Factors Affecting CG PPHT 2026 EWS Cutoff
The EWS cutoff shifts every year based on several variables. Understanding these helps you set a more accurate preparation target.
- Total EWS applicants: A higher number of EWS-category test-takers pushes the closing rank upward and increases competition for the fixed 10% quota seats.
- Paper difficulty: A tougher exam lowers average scores and brings cutoff marks down. An easier paper raises the minimum marks threshold across all categories.
- Seat intake under EWS quota: The 10% EWS reservation applies to all government-aided institutions. Any increase in total sanctioned seats lowers the closing rank for each programme.
- Student preference patterns: Strong demand for BSc Nursing seats pushes nursing EWS cutoffs up, while lower demand for programmes like BSc Radiography eases their closing ranks.
- Score normalisation: If CG Vyapam applies normalisation across exam sessions, individual adjusted scores may differ slightly from raw scores, affecting the cutoff threshold.
