The rank for DCECE is prepared based on the marks obtained in the entrance test. Students must note that marks are calculated as per the marking scheme from DCECE exam pattern. That means, for each correct answer, 5 marks are given, and there is no negative marking for incorrect responses.

While preparing DCECE rank list, the top scorers are ranked with highest scores and low performers with lowest score. If two or more candidates share the same marks, then the authorities uses tie-breaking policy by considering the marks of each subject. If the tie still persists, then candidate's of older age will be given preference. In addition, along with UR rank, the exam conducting body, also prepares separate rank list for each category, depending on the certificates provided.

The expected cutoff for DCECE can vary depending on the college, branch, category, and DCECE question paper trends. If we look at the past DCECE cutoff trends, then-
