Factors Affecting CAT Exam Cut off Scores

There are several factors that affect the CAT cut off scores each year. Here's an overview of these factors:

1. Number of CAT Takers: The cut-off scores tend to rise when more candidates take the CAT exam. This is because the competition increases, and MBA colleges aim to select the best candidates from a larger pool.

2. Difficulty Level: The cut-off scores usually decrease if the CAT exam is more challenging. This happens because fewer candidates can achieve high scores.
Lower Difficulty: Conversely, if the exam is easier, the cut-off scores are expected to be higher as more candidates achieve better scores.

3. Number of Seats: An increase in available seats can lead to a lower cut-off since colleges can afford to admit more students. Fewer Seats: With limited seats, the competition is stiffer which results in higher cut-off scores.

4. Reservation Policies: Institutes with lenient reservation policies might have lower cut-off scores for certain categories, affecting the overall cut-off dynamics.

5. Reputation and Rank of the College: Highly reputed colleges often have higher cut-off scores because they attract top-tier candidates with high percentiles. If a college's reputation improves, its cut-off scores are likely to increase as well.
