The American College Cutoff 2026
For 2026 UG admissions, The American College Madurai continues a merit-driven selection based on HSC aggregates. Aided programs are likely to fill quickly, while self-financed streams may see slightly relaxed thresholds in later rounds. Category-wise relaxations follow Tamil Nadu norms, with OBC/BC receiving 3–5% easing and SC/ST maintaining a 40% minimum. General category last selected percentages are expected to rise modestly, e.g., B.Sc. Mathematics at 53–55% and B.A. English at 51–53%.
