## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General (OC) | 105–125 / 200 (52.5–62.5%) |
| EWS | 100–115 / 200 (50.0–57.5%) |
| OBC | 95–110 / 200 (47.5–55.0%) |
| SC | 80–95 / 200 (40.0–47.5%) |
| ST | 75–90 / 200 (37.5–45.0%) |
| PwD (across categories) | 65–85 / 200 (32.5–42.5%) |

**Guidance:**
- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 10–15 marks (5–7.5%), with SC/ST cutoffs falling 20–30 marks below General. Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy count, exam difficulty, and application-to-post ratio—higher vacancies or tougher papers lower cutoffs by 5–10 marks.
- Physical standards and medical fitness eliminations post-written exam significantly impact final merit list composition; written cutoffs represent minimum qualifying thresholds, not final selection guarantees.
- District-wise preferences and local reservation policies may create micro-variations; these figures reflect state-level aggregate patterns observed in recent APSLPRB recruitment cycles.
