Expected 27th WB SET English Cutoff 2025

The 27th WB SET English Cutoff 2025 is expected to be released by the end of January 2026 or early February 2026. It is likely to mimic the past two years’ trends and closely follow the category-wise cutoff for qualification. The general category students are expected to secure at least 55 in the 27th WB SET English to be eligible for selection. Similarly, the cutoff is around 48 for the EWS category, 50-52 for the OBC-A and B categories, 48 for the SC category, 45 for the ST category, 43 for the PwD category, and 43 for the transgender category. The 27th WB State Eligibility Test for English will be conducted on December 14, 2025.

According to the last three years’ cutoff data, the category-wise WB SET English cutoff has increased on a yearly basis. However, the subject-wise cutoff usually differs for each subject category and is determined by factors such as the overall exam difficulty level, the total number of candidates appearing for the test, the 6% qualification rule, the reservation policy, the minimum qualification requirements, overall students’ performance in the test, and past years’ trends. Those who secure the cutoff score across both exam papers and fall under the top 6% among all the qualified candidates will be shortlisted for the selection process.
