• Students’ found it manageable if they had prepared well from standard syllabi (NCERT-level concepts for science-based papers and standard graduation-level topics for PG courses).
• No major surprises were reported, though some candidates mentioned time management was key due to application-based questions.

The morning shift of IPU CET 2026 for May 3 has officially concluded at 12:30 PM. Thousands of candidates for M.Tech (CSE/IT), PG Diploma in Bioinformatics, and BA Liberal Arts have exited the centers across Delhi/NCR.

IPU CET 2026 May 3 Morning Shift Expected Ranks & Scores.

• The 85/15 Rule: If a course has 100 seats, 85 seats are set aside for students who finished their last degree in Delhi. Only 15 seats are available for the entire rest of India.
• BA Liberal Arts Note: Since this is a popular "new-age" course, the Outside Delhi cut-off is expected to be brutal this year. Students from outside Delhi likely need to be in the top 5-7% of all test-takers to secure a top college like USMS.
