Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Rajasthan Sanskrit University, Jaipur Cutoffs
The undergraduate, graduate, teacher training, and research programs at JRRSU, Jaipur, all accept new students each year. Like most universities, the admission process is guided by eligibility criteria and cut-off marks. The cut-off for some programs, like professional teacher training and doctoral studies, is based solely on merit in qualifying exams, while for others, it is connected to entrance exams and interviews.
Understanding JRRSU Cut-Offs
Cut-off scores are the bare minimum of points or percentages needed to be admitted to a specific program. At JRRSU, cut-offs changes for different courses:
- Undergraduate programs (Shastri, BA in Sanskrit, Shiksha-Shastri B.Ed.)
- Postgraduate programs (Acharya, MA, MSc Yoga, M.Ed.)
- Research programs (M.Phil. and Ph.D.)
Unlike engineering or medical institutions where centralized counselling is held, JRRSU sets its own cut-offs based on applications, merit, and entrance results.
Factors Determining JRRSU Cut-Offs 2025
Several elements play a role in shaping cut-offs at JRRSU:
- Number of Applicants: A high volume of applications for limited seats usually raises cut-off percentages.
- Exam Difficulty Level: Courses like B.Ed. (Shiksha-Shastri) and M.Ed. require PSST or PSSST entrance tests. If the paper is relatively difficult, cut-offs may drop slightly.
- Seat Availability: Programs with fewer seats, particularly M.Ed. and Ph.D., generally have higher cut-off ranges.
- Category-Based Reservations: The Rajasthan government's reservation policies ensure that SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD candidates receive a reduction in eligibility percentages and cut-off marks
- Past Year Trends: Cut-off ranges usually remain consistent unless there is a sudden spike in applicants.
Expected Cut-Offs for 2025
While the exact cut-offs will only be announced once applications are processed, past records give an approximate range for different programs:
Course | General Category (Expected) | Reserved Categories (Expected) |
Shastri (BA in Sanskrit) | 50–60% in Class 12 | 40–50% |
Shiksha-Shastri (B.Ed.) | 55–65% in PSST | 45–55% |
Acharya (MA in Sanskrit/Philosophy) | 50–60% in Graduation | 40–50% |
M.Ed. | 55–65% (Merit + Entrance) | 45–55% |
Ph.D. | 60–70% (Entrance and Interview) | 50–60% |
Course-Wise Cut-Off Details
Shastri (BA in Sanskrit)
Merit-based admissions are determined by Class 12 grades. Students with Sanskrit as one of their subjects are given preference. The expected cut-off for 2025 ranges between 50–60% for general category students, with a 5–10% relaxation for reserved categories.
Shiksha-Shastri (B.Ed.)
Students must pass the PSST (Pre Shiksha Shastri Test) entrance exam in order to enroll in this professional program. The cut-off is not just about scores but also relative performance since seats are limited. For 2025, cut-offs may range from 55–65% for general students and 45–55% for reserved categories.
Acharya (Postgraduate Programs)
For Acharya (equivalent to MA) and related PG programs in Sanskrit, Philosophy, and Vedic Studies, admissions are usually merit-based. Graduation marks form the basis, with expected cut-offs in the 50–60% range for general candidates.
M.Ed. (Master of Education)
The M.Ed. program requires both merit and entrance performance. As this course has fewer seats, cut-offs are competitive. In 2025, the expected range is 55–65% for general students and 45–55% for reserved categories.
Ph.D. (Doctoral Programs)
Ph.D. admissions involve a written entrance test followed by an interview. Candidates with UGC-NET/JRF may get exemptions. Since this is highly competitive, expected cut-offs for 2025 may be around 60–70% for general students and 50–60% for reserved candidates.
Reservation and Relaxations
JRRSU strictly follows Rajasthan state government reservation rules. Relaxations apply in:
- Eligibility Percentages: Reserved category candidates often receive a 5% relaxation in minimum marks required.
- Cut-Off Scores: Lower cut-offs are set for SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD students.
- Seating: Each category is allocated a specific percentage of seats.
This policy promotes greater participation from underrepresented groups.
Previous Year Cut-Off Trends
Trends from prior years indicate that cut-offs for merit-based undergraduate and graduate programs stay mostly constant, with only minor variations based on the volume of applicants. Professional programs, such as Shiksha-Shastri and M.Ed., have higher cut-offs due to limited seats and competitive entrance exams. Ph.D programs consistently have high cut-offs due to research standards and limited intake.
