The cutoff marks for AIIMS Rishikesh in NEET for SC candidates are determined by multiple factors. Understanding these factors is important to scale up the level of preparation required. Below are the key elements influencing the cutoff.
NEET exam difficulty level: The difficulty level of the NEET question paper plays an important role in determining cutoff marks.When the NEET exam is tough, the overall scores of candidates tend to drop. This results in lower cutoff marks for all categories, including SC. On the other hand, if the paper is relatively easier, candidates score higher ultimately leading to an increase in the cutoff.
Number of applicants: The total number of SC candidates appearing for NEET also impacts the cutoff. If more SC candidates apply, the competition for limited reserved seats increases, thus increasing the cutoff higher.
Reservation: AIIMS Rishikesh follows a particular reservation system wherein certain seats are reserved for SC candidates. Any increase in the total number of seats at AIIMS Rishikesh can provide more opportunities and potentially lower the cutoff.
