Factors that influence the marks-to-rank correlation

Exam difficulty: Based on the NEET 2025 difficulty level, a more difficult paper tends to bring down overall scores, which can improve ranks for the same marks in comparison to previous years.
Number of candidates: Fewer test-takers can minimise competition, possibly improving ranks for the same score.
Relative performance: The performance of other students affects your rank even if your marks are the same
Number of Seats Available: Increase in seats → more students can get in → cut-off may slightly reduce
