Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|

| EWS | 65-72 marks out of 100 |
| OBC | 63-70 marks out of 100 |

- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 5-8 marks higher than OBC, 13-18 marks above SC, and 18-25 marks above ST categories, reflecting reservation policy implementation.
- Year-on-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy numbers (Bihar Police announces large recruitments periodically), paper difficulty (especially reasoning and general knowledge sections), and total applicant pool strength—easier papers push cutoffs 3-5 marks higher.
- PwD consideration: PwD cutoffs generally align 5-10 marks below the corresponding social category baseline; final selection depends on horizontal reservation availability and medical fitness clearance.
