UGC NET Computer Science Cut Off 2026: The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the UGC NET June 2026 Computer Science and Applications Cut Off along with the subject-wise and category-wise cut-off marks. Computer Science and Applications is listed under Subject Code 087 in the official cut-off document. Candidates can check the category-wise cut-offs for JRF, Assistant Professor and PhD Only below.
For UGC NET Computer Science and Applications 2026, the Unreserved category cut-off is 214 marks for JRF, 180 marks for Assistant Professor and 158 marks for PhD Only. The OBC (NCL) and EWS JRF cut-offs are 200 marks, while the SC and ST JRF cut-offs are 188 and 182 marks, respectively.
The official UGC NET June 2026 Computer Science and Applications Cut Off has been released by NTA. The cut-off marks are published separately for different categories and qualification levels.
| Category | JRF Cut Off | Assistant Professor Cut Off | PhD Only Cut Off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unreserved | 214 | 180 | 158 |
| OBC (NCL) | 200 | 162 | 146 |
| EWS | 200 | 162 | 142 |
| SC | 188 | 156 | 140 |
| ST | 182 | 154 | 138 |
The above figures are the official final cut-off marks released by NTA for UGC NET June 2026 Computer Science and Applications (Subject Code 087).
The JRF cut-off represents the minimum marks required to qualify for the Junior Research Fellowship category in Computer Science and Applications.
The Unreserved JRF cut-off is 214 marks. The cut-off for OBC (NCL) and EWS candidates is 200 marks each. For SC and ST candidates, the JRF cut-offs are 188 and 182 marks, respectively.
| Category | JRF Cut Off 2026 |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 214 |
| OBC (NCL) | 200 |
| EWS | 200 |
| SC | 188 |
| ST | 182 |
Among the five major categories, the Unreserved category has the highest JRF cut-off, while the ST category has the lowest.
Candidates qualifying for Assistant Professor eligibility must meet the category-wise cut-off released by NTA.
The Unreserved category cut-off is 180 marks. The OBC (NCL) and EWS cut-offs are 162 marks each, followed by 156 marks for SC and 154 marks for ST.
| Category | Assistant Professor Cut Off 2026 |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 180 |
| OBC (NCL) | 162 |
| EWS | 162 |
| SC | 156 |
| ST | 154 |
NTA has also released the cut-off for candidates qualifying under the PhD Only category.
For Computer Science and Applications, the PhD Only cut-off is 158 marks for Unreserved candidates. The OBC (NCL) cut-off is 146 marks, while EWS candidates have a cut-off of 142 marks. The SC and ST cut-offs are 140 and 138 marks, respectively.
| Category | PhD Only Cut Off 2026 |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 158 |
| OBC (NCL) | 146 |
| EWS | 142 |
| SC | 140 |
| ST | 138 |
The official cut-off shows a clear variation across categories and qualification levels. The Unreserved category has the highest cut-off across JRF, Assistant Professor and PhD Only.
For JRF, the Unreserved cut-off is 214 marks, which is 32 marks higher than the ST cut-off of 182 marks. For Assistant Professor, the difference between the Unreserved and ST cut-offs is 26 marks. For PhD Only, the difference is 20 marks.
The OBC (NCL) and EWS categories have the same JRF cut-off of 200 marks and the same Assistant Professor cut-off of 162 marks. However, the EWS PhD Only cut-off is 142 marks compared with 146 marks for OBC (NCL).
The earlier version of this page contained expected cut-off estimates based on the paper's difficulty level, student feedback and previous-year trends. Since NTA has now released the final cut-off, those estimates should no longer be used to determine qualification.
The earlier expected Unreserved JRF cut-off was 190–200 marks, whereas the official June 2026 JRF cut-off is 214 marks.
Similarly, the earlier expected NET cut-off range was 170–180 marks, while the official Assistant Professor cut-off for the Unreserved category is 180 marks.
Candidates should therefore rely on the official NTA cut-off rather than previously published expected ranges.
The final UGC NET Cut Off is determined after the examination and result-processing process. Factors that can influence the subject-wise and category-wise cut-off include:
Difficulty level of the examination
Number of candidates appearing for Computer Science and Applications
Overall performance of candidates
Number of candidates qualifying in each category
Reservation and category-wise distribution
Number of available qualifying slots
Applicable UGC NET qualification rules
Since the final cut-off has now been released, candidates should use the official NTA figures as the authoritative benchmark.
