* The number of seats available: The IET Lucknow MBA program has a limited number of seats.
* The number of applicants: A higher number of applicants with high scores will make the cutoff rank higher.
* The category you belong to: Reservations for different categories (SC, ST, OBC, etc.) affect the cutoff rank.
* Your performance in the entrance exam (now JEE Main): While UPSEE is no longer used, the JEE Main score is now the determining factor. A higher score increases your chances.
* Your performance in the group discussion and personal interview (GD/PI): Many colleges, including IET Lucknow (likely), weigh this significantly.
Therefore, there's no specific UPSEE (or now JEE Main) rank that guarantees admission. To get an idea of the likely cutoff, you should:
* Check IET Lucknow's official website: Look for past year's cutoff ranks, if available. This can give you a rough estimate.
* Contact the IET Lucknow admissions office directly: They can provide the most up-to-date and accurate information.
Keep in mind that the cutoff rank can fluctuate yearly depending on factors mentioned above. Aim for a very competitive rank to maximize your chances.
