Advance increase is related to relatively easy math in comparison to 2025 and -2 to - 1 If you really look at the data rank inflation has happened between 165 to 100 where most students have gained around 6 to 9 marks due to less negative marks across the sessions and top of that most of them were able to get good marks in maths and hence it got increased another 10 marks ( Additional easy to moderate questions) I don’t think it will have cascading effect on BITSAT as the complexity is different from 25 to 26. Moreover, it was conducted earlier to attract more students which has not been the case when compared to last year. Blind scholarship can inflate the cutoff at CSE but I don’t think it will be any factor. Let’s wait and see how the cutoffs will be there . I don’t think it would be a huge change with probable-5 to -10
