Qualifying Marks vs Admission Cutoff — Know the Difference
ℹ️ Qualifying marks (minimum to be eligible): General = 20% (30 marks) | SC/ST/BC/PwD = 15% (22.5 marks).
Admission cutoff (actual marks needed for a seat): General = 75-82 marks at UILS. These are two completely different numbers — do not confuse them.
- Qualifying marks only make you eligible — they do not guarantee any seat
- Admission happens based on merit rank — hundreds of students qualify but only top rankers get seats
- Always prepare to score 80+ marks if your target is UILS Chandigarh
- If your target is PURC Ludhiana or Hoshiarpur, 70+ marks is the safe zone
