Indicative cutoff (estimate, not official)
Indicative cutoff bands below are estimates from score bands, not official. The official cutoff comes with the result.
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 95-105 marks (47.5-52.5%) |
| EWS | 90-100 marks (45-50%) |
| OBC | 85-95 marks (42.5-47.5%) |
| SC | 75-85 marks (37.5-42.5%) |
| ST | 70-80 marks (35-40%) |
| PwD | 65-75 marks (32.5-37.5%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 10-15 marks above OBC and 20-25 marks above SC/ST categories. EWS cutoffs settle 5-10 marks below General in most years.
- Year-on-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate ±5-8 marks depending on paper difficulty, vacancy count, and candidate pool strength. Easier papers push cutoffs toward 52-54% (General), while tougher editions may settle at 45-48%.
- Mains qualification context: These cutoffs represent minimum qualifying marks for Prelims clearance. Approximately 15-20 times the advertised vacancies are shortlisted, so competitive scores for premium services (ACS) typically require 10-20 marks above basic cutoff thresholds.
