Factors Affecting CUET Cutoff Trends

There are several key factors that play a role in influencing the CUET cutoff trends for colleges. Provided below are some of the key factors that influence the cutoff trends for CUET colleges in any particular year:

  • No Normalization: The CUET examination does not have any normalization process. A lack of normalization makes the difficulty for the exam vary by a large margin, especially when it comes to cutoffs. 
  • Total Number of Available Seats: There are a limited number of seats that students will have to compete for. Especially with regards to top DUs and other top colleges. There is a lot of competition. 
  • Total Number of Students: The total number that give the CUET UG exam seems to grow each year. If more students give the exam each year, then there is even more competition for a lack of seats. 
  • Previous Years’ Cutoff Trends: The cutoff trends of colleges from previous years plays a very important role in determining the cutoffs for the current year for students who give the CUET examination. 
  • Courses: The type of course also influences the cutoffs for colleges. Certain colleges have high cutoffs for more popular courses and lesser cutoffs for less popular courses. This helps in maintaining a balance for students having an easier time to get admission into courses with less demand. 
  • Overall Difficulty of the Exam: The difficulty of the CUET exam can change from one year to the next. It can also be influenced by the type of subjects a student gives the exam in. However, the more difficult the CUET exam is, the chances for the cutoffs being lesser for that year also increase.
