Hi Aspirant,
Obviously it does.
If more number of candidates appear,then the chances of more number of students scoring above a specific value of marks increases.Thus,as the number of candidates increase,the probability of the cutoff going higher increases as many students are there in a specific marks range.Also,seeing that number of seats are limited,it only results in the further increase of cutoff.
Hope this helps.
