APJEE 2026 cut offs represent the minimum qualifying marks or ranks required for candidates to participate in counselling and secure admission into diploma programs in engineering, pharmacy, and hotel management across Arunachal Pradesh polytechnics. These cut offs, determined post-exam by the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education (DHTE), vary by category, course, institute, and counselling round, reflecting exam difficulty, applicant volume, and seat matrix.
With a maximum score of 600 (150 MCQs at 4 marks each, -1 for wrong answers), general category cut offs typically range 240-360 marks (40-60% raw score), while reserved categories (APST/ST/SC) see 180-300 marks due to 80% state quota reservations. Cut offs release alongside merit lists on apdhte.nic.in, guiding choice filling in online counselling rounds.
Multiple dynamics shape annual cut offs for APJEE 2026.
Trends show 10-15% fluctuations yearly, with first-round cut offs dropping 20% in mop-up rounds.
