Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth Cut Off Details

Dr Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth (PDKV), Akola, determines cut-offs primarily through Maharashtra's centralized admission processes for agriculture programs, relying on MHT-CET scores for UG courses like B.Sc. Agriculture and B.Tech Agri Engineering, MCAER PG-CET for PG programs, and merit lists for diplomas. Cut-offs vary by category, course, college under PDKV (e.g., Akola main campus vs. sub-centers like Yavatmal), and CAP rounds, with Maharashtra domicile candidates prioritized and ICAR quotas using AIEEA ranks.

Admission Criteria Overview

Admissions follow a multi-stage CAP system managed by MCAER/State CET Cell:

  • UG (B.Sc. Agri Hons, B.Tech): MHT-CET (PCB/PCM) percentile as primary criterion (70% weightage), plus HSC aggregate (30%). Minimum eligibility: 50% in 10+2 (40% reserved). Seats: 80% state quota, 20% All India/ICAR.
  • PG (M.Sc., M.Tech): MCAER PG-CET score (50%) + UG OGPA (50%). Minimum: 6.0/10 OGPA in relevant bachelor's.
  • Diploma: SSC marks merit; weightage for agri background/NCC (up to 10 points).
    Factors influencing cut-offs include applicant pool size, seat matrix (e.g., 120 seats for B.Sc. Agri at Akola), and reservations (SC/ST/OBC/EWS per Maharashtra GRs). Provisional merit lists are published online, with grievance windows before final CAP allotments.

Previous Year Cut-offs (2024-25 Trends)

  • Specific 2025 cut-offs are not fully published as of January 2026 (final CAP rounds typically conclude by September), but provisional merit lists and prior data indicate competitive thresholds for popular courses.
  • Closing ranks for B.Sc. Agriculture at PDKV colleges hovered around 100-150 for general category in recent CAP Round 1, tightening in later rounds.

Data from 2023-24 and early 2025 merit lists show:

2025 trends: M.Sc. Entomology/Plant Pathology saw higher cut-offs (130+ general) due to demand; limited seats (20-40/course).

Exam-wise and Category-wise Trends (2022-25)

  • MHT-CET Trends: UG Agri cut-offs stable at 90+ percentile (general) since 2022, peaking in 2024 amid post-COVID surge. OBC/SC gaps narrow (10-15 percentile), but ST remains lenient. TFWS demands top 1-2% scorers.
  • ICAR-AIEEA (All India Quota): Rank <2000 for UG Agri (2024); converts to PDKV seats via counseling.
  • Category Insights: 52% seats open/reserved horizontal (women/PWD); EWS cut-offs mirror general minus 2-3 points. Agri background adds 5-10 merit points for diplomas.
  • Yearly Shifts: 2023-24: +5% general rise; 2024-25 provisional lists show similar, with Yavatmal sub-campus 20% lower ranks.
  • Factors: 10,000+ applicants statewide for 2,000 Agri seats; droughts inflate competition for resilient crop programs.

Additional Insights

  • Cut-offs for niche courses like B.Sc. Horticulture close lower (16-19% HSC marks equivalent, Rank 120-150).
  • Candidates below cut-off can opt for spot rounds if vacancies persist (5-10% seats).
  • Monitor pdkv.ac.in/admission and cetcell.mahacet.org for 2025 finals/2026 notifications—provisional lists like Yavatmal BT (2025) offer real-time benchmarks.
  • PDKV prioritizes rural Maharashtra applicants, making domicile key for favorable cut-offs.
