1. Introduction: Don't Just Qualify, Secure a Seat
If you are preparing for AIAPGET 2026, looking at the 2025 results is the best strategy.
Why? Because the 2025 exam (held on July 4, 2025) set a new benchmark. While the paper was "Moderate," the cutoff for Government Seats skyrocketed.
Many students confuse "Qualifying Marks" (just passing) with "Cutoff Marks" (getting a seat).
In this blog, we decode the Official AIAPGET 2025 Cut Off Marks data to give you a concrete "Safe Score" target for 2026.
2. AIAPGET 2025 Cut Off Marks
First, let's look at the minimum marks required just to be eligible for counselling. NTA released these officially on July 30, 2025.
Category | Percentile | Homeopathy (Min. Marks) | Ayurveda (Min. Marks) |
General / EWS | 50th | 112 | 101 |
OBC / SC / ST | 40th | 96 | 86 |
PwD (General) | 45th | 110 | 94 |
⚠️ Reality Check: Scoring 112 marks only makes you eligible to apply for Private Colleges with high fees. It does NOT get you a Government Seat.
3. Marks vs Rank Analysis 2025 (Govt Seat Reality)
To get into a prestigious institute like NIH Kolkata or NIUM Bangalore, you need a top rank. Based on the 2025 merit list, here is the Marks vs Rank breakdown.
Marks Range (Out of 480) | Expected Rank (AIR) | College Chances |
360+ | Top 50 | NIH Kolkata, NIUM (Stipend Seats) |
330 - 359 | Rank 51 - 200 | Govt Colleges (State Quota / Delhi) |
300 - 329 | Rank 201 - 500 | Govt Aided / Top Private (Low Fees) |
250 - 299 | Rank 500 - 1500 | Private Colleges (Mgmt Quota likely) |
< 200 | Rank 2000+ | Deemed Universities (High Fees) |
4. AIAPGET 2026 Safe Score Target
Based on the inflation in competition, here is your Target Score for AIAPGET 2026 to stay safe.
For NIH / Central Institutes: Target 355+ Marks
For State Govt Colleges (Maharashtra/Kerala/UP): Target 320+ Marks
For Stipend Seats: Target Top 300 Rank
💡 Pro Tip: The "Stray Vacancy Round" in 2025 saw cutoffs dropping slightly, but relying on that is risky. Aim for the First Round Cutoff.
5. Category-Wise Govt Cutoff (Expected for 2026)
If you belong to a reserved category, your "Safe Score" is lower, but not by much.
OBC: 315+ Marks (Almost similar to General)
SC: 260+ Marks
ST: 230+ Marks
EWS: 310+ Marks
