Cut-Off Marks & Merit List
The WBCAP Merit List 2026 is prepared based on the aggregate marks obtained by candidates in their Class 12 board examinations. There is no separate entrance examination for this centralized admission process. The merit marks are calculated according to the norms specified by the respective universities and the Department of Higher Education. The merit list is published institution-wise, meaning each college releases its own merit list for the courses offered. Candidates should verify the following details on the merit list: name of candidate, category, date of birth, subjects studied in Class 12, marks obtained in Class 12 board examination, merit marks, college name, university name, and academic session. Since cut-off marks vary by college, course, and category, candidates are advised to check the specific merit list of their preferred college to understand the qualifying benchmark. The merit list serves as the primary basis for seat allotment in all rounds, including the upgraded and mop-up rounds.
