5 Core Factors Deciding the Cutoff

  • Number of Registered Candidates: A larger applicant pool directly intensifies competition, raising closing percentile thresholds.
  • Question Paper Difficulty Across Shifts: Tougher numerical or analytical papers lower raw marks cutoffs, which are subsequently normalized.
  • Total Sanctioned Seat Intake: Sanctioning of new seats or new institutes (e.g. new IITs/NITs/AIIMS) eases closing rank cutoffs.
  • Candidate Performance Distribution: Concentration of high scores in specific subject domains alters standard deviation in percentile calculations.
  • Horizontal & Vertical Reservation Quotas: Seat reservation rules for EWS (10%), OBC (27%), SC (15%), ST (7.5%), and Female Supernumerary (20%).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) – Cutoff

What is the qualifying cutoff vs admission cutoff for KEAM?
The qualifying cutoff is the minimum score or percentile required to pass the exam and become eligible for counselling. The admission cutoff (closing rank) is the actual rank at which the last seat was filled in a specific college and branch.
Does the KEAM cutoff change across exam shifts or years?

How are category reservations applied in KEAM cutoffs?
Cutoffs are released separately for each quota: General/Open, Other Backward Classes (OBC-NCL), Economically Weaker Sections (GEN-EWS), Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), and Persons with Disabilities (PwD).
