Mangalore University Cut Off Details

Mangalore University in Dakshina Kannada, Karnataka, determines cutoffs primarily through state-level entrance exams like Karnataka PGCET for PG programs (MBA, MCA) and KCET or merit for UG courses across its campus and affiliated colleges. Previous years' data (2023-2025) shows fluctuating ranks due to seat availability, applicant volume, and category reservations under Karnataka's state quota system, with general category (GM) often facing tighter thresholds.

Admission Criteria

  • Admissions rely on entrance ranks for professional courses—MBA/MCA via PGCET counseling (85% state quota, 15% All India), BTech via KCET, and merit-based lists for arts/science PG/UG using Class 12/graduation percentages post-entrance where applicable.
  • CUET UG/PG scores guide select UG (BSc/BA/BCom) and PG (MA/MSc/MCom) seats, with expected 2025-26 cutoffs at 140-200 marks.
  • Reservations follow UGC/Karnataka norms (SC/ST/OBC up to 50% relaxation).
  • Final allotment occurs via KEA counseling rounds, with spot admissions filling vacancies while affiliated colleges post separate merit lists.
