Hi aspirant.!!

Cutoffs are nothing but the marks obtained by the last student being declared qualified.

To make it more clear, let's take an example.

Suppose 1000 students sit in an exam. Number of students which need to be called for counselling is suppose 500. Now, A rank list is prepared on the basis of total marks obtained. The marks of the 500th student is taken as the cutoff.

For subject-wise cutoffs, the least marks obtained by any of the students among the list of qualified students( top 500 in this example) is taken as the subject cutoff for that individual subject.

And cannot predict the cut-off of any College

Hope this help

Have a nice day
