The exact cutt for The Indian Maritime University Common Entrance Test for B.Sc Nautical Science in TS Chanakya cannot be estimated but the closing rank round can range between 2500 to 3500.

The cutoff in TS Chanakya through IMU CTE for general category lies above 2500. 

As TS Chanakya is known for its programme of B.Sc Nautical Science the cutoffs are also high.

The 3rd list of  candidates who have been selected will be released in July 2025 for IMU CET. List of candidates and other detail will be available on the official website of IMU.

The 3rd list is supposed to be released by the last week of July on the basis of last year schedule.

Having an IMU CET 2024 ranking of 9,000 under the general category, finding admission in Marine Engineering at leading institutions such as IMU Kolkata or IMU Chennai might prove tough, considering that their earlier closing ranks were well under 1,000.
But you may also look at other good institutions whose cutoff ranks are higher.  For example, some of the affiliated colleges and private maritime institutions have had closing ranks ranging beyond 9,000 in previous years.
