Factors Affecting DEEET 2026 SC Category Cutoff

SC category closing scores and ranks shift from year to year. The key factors that influence the DEEET cutoff for SC students are listed below.

  • Volume of SC applicants: More SC students appearing in DEEET increases competition for limited reserved seats and can push closing scores upward in popular branches.
  • Paper difficulty level: A harder exam brings down raw scores across all categories, which generally lowers the numeric cutoff without significantly changing the rank threshold.
  • Branch popularity: Computer Science and Technology consistently draws more SC applicants, keeping its closing score the highest among all branches every year.
  • Number of reserved vacancies: Branches with fewer SC seats such as Architectural Assistantship and Food Processing Technology fill their quota faster, so the effective closing score remains low relative to more sought-after branches.
  • Multiple counselling rounds: Seats vacated after the first allotment re-enter the pool in later rounds, which can lower the effective closing rank for SC students who apply in Round 2 or Round 3.

The table below compares approximate SC category closing score ranges across three DEEET cycles for the major branches at TIT Narsingarh. The gradual upward trend in Computer Science and Technology reflects growing branch demand among SC students in successive DEEET cycles.

Branch SC Cutoff 2024 (Approx. Marks/400) SC Cutoff 2025 (Approx. Marks/400) SC Expected Cutoff 2026 (Marks/400)
Computer Science and Technology 90–115 95–125 100–130
Electrical Engineering 70–95 75–100 80–105
Civil Engineering 65–90 70–95 75–100
Mechanical Engineering 60–85 65–90 70–95
Automobile Engineering 50–75 55–80 60–85
Food Processing Technology 40–65 45–70 50–75

Figures for 2024 and 2025 are approximate estimates derived from SC merit list rank range patterns. 2026 figures are projected based on those trends. Verify previous year official data at highereducation.tripura.gov.in.
