Understanding CUSAT CAT Ranks and Cutoffs
CUSAT CAT ranks are determined based on your performance in the exam, and the cutoff ranks are the minimum ranks required to secure admission to various programs and branches. These cutoffs are influenced by several factors:
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: A tougher exam typically leads to lower cutoff ranks, while an easier one can result in higher cutoffs.
- Number of Applicants: A higher number of candidates appearing for the exam increases competition, generally leading to higher cutoffs.
- Availability of Seats: Programs with fewer seats tend to have higher cutoffs due to limited availability.
- Category of the Candidate: Reservation policies play a significant role, with different cutoffs for General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and other categories.
- Previous Year Cutoff Trends: Analyzing past year’s cutoffs provides a valuable indication of expected trends for the current year.
To be included in the CUSAT CAT 2025 rank list, candidates need to score a minimum of 10 marks in Mathematics individually and 10 marks for Physics & Chemistry combined.
