Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 90-96 marks (60-64%) |
| EWS | 85-91 marks (57-61%) |
| OBC | 83-89 marks (55-59%) |

- Category differentials: General-OBC gap typically ranges 5-7 marks; General-SC/ST gap around 12-15 marks, reflecting reservation policy in Assam's teacher recruitment framework.
- Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy notifications, paper difficulty, and candidate performance distribution. High competition in urban districts can push General category cutoffs toward the upper range (63-64%), while rural posts may settle at lower thresholds.
- Qualifying vs. Selection: These cutoffs represent minimum qualifying marks for TET certificate eligibility. Actual appointment cutoffs in subsequent recruitment drives are substantially higher (often 75-80%+ for General category), depending on post-specific merit lists.
