Jawaharlal Nehru University Combined Entrance Examination for Biotechnology cutoff
The JNU CEEB 2026 cutoff has not been released yet. It will be announced along with the result in late June to early July 2026. Based on previous year trends, the expected General category cutoff is between 130 and 145 out of 240.
Category-wise cutoff marks for GAT-B from 2022 to 2025 are shown below. All scores are out of 240.
- General: 145 in 2025, 127 in 2024, 127.5 in 2023, 112 in 2022.
- OBC-NCL: 104.5 in 2025, 89 in 2024, 88 in 2023, 71 in 2022.
- EWS: 103.5 in 2025, 91 in 2024, 84.5 in 2023, 65 in 2022.
- SC: 80 in 2025, 65 in 2024, 65 in 2023, 60 in 2022.
- ST: 60.5 in 2025, 60 in 2024, 60.5 in 2023, 60 in 2022.
- PwD: 62 in 2025, 64 in 2024, 64 in 2023, 60 in 2022.
The General category cutoff jumped significantly in 2025 to 145, compared to 127 in 2024 and 127.5 in 2023. This suggests higher competition or an easier paper in 2025. SC and ST cutoffs have stayed stable, around 60 to 80 marks across all four years.
A score above 150 out of 240 generally gives a strong chance at top institutions in the General category, based on past trends. Paper difficulty has a major impact on the cutoff. A tougher paper lowers the cutoff, while an easier paper raises it.
