Changu Kana Thakur Arts, Commerce and Science College | Cut-Off Details | Vidyavision

Changu Kana Thakur Arts, Commerce and Science College (CKT), New Panvel in Raigad, operates admissions primarily on a merit-based system tied to Class 12 (for UG) or graduation marks (for PG), without centralised entrance exams like CUET for most programs. As an autonomous college affiliated with the University of Mumbai, it releases multiple category-wise and division-wise (aided vs. unaided) merit lists rather than fixed "cut-offs," with final selection depending on seat availability, applicant pool, and reservation quotas. Specific numerical cut-off data for recent years (2022-2025) is not publicly detailed on major portals like Shiksha or CollegeDunia, but trends indicate competitive percentages around 45-60% for general category UG seats, lower for reserved categories, based on historical admission notices and eligibility norms.

Admission Criteria Overview

Admissions follow a structured, merit-driven process via the college's online portal (enrollonline.co.in/CKT) and Mumbai University's autonomous enrollment system (muugadmission.samarth.edu.in). Key criteria include:

• UG Programs (BA, B.Com, B.Sc, B.Com A&F, B.Sc IT/CS/Biotech, BMS, etc.): Minimum 45% aggregate in Class 12 from recognised boards (Maharashtra State Board, CBSE, ICSE, etc.), with subject-specific requirements (e.g., Science stream for B.Sc). Aided seats prioritise higher merit; unaided divisions fill remaining applicants.
• PG Programs (MA, M.Com, M.Sc): Graduation in a relevant discipline with 50-55% aggregate; some courses like M.Sc may involve departmental tests or interviews.
• Reservation Policy: Follows the Maharashtra govt. quotas (SC/ST/OBC/EWS, 13-52% relaxation in merit), with separate lists for aided/unaided divisions.
• Selection Process: Online application → Merit list publication (3-5 rounds) → Document verification → Fee payment. No major entrance exams, except Mumbai University-specific for select PG (e.g., MAH CET mentioned in older data).

Seats are limited (e.g., ~240 for BA, varying for B.Com/B.Sc), making early application critical.
