The expected cut-off trends for 2026 indicate competitive benchmarks across categories:

• General Category: Higher threshold due to increased applicant volume and limited seat intake.

• OBC / EWS Categories: Moderate cut-offs, closely following the General category score band.

• SC / ST Categories: Relaxed cut-off standards in accordance with government reservation rules.

Following the result declaration, successful candidates on the merit list will be called for the counselling and document verification phase. The counselling schedule will be coordinated by respective constituent units of NCERT, including:

• RIE Ajmer

• RIE Bhopal

• RIE Bhubaneswar

• RIE Mysuru

• RIE Nellore

Seat allotment will be strictly finalized based on candidate merit ranks, category reservations, regional eligibility, and seat availability across the participating institutes. Candidates are recommended to keep all original certificates, mark sheets, category certificates, and printed rank cards ready for verification.
