- Subject-specific variation: High-demand subjects (English, Mathematics, Science) see cutoffs at the upper end of ranges; languages and social studies may settle 5-10 marks lower within the same category.
- Year-on-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy count, paper difficulty, and candidate pool strength; a difficult paper can depress cutoffs by 8-15 marks across all categories, while increased vacancies marginally lower thresholds by 3-8 marks.
