Key Factors Affecting IIT Kanpur Cutoffs

• Number of JEE Advanced qualifiers: Total qualified candidates directly impacts closing ranks across all IITs.

• Exam difficulty: A harder paper typically leads to lower raw scores but can shift rank distribution.
• Branch preferences: CSE and related branches consistently attract the highest demand, keeping their cutoffs tight.
• Supernumerary seats: Female-only seats have separate (higher) closing ranks and do not affect gender-neutral cutoffs.
• Institute reputation and placements: Strong placement records and research output sustain demand for IIT Kanpur.
