Previous Year Cut-Off Trends & Percentile Expectations

Unlike state government colleges participating in central counseling (e.g., TS EAMCET), Mahindra University does not release a fixed central cutoff rank list. Instead, admissions are granted dynamically based on merit pools formed from applicant JEE Main percentiles, SAT/ACT scores, and 10+2 performance.
