I scored 194 in CUET PG this year in the ECONOMICS subject. I belong to the unreserved category. Can i get into IGIDR this year? Highly unlikely cutoffs will reach 260 like last year but still worried. Thanks

With a score of 194 in CUET PG 2025 for the Economics subject and belonging to the unreserved category, your chances of securing admission to IGIDR (Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research) appear to be quite promising. In the previous admission cycle (2024), IGIDR’s cutoff for the General category was 180 marks, and your score is comfortably above that threshold. While there were concerns last year about cutoffs possibly reaching as high as 260, that scenario was highly unlikely and did not materialize. For 2025, the expected cutoff for Economics at many top institutions, including IGIDR, is projected to be around 172, which further strengthens your position. However, since IGIDR also evaluates students through an interview process, it is important to stay prepared for the next stages. Keep a close eye on the official IGIDR admissions portal for announcements related to interviews or merit lists. Additionally, while your score makes you a strong contender for IGIDR, it would be wise to apply to other reputed institutions like Delhi University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, and Banaras Hindu University, where your score also stands competitive.
