Counselling for the courses will begin on August 21. With more students securing high scores this year, experts said the cut-off is likely to go up for all categories.

The general category merit list shows 90 students have scored above 700 this year, while the number stood at 39 last year. Similarly, last year, only 379 students scored 650 and above, but the figure has increased to 1,356 this year.

This jump in numbers can also be seen in the merit list for the 7.5% quota (for government school students). The top score under 7.5% quota, which was 569 last year, has shot up to 669 this year.
