## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 65-72 marks out of 100 |
| EWS | 62-68 marks out of 100 |
| OBC | 60-66 marks out of 100 |
| SC | 55-62 marks out of 100 |
| ST | 50-58 marks out of 100 |
| PwD | 45-52 marks out of 100 |

**Guidance:**
- General category cutoffs typically run 5-10 marks higher than OBC and 10-15 marks above SC/ST categories. The gap reflects reservation policy implementation in Union Territory recruitment.
- Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy numbers, application volume, and exam difficulty level. Years with higher vacancies or tougher question papers see cutoffs drop by 3-5 marks across categories.
- Island-specific recruitment often sees ST cutoffs compressed toward lower qualification thresholds given demographic composition; scoring above 60 marks generally ensures competitive standing for reserved categories while General candidates should target 70+ for reasonable selection probability.
