Cut-off marks are a crucial element of any college entrance process. These act as a benchmark to determine if students qualify to pass through certain courses. Students can be much better prepared with regard to their applications if they know the cut-off trends and factors responsible for cut-off ranges. This is a guide that, in as much detail as possible, covers cut-off marks about a particular college so that readers can understand their significance and how cut-offs are calculated.
Cut-Off Details
Current Year Cut-Offs
The category- and course-specific cut-offs for the current academic year are shown in the following table:

Comparison with Previous Year
Here is a comparison of the cut-offs from the prior year to help you understand the trends:

Previous Year Trends
The trend over the last couple of years is replete with significant patterns and changes in cut-off values. For instance, while B.Tech cut-offs seem to be quite polarized on one end of the scale with regard to higher cut-offs, the bar has gradually been raised each year across the board. This means cut-offs rise every year and are increasing. This is due to competition coupled with the demand for courses in engineering. The slight increases in cut-offs of other courses generally represent rising academic standards.
Detailed Analysis of Trends
- B.Tech: The cut-off in B.Tech has gradually gone up over the last five years. This could be because every year, a large number of students are applying for a limited number of seats available in engineering courses. Cut-offs in B.Tech might also be an indicator of better performance among students in entrance exams.
- B.Sc: The cut-off for the B.Sc courses also increases. This can be attributed to the fact that most people opt for the science courses; therefore, more students pursue research careers and technology careers.
- B.Com: The cut-off for the B.Com course has marginally increased every year and has, on the whole, been stable. This stability would indicate the fact that commerce courses are in constant demand, and the students had performed well.
- BA: The cut-off for BA courses has been moderately increased, which is an earnest sign of the balanced demand for arts courses and steady performance by students.
Factors Affecting Cut-Offs
Many factors determine the cut-off marks every year:
- No. of applicants: The more the applicants, the higher the cut of. The reason for this is that the higher the number of students competing for the same number of seats the competition becomes keen.
- Conduct of the exams: How difficult the entrance exam may be, determines the cut off marks. The easier the entrance exam, the higher the cut of as many students are bound to score.
- A method, which is frequently used, is to set previous years' cut-offs. This involves using past and previous years to compete.
- Seats: The seat availability in a particular course further decides the cut-off. As there are not so many seats in famous courses, the cut-off rises sometimes that high.
- Reservation Policies: There are quotas for various categories-SC/ST/OBC/EWS-which also affect the cut-offs of those marks. Cut-off marks for students of the reserved categories are different from the cut-offs prepared for the general category.
- Applicants' Performance: The performance of students in the entrance exam as a whole may determine the cut-off. If most of the students have performed well, it's supposed to be higher.
Reservation/Quota Info
Cut-off determinants reservation policies. Please, for your better understanding, have a look at the following:
- General Category- no reservations,
- OBCs-mostly 27 percent reservations
- SC/ST-15 percent to 7.5 percent reservations
- EWS -10 percent reservations, economically weaker sections
- PwD-General category reservation with extra reservations for persons with disabilities.
Impact of Reservation on Cut-Offs
Reserving policies allow students of all categories to get proper education in an unbiased manner. These cut-offs, especially for the reserved categories SC/ST/OBC, are likely to be much lower than that of the general category; hence, more scope is given to the students belonging to those categories to get admitted into that university.
