Factors Affecting DAVV CET 2026 Cutoffs
The cutoff for each category and programme is set after the exam and may vary from the expected figures based on the following factors:
- Number of applicants per category: A higher number of OBC or SC applicants increases competition and can push the cutoff upward.
- Exam difficulty level: A harder paper generally lowers the cutoff. If DAVV CET 2026 is tougher than 2025 the cutoffs for all categories will likely fall.
- Seat matrix per category: DAVV follows Madhya Pradesh government reservation norms, with 27 per cent seats for OBC and 15 per cent for SC. Students compete only within their category pool, which reduces relative pressure on the cutoff.
- Tie-breaking policy: If two students score the same marks DAVV uses the qualifying examination score to break the tie. A stronger Class 12 or graduation percentage improves your position in the merit list at the same DAVV CET score.
