Cut-offs by university and district

NQC is the UGC's mark for “no qualified candidates” from that district in that round. It can happen for several reasons, so it does not mean the course is closed to the district. Many places are allocated district by district, which is why the same course needs a different Z-score in different districts.

Last year's cut-off is not this year's

Cut-offs move every year. Campus Match reads eight rounds of these tables for your district and estimates your chance at Computer Science and every other course your stream can apply for in the coming round. An estimate, not a promise.
