The SGBAU MBA cut off 2026 is expected to range between 60–85 percentile for the All India (AI) category based on MAH MBA CET. Other categories are likely to follow similar trends, with EWS expected at 35–70, GOPENO at 70–90, GOBCH at 60–80, and GSCH at 50–65 percentile.

Category	MAH MBA CET Percentile 2026 (Expected)
AI	60 - 85
EWS	35 - 70
GNTAH	60 - 75
GNTCH	45 - 80
GOBCH	60 - 80
GOBCO	60 - 85

GOPENO	70 - 90
GSCH	50 - 65
GSCO	60 - 85
GSTH	20 - 65
GSTO	55 - 70

Summary:

The wide range for categories like GSTH and GNTCH (e.g., 20-65 for GSTH) indicates a significant difference between the highly competitive first round and the later mop-up rounds.
The GOPENO category, consistently demanding the highest cutoff (70-90 expected), underscores its high competition due to limited unreserved seats and high applicant quality.
Categories with a narrow range, such as GSCH (50-65 expected), suggest a more stable demand pattern throughout the counseling process.
General categories (GOPENH/O) and AI quotas remain the most challenging to secure, requiring candidates to target an MAH MBA CET percentile above 80.

SGBAU MAH MCA CET Cutoff 2026 for MCA (Expected)

The SGBAU MCA cut off 2026 is expected to range between 60–90 marks for the All India (AI) category based on MAH MCA CET. Other categories are also expected to follow similar trends, with GNTDH at 65–80, GOBCH at 70–85, GOBCO at 20–90, and GSCO at 5–90 marks, depending on seat availability and competition.

Category	MAH MCA CET Cutoff 2026 (Expected Marks)
AI	60 - 90
GNTDH	65 - 80
GOBCH	70 - 85
GOBCO	20 - 90
GOPENO	25 - 90
GSCO	5 - 90
GSTO	15 - 85

Summary:

The expected range for top categories like GOPENO (25-90) suggests a major admission opportunity in later rounds for candidates with moderate scores, provided seats remain vacant after higher-ranked candidates decline.
The narrowest competitive band is for GNTDH (65-80), indicating relatively consistent demand and intake compared to other categories throughout the counseling process.
The AI expected range (60-90 marks) closely mirrors the 2025 minimum and maximum, suggesting a stabilization of the cutoff from the extreme high of 2023.
Candidates in the GOBCO and GSCO categories benefit most from the multi-round system, as their cutoffs are expected to drop significantly in subsequent rounds (down to 20 and 5 marks, respectively).

Summary:

GOPENO Highest Demand: The GOPENO category recorded the highest Round 1 cutoff at 88.78 percentile, confirming it as the most competitive category for the SGBAU MBA program in 2025.
Significant Round-to-Round Drop: Most categories, including AI (79.8 to 64.91) and EWS (64.96 to 40.76), saw substantial drops in the closing percentile from Round 1 to the final round, indicating seats were filled by progressively lower-ranked candidates.
Inconsistent GSTH Trend: The GSTH category showed an unusual trend, dropping drastically in Round 2 (23.69) but rising in Round 3 (62.81). This suggests quota-specific seat allocations or high-scoring candidates opting for SGBAU only in the last round.
High Reservation Category Competition: Even categories like GOBCO and GSCO had competitive initial cutoffs (80.87 and 84.76 respectively), highlighting the strong performance of candidates within the reservation quotas.

Summary:

Highest Initial Cutoff: The GOPENO and GSCO categories shared the highest Round 1 cutoff marks at 89.13, indicating these were the most preferred quotas initially for high-scoring candidates.
Cutoff Plunge in Final Rounds: Categories like GOBCO, GOPENO, and GSCO experienced dramatic drops, with the closing marks falling to 21.01, 29.9, and 7.94 respectively by Round 4. This highlights the high number of unfilled seats or the movement of high-scorers to other institutes.
Cutoff Rise in Intermediate Rounds: The GNTDH and GSTO categories show an increase in cutoff marks from Round 1 to Round 2 (e.g., GNTDH from 69.71 to 76.92). This rare trend suggests late-round participation by high-scoring candidates from these specific reserved groups.
AI Category Consistency: The All India (AI) cutoff showed a steady decline from 87.21 to 61.28, which is a typical pattern and offers a clear benchmark for candidates competing nationally.

How to Check SGBAU Cutoff 2026

Locate CAP Allotment Status: On the homepage, find the section for the latest admission round's Allotment Status or Cutoff List.
Select Institute and Round: Choose the specific course (e.g., MBA or MCA) and the counseling round (Round I, II, or III/IV). You will need to filter for Sant Gadge Baba Amravati University or its department.

Factors Influencing SGBAU Cutoff 2026

The SGBAU cutoff is not a static figure; it is recalibrated annually based on prevailing admission dynamics, affecting courses like the SGBAU MBA cut off and SGBAU MCA cut off.

Total Number of Applicants: A direct correlation exists: if more eligible candidates apply for a course, the competition rises, inevitably pushing the closing cutoff score higher.
Entrance Exam Difficulty: The performance of the collective applicant pool hinges on the difficulty of the MAH-CET or MAH MCA CET paper. A tougher exam generally results in lower scores and a corresponding drop in the cutoff percentile/marks.
Availability of Seats (Seat Matrix): The sanctioned intake capacity for a specific program and category within the University Department drastically influences the cutoff. Fewer seats for a high-demand course lead to a significantly higher cutoff.
Candidate Preferences: The ranking of SGBAU during the CAP process also plays a role. If a large number of top-scorers select SGBAU as their first preference, the Round 1 cutoff will increase substantially.
