The Cutoff Rank is roughly the rank of the last student who got a seat in a programme. If your rank is better than a programme’s cutoff rank, you’d very likely have gotten in.
You might also hear this called a “closing rank” — that’s the official term used in admission counselling documents. Same thing.
The number shown on this site is each programme’s official cutoff from the most recent admission round we have on record (2026).
Why this number matters
Every chance label you see — Very Likely, Likely, Possible, A Stretch, Unlikely — comes directly from comparing your rank to this one number.
What this doesn’t cover
Cutoff ranks move every year. This site currently only shows the most recent one we have, not how it’s changed over time. See what this site does and doesn’t cover.
