CEETA PG 2026 EXPECTED PERCENTILE AND BC CANDIDATES FOR TOP TN GOVT COLLEGES
Hello Dear Student,
For CEETA PG 2026 , there is no single fixed cutoff for BC candidates because cutoffs vary by college, branch, number of applicants, and seat availability. The official admission cutoffs are released only after counselling.
Based on expected trends reported by multiple education sources:
| Category | Expected CEETA PG Score Range (out of 100) |
|---|---|
| General / OC | 40–60 |
| BC / BCM / MBC | 35–55 |
| SC / ST / SCA | 30–50 |
For top institutions such as :
-
College of Engineering Guindy
-
Madras Institute of Technology
-
Alagappa College of Technology
BC candidates generally need to be toward the higher end of the BC range , especially for popular specializations such as CSE, ECE, and high-demand M.E./M.Tech programs. Competition is significantly higher for these branches than for some core engineering specializations.
As a rough guideline:
-
35–40 marks : May be sufficient for some regional campuses and less competitive branches.
-
40–50 marks : Gives a reasonable chance at many government and aided colleges.
-
50+ marks : Strengthens your chances for top government colleges and popular branches.
-
55+ marks : Usually puts you in a competitive position for highly sought-after programs, subject to counselling trends.
Remember that actual seat allotment depends on your rank, percentile, category, branch preference, and counselling choices , not just raw marks.
