Where to consult the Catalonia 2025 cut-off marks

Do you want to know if you have enough marks to enter the university degree you are interested in? Cut-off marks are a key reference to guide you during university pre-enrolment. In this article we explain where to check the cut-off marks in Catalonia for the 2025 academic year, how to interpret them, and which careers have the highest scores this year.

Where to find the official 2025 cut-off marks

The Catalonia 2025 cut-off marks can be officially consulted on the Canal Universitats website of the Generalitat de Catalunya. These grades are published after the first allocation of places (11 July) and are updated with the second (24 July).

 Official website: universitats.gencat.cat

There you will find:

• Complete PDF with all the cut-off marks by degree and university.
• Interactive search engine to filter by university, branch, town or minimum grade.

Other portals such as notasdecorte.es or Betevé.cat also offer useful summaries.

How to interpret the cut-off mark?

The cut-off mark is the lowest grade with which a student has accessed a degree in the last allocation of places. It is not a fixed grade, but depends on:

• The offer of places in the degree.
• The number of applications received.
• The grades of the students who have accessed it.

It is important to know that if the demand for a degree is very high, the cut-off mark goes up. And if the places are not filled, it can go down.

Why haven’t the grades dropped despite the new selectivity?

Although the new PAU 2025 has changed the exam model, the cut-off marks are still high. The reasons:

• High demand: 62,238 students have pre-registered, but there are only 41,866 places available.
• Limited offer on many degrees requested.
• Slightly lower PAU grades, but not enough to lower the cut-off marks, due to competition.

This generates a structural imbalance between supply and demand that means that grades remain above 12 in many grades.

Recommendations to guide you

• Check both the first and second assignments (11 and 24 July).
• Use grade simulators like the one in 3cat:

• Order your preferences well in the pre-enrolment process: put the degree you want first, even if it has a very high mark.
• Have a plan B with alternative options with more affordable grades.
