UPCATET Result Previous Year Statistics

UPCATET is held every year to fill seats at four state agricultural universities in Uttar Pradesh. The exam takes place in June, and results are typically declared within 10–15 days of the exam date. Below is a year-wise snapshot of key result and counselling milestones over the past five years to help you understand how the cycle has evolved.

BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry) is consistently the most sought-after UG programme in UPCATET. Competition for veterinary seats has remained steady across cycles, and the closing score for government veterinary colleges has held in a tight range over the last two years. The table below shows approximate competitive score benchmarks for BVSc & AH based on 2024 and 2025 trend data.

The data from 2024 and 2025 shows that competition for BVSc & AH has been stable — the closing score for General category has stayed between 320 and 340 out of 800. For other UG programmes like BSc (Hons) Agriculture, the bar is typically 50–80 marks lower, which means candidates with moderate scores still have a realistic shot at government agricultural colleges in Uttar Pradesh.

UPCATET Result 2026: How to Check

The UPCATET 2026 result is available online only — the university does not send hard copies by post. You need your roll number and date of birth to log in. If the portal is slow right after result declaration due to traffic, try again after a couple of hours or access it in off-peak time.

1. Go to the official website: upcatetexam.org
2. Click on "Login" or "Student Login" on the homepage.
3. Enter your roll number and date of birth in the fields provided.
4. Click "Sign In" or "Submit".
5. Your UPCATET 2026 scorecard opens on screen — check your total marks, overall rank, category rank, and qualifying status.
6. Download the PDF and save it. Print at least 3–4 copies for counselling, document verification, and university admission.

Your roll number and date of birth are both printed on your admit card. If you cannot find the admit card, check the email or SMS you received when the admit card was released — the roll number is typically included there as well.

UPCATET 2026 Rank Card / Scorecard Details

The UPCATET 2026 rank card (also called the scorecard) is your official result document and the primary credential for all stages of counselling — from seat allotment to document verification to final admission at the allotted university. Keep multiple printed copies throughout the admission cycle.

If you belong to a reserved category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), your category rank determines priority for reserved seats at each participating university. The overall merit rank applies to open/general seats. Both ranks come into play when you fill in your counselling preferences — so note down both before you start the process.

UPCATET 2026 Qualifying Marks

To appear in the UPCATET 2026 merit list and be eligible for counselling, you must score at or above the minimum qualifying marks. These are set by the conducting authority and vary by category. Clearing the qualifying cutoff only puts you in the merit list — actual seat allotment depends on your rank and competition for your chosen programme and university.

Based on previous-year benchmarks, scoring 370 marks or more (out of 800) is considered a good score for most UG programmes. A score of 400 marks or above puts you in a very strong position across all courses. For BVSc & AH seats at government colleges, General category candidates generally need around 320–340 marks — the most competitive bar in the exam.
