Haridev Joshi University of Journalism and Mass Communication Cut Off Details

Haridev Joshi University of Journalism and Mass Communication (HJU), Jaipur, determines admissions through a merit-based system combining an entrance test (70% weightage) and qualifying exam marks (30%), rather than traditional fixed cut-offs like national exams. Category-wise reservations follow Rajasthan state norms (SC:16%, ST:12%, OBC-NCL:21%, MBC:5%, EWS:10%, PwD:5%), influencing merit list ranks, with iterative lists until seats fill. Specific score cut-offs are rarely published publicly; instead, provisional merit lists by form number reveal trends from entrance performance.

Admission Criteria

Eligibility requires minimum 48% in qualifying exams (relaxed 5-16% for reserved categories), with entrance test comprising 50 MCQs (100 marks, GK/media aptitude/language, no negative marking).
Merit formula: (Normalized entrance score × 0.7) + (Qualifying % × 0.3); top ranks secure seats via counseling.
Programs like BA-JMC (90-120 seats), MA variants (30 seats each), and PG Diplomas use the same Haridev Joshi University of Journalism and Mass Communication Entrance Test (HJUET); PhD via HJUPAT.
Supernumerary seats (NRI/foreign:15%) and weightage (sports/NCC up to 6%) adjust effective cut-offs lower for qualifiers.

Previous Year Cut-Off Trends

Haridev Joshi University of Journalism and Mass Communication does not release official score-based cut-offs, but merit lists from 2025-26 provide rank/form number insights, indicating competitive scores around 60-80% for general category top seats (estimated from 100-mark test).

Trends show UR dominating early lists, reserved categories filling via later rounds; seats lapse if minimum cohort (10-30) unmet.

2025-26 Merit List Highlights (BA-JMC, Provisional 1st List, July 12)

Category	Top Form Nos. (indicative of merit)	Seats Filled (Est.)
Unreserved	2524, 2472, 2445, 2638, 2525	50+
OBC/SC/ST	Subsequent lists (e.g., 3rd: Aug 2)	Progressive

MA Media Studies (2025-26, Provisional Lists)

List	Category	Sample Toppers (Form No./Name)	Notes
1st (Jul)	UR	2415 (Ganesh K Prajapati), 2636	High entrance scores (~70+)
2nd (Jul 22)	Mixed	2514 (Gurdeep Bishnoi)	OBC/EWS entry
3rd (Aug)	Reserved	Vikram Singh Rajput (New Media variant)	Lower merit threshold

Past years (2024-25): Similar patterns; 1st lists closed ranks ~top 30-50 forms per program, with UR needing ~65+ composite score est., dropping to 50-55% by 4th-7th lists.
Category-wise: SC/ST often 10-20% lower effective merit due to relaxations; out-of-state candidates face 60% qualifying minimum.

Exam-Wise and Category-Wise Trends

BA-JMC: High competition (120 seats); UR cut-off est. 65-75/100 entrance (2025), OBC ~60-70, SC/ST ~50-60; later lists accommodate ~80% seat fill.
MA Programs (Media Studies, Electronic Media, etc.): 30 seats; tighter—UR ~70-80/100 (1st list), reserved ~55-65; New Media saw 3rd list extensions.
PG Diplomas: Less competitive (20-30 seats, self-financed); merit ~50+ composite.
Trends: Scores decline 10-15% per subsequent list; 2025 saw extensions to Aug 21 (7th list) due to vacancies.
Females/SC/ST get tuition waivers, indirectly aiding access.
Rajasthan domicile preferred (75% seats); sports weightage drops UR cut-off by 5-6%.

Factors Influencing Cut-Offs

Higher applicant pools (300-500/program) from Jaipur's media hub raise bars; NEP lateral entry/merit migration adds flexibility.
No counseling cut-off drops below eligibility (48%); unfilled seats reallocate.
Monitor hju.ac.in/announcements_en.html for real-time lists—2026 expected June-July, mirroring 2025 (app opens Jun, test Jul).
Student forums note composite scores above 60 guarantee early rounds for UR.

Program	Est. UR 1st List (Composite %)	SC/ST Trend (Later Lists)	Seats
BA-JMC	65-75	50-60	90-120
MA Media	70-80	55-65	30
PG Diploma	55-65	45-55	20-30
