UPES will release the UPESEAT cutoff 2025 on the official website, upes.ac.in
The University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES) is currently in its final admission phase for B.Tech programs for the academic year 2025-26. The university accepts applicants through its own entrance test, the UPESEAT, as well as through scores from other national-level exams. With the last date to apply for various programs nearing, it is essential for engineering aspirants to understand the UPESEAT cutoff and the different admission pathways.

The UPESEAT cutoff is the minimum score or rank a candidate must achieve in the entrance exam to be eligible for the counselling and seat allotment process at UPES. This score is not static; it is influenced by several key factors each year, including:
- Difficulty of the Exam: A more challenging exam may result in a lower cutoff, and vice versa.
- Number of Applicants: A higher number of candidates applying for a specific branch can increase the competition and raise the cutoff score.
- Availability of Seats: The number of seats available in a particular course and campus also plays a significant role in determining the final cutoff.
- Previous Year's Trends: Past cutoff data is often used as a benchmark to predict the scores required for the current year.
Multiple Admission Pathways to UPES
UPES offers multiple routes for admission to its B.Tech programs, giving aspirants flexibility based on their exam performance.
- UPESEAT Pathway: The primary mode of admission is through the UPESEAT 2025 entrance exam. Candidates must meet the eligibility criteria of a minimum of 50% marks in Class X and XII, with a minimum aggregate of 50% in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics in Class XII.
- JEE Main Pathway: Aspirants with strong performance in the JEE Main 2025 exam can apply directly. UPES has a separate cutoff for JEE Main applicants, who are exempted from the UPESEAT exam and can directly participate in the counselling process.
- Board Merit Pathway: Candidates who have scored 80% or above in both Class X and Class XII, with an 80% aggregate in PCM in Class XII, can also be considered for direct admission.
