Cut-offs expand_more
AUAT does not have one common cutoff mark for all programmes. Admission cutoffs vary by programme, category, merit rank and available seats. A single previous-year cutoff figure could not be confirmed reliably across the Science programmes, so no cutoff number is provided here.
Results expand_more
Aliah University publishes AUAT results and merit ranks after the entrance examinations. For AUAT-2026, the university published the result for the 4-year B.Tech and BCA programmes on July 27, 2026, and the UG and PG merit/rank results were subsequently made available through the admission process.
Candidates can check their result or rank through the university's admission portal using their registered login details. The result or rank is used for the subsequent counselling, seat-allocation and admission process.
AUAT is an admission-specific examination. The result and merit rank are used for admission to the academic session for which the examination was conducted and are not a general score valid for future admission years.
