- CG TET cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy announcements, paper difficulty level, and the number of qualified candidates required; easier papers push cutoffs upward by 3-5 marks across categories.
- These cutoffs represent **minimum qualifying marks** for certificate eligibility; actual selection for teaching positions depends on separate recruitment drives with higher merit-based thresholds.
