3. Seat Intake – If seats are limited, competition intensifies and cutoffs rise.

4. Reservation/conversion dynamics – Unfilled reserved seats may shift into general pool, altering cutoff.

5. Past Year Trends / Expectations – Benchmark expectations influence aspirant preparation and outcomes.

6. Quality of applicant profiles – If more candidates have strong academics, work experience, etc., cutoffs become steeper.

7. Policy changes/relaxation – Some years the institute may relax section-wise minimum cut-off to meet shortlisting targets.
