HPU B.Ed CET 2026 Merit List Process

The HPU B.Ed CET merit list is generated based on the HPU B.Ed results. The applicants' HPU B.Ed CET scores are published in decreasing order. Those with a better score are put ahead of the other applicants. The merit list for the HPU B.Ed CET is created depending on the student's performance in the test. The merit list is established following the HPU B.Ed CET criteria.

Declaration of Result and Merit List

Before the result is announced, the key answers submitted by examiners are reviewed by a committee of subject experts immediately following the Entrance Test. If a problem has more than one valid answer, the committee will state this in its report, and if no answer is correct, the committee will also make suggestions to that effect. The panel highlights any printing errors in the questions and key answers and makes relevant comments.

Thus, the Moderation Committee's decision / recommendations are finalised and the outcome and its category-wise list are communicated as scheduled. The result of all applicants who took the admission exam is announced and posted on the university's website where they can view their results and merit. The answer sheet will not be re-checked or re-evaluated.

The Controller of Examinations then creates and notifies a cumulative merit list and category-wise based on the achievements of all qualified applicants in the entrance test, which is uploaded to the university website. The mere assignment of a position on this merit list does not convey any entitlement to admission. However, admission will be granted subject to meeting the eligibility criteria, verification of original certificates / documents, and availability of seats in the relevant colleges at the time of counselling / admission.

The Chairman of Department of Education will receive a copy of the complete merit list to complete the admission / counselling process according to the schedule. After determining their rank / score in the merit list, qualified candidates are urged to stay in touch with the websites of the university to participate in the counselling procedure on time. There would be no separate notification sent to the candidates in this respect. If candidates do not meet the stipulated eligibility requirements, their candidature will be rejected for admission to the B.Ed course.

HPU B.Ed CET 2026 Result – Tie Breaker

The following procedure will be used to break the tie and determine the merit. Suppose two or more candidates receive similar aggregate marks in the B.Ed entrance test. In that case, their admission to the course will be decided per the scores / marks obtained by them in the sequence of segment-wise performance in the entrance test, as follows:

(i) Teaching Aptitude & Attitude 

(ii) Language & Comprehension (Hindi & English) 

(iii) General Awareness (Mainly HP & India) 

(iv) Knowledge of National Commission & Committees of Education 

(v) Logical Reasoning 

If the tie remains after following the criteria above, the older candidate will be given precedence. However, in the case of Ex-Servicemen / Wives / Widows / Wards of Ex-Servicemen / Wives / Widows / Wards of Defence people, their merit must be assessed by giving first preference to Ex-Servicemen who themselves appeared in the admission test.
