- Number of Applicants: With over 3 lakh students appearing for BITSAT, the competition density affects the closing ranks.
- Difficulty Level: A tougher exam paper typically leads to lower cutoffs across all campuses.
- Seat Matrix: Any changes in the number of seats for specific branches, like the new "Mathematics & Computing" branch, impact others.
- Campus Preference: The Pilani campus consistently remains the primary choice, followed by Goa and Hyderabad.
- Iteration Dynamics: Many students vacate seats for IITs during JoSAA counselling, leading to a drop in cutoffs during later iterations (4 to 7).
- Zero Reservation: Since all seats are open to everyone, the general merit cutoff remains higher than at government institutions.
