IMU CET 2026 Result - Overview
The Indian Maritime University (IMU) is a central university that trains students for careers at sea and in the shipping industry. Every year it holds one common test, the IMU Common Entrance Test (CET), to fill seats in its degree courses across campuses like Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Kochi and its affiliated institutes.
The IMU CET 2026 exam was held on 24 May 2026 in two shifts. The University declared the result on 14 June 2026 and released the official rank list on its website. A few days later, on 17 June 2026, it published the category-wise cut-off percentile for the undergraduate (UG) courses. If you sat the exam, you can now download the result notice from the links above and log in to the exam portal to view and download your personal Rank Card.
What the Rank Card Shows
Your IMU CET 2026 Rank Card is the official proof of your score. It lists your normalised score, your All India Rank, your category rank, and whether you have qualified for counselling. You need your CET hall ticket (application) number and password to log in and download it. Keep a saved copy and a printout, because you must upload or carry it during counselling and admission.
IMU CET 2026 UG Cut-off Percentile
To qualify for the undergraduate courses (except BBA) - that is DNS, B.Sc. and B.Tech programmes - your normalised percentile must be at or above the figure for your category. The official cut-off percentile released by IMU is shown below.
| Category | Cut-off Percentile (UG: DNS / B.Sc. / B.Tech) |
|---|---|
| General (Unreserved) | 60 |
| General - EWS | 54 |
| OBC - NCL | 54 |
| SC | 45 |
| ST | 45 |
Note: this cut-off is only a qualifying bar to enter counselling. Getting a seat still depends on your rank, your course and campus choices, the number of seats, and reservation. The BBA course does not use the CET, so this percentile does not apply to it.
Courses Offered Through IMU CET
IMU CET is the gateway to a range of maritime courses. The main groups are:
| Level | Popular Courses |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate (UG) | B.Tech Marine Engineering; B.Tech Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering; B.Sc. Nautical Science; B.Sc. Ship Building and Repair; Diploma in Nautical Science (DNS) leading to B.Sc. |
| Postgraduate (PG) | MBA (Port and Shipping Management, International Transportation and Logistics Management); M.Tech (Marine and Naval-related branches) |
The BBA course is offered on the basis of Class 12 marks and does not need the CET.
Eligibility - Who Could Apply
For the undergraduate courses, the candidate must have passed Class 12 (10+2) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. For the postgraduate courses, a relevant Bachelor's degree is needed. Each course has its own exact subject and minimum-marks rule, so always read the official IMU prospectus for the final word on eligibility.
Counselling and Seat Allotment 2026
After the result, IMU opened its online counselling portal for admission to UG and PG programmes. Candidates could submit their course and campus preferences from 14 June 2026, and the last date for registration and choice filling was extended up to 18 June 2026 (23:59 hrs). To be considered for a seat at an IMU campus, a candidate had to register, lock their choices, and pay the counselling fee within this window.
Seats are allotted on the basis of your IMU CET rank, your locked preferences, and category reservation, over merit-based rounds. If you took part in counselling, log in to the counselling portal to check your seat allotment result and the reporting or fee-payment steps for your allotted seat.
