BHU Varanasi Announces CUET Cut-Off Trends for 2025 Admissions

 

Varanasi, June 2025 – Banaras Hindu University (BHU) is expected to publish its CUET 2025 cut-off scores imminently, aligning with trends observed in the previous year’s admissions. This year’s intake process has drawn keen attention, as aspirants and academicians closely monitor the thresholds across undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

CUET Admissions and Anticipated Cut-Offs

Following the National Testing Agency’s adoption of CUET for BHU UG admissions since 2022, the university continues to witness intense competition—over 8 lakh aspirants vied for roughly 8,000 seats in 2023.

While the official cut-off list is yet to be declared, education analysts project the following general-category benchmarks:

• BA/B.Sc/B.Com Honours: expect CUET scores between 170–220
• Competitive programmes like BA (Hons) Social Sciences, BCom (Hons), BA LLB (Hons), and BSc (Hons – Math/Bio groups): likely require 290–520 marks out of CUET's maximum range.

Postgraduate Outlook: CUET PG & SET

For PG aspirants, BHU’s expected CUET PG cut-off ranges include:

• Philosophy: ~153 marks
• Mathematics, Sanskrit, LLB: ~184 marks
• Psychology: ~197 marks
• MBA: ~201 marks
  These figures are compiled from preliminary data & previous trends.

The BHU SET (entrance to Central Hindu School) 2025 results and cut-offs are expected later this month, with expected general-category scores around 92 for Class VI, 71 for Class IX, and 74–69 for Class XI streams.

Factors Influencing Cut-Offs

Several variables determine the final cut-offs:

1. Applicant Volume & Test Difficulty: Higher participation and tougher papers tend to elevate cut-offs.
2. Seat Availability vs. Demand: High-demand programmes typically show steeper cut-offs.
3. Reservation Policies & Rounds: Each category (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) sees differential thresholds, adjusted round-wise during counselling.

What’s Next?

• BHU’s UG CAP portal for CUET-based admission is anticipated to go live in late July, after CUET 2025 results are out.
• Official cut-off lists for both UG and PG will follow shortly, allowing students to verify their eligibility for seat allocation.

 Student Guidance

• UG Applicants: Aim for ≥ 290 marks in Social Sciences/BSc programmes; ≥ 350–520 for high-demand courses like BA LLB or BSc Hons.
• PG Aspirants: Target scores above 180–200 to remain competitive in premier programmes.
• SET Aspirations: Class VI hopefuls need 90+ marks; older classes require slightly lower across categories.

Keep track of BHU’s official CAP UG portal in July and the PG admission site post–CUET PG result declaration. That will mark the final step toward confirming your admission.

Bottom line: With high competition continuing, CUET scorers in the 300–500 range are most likely to secure seats in coveted Honours programmes at BHU. Stay ready and watch for the official lists in the coming weeks.
