HP SET – Himachal Pradesh State Eligibility Test for Assistant Professor Cut Off Marks
Updated 2026Understanding HP SET Cut-Off 2026
The HP SET cut-off marks are the minimum thresholds defined by the Himachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (HPPSC) that a candidate must reach to qualify for the Assistant Professor position. Because the examination covers multiple subjects across two papers, these cut-off scores vary by subject and by the candidate's category.
| Category | Expected Cut-Off Range (Aggregate) |
|---|---|
| General | 40% to 45% |
| Reserved Categories (SC/ST/OBC/PWD) | 35% to 40% |
These percentages represent the aggregate marks required across both Paper I and Paper II. It is important to note that the commission sets these bars to ensure that only candidates with consistent performance qualify. Candidates should monitor the official website closely for the release of the final cut-off list, which is published alongside the result. The cut-off is influenced by factors such as the difficulty of the paper and the total number of participants, though it remains within the general range mentioned above for most cycles.
