- Applicant Volume: A higher pool of qualified candidates directly tightens cutoffs, particularly for university constituent colleges.
- Local vs Non-Local Quota: 85% of seats are reserved for candidates belonging to the respective local university area (OU/KU), meaning non-local candidates require much higher ranks to gain entry.
- Stream Demand: The 3-year LLB stream generally attracts a higher number of graduate applicants, resulting in competitive rank ranges compared to 5-year integrated law programs.
- Counselling Round Adjustments: Cutoffs ease noticeably during Phase 2 and subsequent institutional spot rounds as initial allotments are either finalized or vacated.
