Result format
- Final results: July 7, 2026, on the PGETA portal.
- Format: percentile score, computed across all candidates who attempted any of the three tests.
- The system automatically retains your best score across the attempts you took.
- The exact percentile calculation method is detailed in the PGETA Information Brochure; verify before exam day.
- There is no national rank list. Each participating institute applies its own cut-off and ranking when admitting.
Score validity
A PGETA 2026 score is valid for the 2026-2027 admission cycle by default. Some institutions accept the score for two cycles (2026-27 and 2027-28); this is at each institute's discretion and not centrally guaranteed. If you plan to defer admission by a year, confirm acceptance with the target M.Arch program before the deadline.
How M.Arch programs use PGETA scores
- Most COA-approved M.Arch programs use PGETA percentile as the primary admission filter.
- Institutes set their own minimum cut-off based on seats available and applicant pool that cycle.
- Many programs add an institutional component: portfolio review, written test, or interview.
- Scholarship eligibility (top 100 PGETA scorers, Rs 50,000 over 2 years) is institute-agnostic and disbursed via COA after M.Arch admission.
- State-level CETs (e.g., Maharashtra's M.Arch CET) may run in parallel; some students take both for maximum coverage.
What if your score is borderline?
A weak Test 1 score is not the end of the cycle. You still have two more attempts (June 14, June 28) and the system retains the best score. Use Test 1 to identify your weakest module, spend two weeks on it, then re-attempt. Many serious candidates improve by 8 to 15 percentile points across attempts.
