| Category | QA (SA) | QA (MCQ) | VA |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 22–26 | 33–37 | 110–118 |
| EWS | 14–18 | 24–28 | 85–95 |
| NC-OBC | 10–14 | 20–25 | 75–85 |
| SC | 10–14 | 16–20 | 55–65 |
| ST | 6–10 | 10–14 | 35–45 |
| PwD | 6–10 | 10–14 | 35–45 |
Note: These are expected sectional minimums for shortlisting.
| Category | Target Score | Good Score | Safe Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 175–189 | 190–204 | 205+ |
| EWS | 145–159 | 160–174 | 175+ |
| NC-OBC | 130–149 | 150–164 | 165+ |
| SC | 105–124 | 125–139 | 140+ |
| ST | 75–94 | 95–109 | 110+ |
| PwD | 70–89 | 90–104 | 105+ |
Tip: If you're a General category aspirant, aim for 200+ to stay comfortably above fluctuations.
Unlike Indore, Rohtak has an overall cutoff (no separate sectional display in the final shortlist stage) , and the score scale differs.
| Category | Expected 2026 Cutoff Range |
|---|---|
| General | 360–395 |
| EWS | 310–345 |
| NC-OBC | 275–310 |
| SC | 210–245 |
| ST | 125–155 |
| PwD | 250–290 |
| Category | Target Score | Good Score | Safe Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 350–369 | 370–399 | 400+ |
| EWS | 300–319 | 320–349 | 350+ |
| NC-OBC | 265–284 | 285–314 | 315+ |
| SC | 200–219 | 220–249 | 250+ |
| ST | 120–134 | 135–159 | 160+ |
| PwD | 235–254 | 255–289 | 290+ |
A Safe Zone for GEN: 400+ provides a strong buffer.
JIPMAT has 3 sections (QA, DILR, VARC), and selection is primarily based on the overall score (with minimum eligibility in the sectionals).
| Institute | GEN | EWS | NC-OBC | SC | ST |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IIM Bodh Gaya | 285–305 | 240–265 | 215–245 | 150–190 | 135–170 |
| IIM Jammu | 280–300 | 235–260 | 235–260 | 200–230 | 175–210 |
| Category | Target Score | Good Score | Safe Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| General | 285–304 | 305–319 | 320+ |
| EWS | 235–254 | 255–274 | 275+ |
| NC-OBC | 215–234 | 235–254 | 255+ |
| SC | 165–189 | 190–214 | 215+ |
