and Phase 3 closing ranks upward.

UPCATET 2026 Category-Wise Cutoff

The table below shows the UPCATET 2026 Phase 2 category-wise closing ranks for B.Sc Agriculture (Hons.) at the four main agricultural universities in UP.

At SVPUAT Meerut, the SC closing rank (4,580) is 2,960 ranks above the General closing rank (1,620). This gap reflects the wider SC seat pool at this university.

All closing ranks shown are from Phase 2 seat allotment published on July 5, 2026. If Phase 3 or a spot round is held, closing ranks may shift higher for less popular courses and universities.

UPCATET Cutoff for Top Agricultural Universities

UPCATET 2026 gives you admission to five agricultural universities across UP. Here is how the UPCATET cutoff compares across universities for the General category in Phase 2.

SVPUAT Meerut attracts top-ranked students because of its infrastructure, research facilities, and location. DUVASU Mathura is the only veterinary university in the group. Its B.V.Sc and A.H. programme has very limited seats. This keeps its cutoff tighter than most B.Sc Agriculture programmes.

Candidates with ranks beyond 4,000 still have good options. NDUAT Kumarganj and BUAT Banda have higher closing ranks. Both universities offer the same B.Sc Agriculture degree with full ICAR recognition.

UPCATET 2026: Course-Wise Cutoff

UPCATET covers multiple courses across all five universities. The table below shows Phase 2 closing ranks for major courses in UPCATET 2026.

B.Sc Agriculture at SVPUAT Meerut and B.V.Sc and A.H. at DUVASU Mathura are the two most competitive options. B.Sc Forestry and B.Sc Agriculture at BUAT Banda are less competitive. Candidates with ranks beyond 3,000 can still target these courses.

UPCATET Previous Year Cutoff Trends

The table below tracks the UPCATET cutoff trend for five years for B.Sc Agriculture at SVPUAT Meerut. This is the most competitive programme and university combination under UPCATET.

The General closing rank moved from 1,120 in 2021 to 1,580 in 2025. That is a shift of 460 ranks over five years. The OBC closing rank moved from 2,280 to 2,950 over the same period — a shift of 670 ranks. The SC closing rank shifted by 890 ranks, from 3,460 to 4,350.

All categories show a steady tightening trend year on year. The 2026 Phase 2 General closing rank at SVPUAT Meerut is 1,620. That is a rise of 40 ranks from 1,580 in 2025. The pace of tightening has slowed. This likely reflects additional seats added through university expansions in recent years.
