- Number of Candidates Applied: Number of applications also matters in deciding the cutoffs for AP EAMCET.
- Seat Availability: More seats may lead to lower cutoffs while limited seats may increase the cutoff, making admission tougher.
- Previous Year Trends: Cutoffs can be based on previous year cutoff trends.
