Pondicherry University

The admissions to Pondicherry University MSW are done on the basis of CUET-PG. During the academic year 2024, the Round 1 closing grades to MSW (General Category) were 102 and in Round 2 these grades decreased to 74. The cut off in case of the OBC category was 60 in both rounds. However, anticipated cutoffs in 2025 are approximately 179 in General, but this might vary depending on the applicants to the exam and their overall results in the CUET-PG. The eligibility is a degree of Bachelor (50 per cent marks).

With a CUET score of 753/1250, your chances for B.Tech at Pondicherry University depend on your category and course choice. For general category and popular branches like CSE, it may be tough. But for other branches or if you belong to a reserved category, you might get in. Wait for the cutoff to be sure.

The rules specify a special provision: Indian National Math Olympiad (INMO) awardees can join the B.Sc (Hons.) Mathematics programme without appearing in the PU CET (UG) entrance test. These INMO-qualified students get admission directly, filling additional seats above the normal seat matrix. This means if you have an INMO medal, you are eligible for Math (Hons) directly under this policy.

PU CET (UG) 2026 Physical counseling will be open mainly to students who did not get a seat in the online rounds or to fill reserved seats still vacant. In practice (as in previous years), the first day (s) may focus on General category candidates without seats, and subsequent days on remaining reserved category candidates. You attend in person at the designated venue (Panjab University, Chandigarh) with your documents and payment. The counselors will re-check your rank and choices, and offer available seats department by department. Once seats are offered, you must confirm and pay immediately. 

The PU CET (UG) Counselling process is expected to start in the second week of June 2026. Students need to check the official website. There will be multiple rounds in the counselling process.

Candidates are required to bring the Counselling Form on the day of PU CET (UG) Physical Counselling.

If you receive an allotment in Round 1 of PU CET (UG) counselling process, you must report to allotted department on campus during the prescribed dates and bring all the important documents. You will also need to pay the admission and departmental fees immediately.
