AEES PGT Cut-Off 2026 and Qualifying Marks

The AEES PGT cut-off can mean the minimum CBT percentage, the lowest score shortlisted for a teaching demonstration or the closing score for selection. Notification 01/2026 gives the qualifying percentages and shortlist rules. Use a result or panel notice for an actual subject and category closing score when AEES releases it.

AEES PGT CBT qualifying marks for 2026

The notice allows AEES to lower the qualifying percentage when there are too few qualifying candidates in a category and post. It specifies floors of 55% for UR/EWS and 49% for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD for that provision. Use the original percentages unless AEES announces a change that applies to your category and subject.

Why the shortlist can close higher

AEES calls candidates in merit order within limits linked to the number of vacancies. For example, the published rule provides for five candidates to be called against one UR vacancy. Candidates who qualify the teaching skill test are then empanelled in CBT merit order. Compare only figures for the same subject, category and stage.
