- XAT 2025 exam difficulty level - The XAT cutoff will be high if the question paper’s difficulty level is easy. Whereas, if the question paper’s difficulty level is higher, then the cutoff will be set lower.
- Total number participants - If the total number of participants is high which increases the competition as well as the cutoff scores.
- Total availability of seats - The total number of seats offered by an institute affects the determination of cutoff. More number of seats will result in low XAT 2025 cutoff scores.
