## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 78–83 marks (78–83%) |
| EWS | 75–80 marks (75–80%) |
| OBC | 73–78 marks (73–78%) |
| SC | 68–73 marks (68–73%) |
| ST | 65–70 marks (65–70%) |
| PwD (General) | 60–65 marks (60–65%) |
| PwD (OBC) | 58–63 marks (58–63%) |
| PwD (SC/ST) | 55–60 marks (55–60%) |

**Guidance:**

- **Category differential**: General cutoffs typically run 5–10 marks above OBC and 10–15 marks above SC/ST categories. EWS cutoffs align 2–4 marks below General but above OBC benchmarks.

- **Cutoff drivers**: Final cutoffs shift based on paper difficulty (easier papers push cutoffs toward 82–85% for General), total vacancies announced, normalization scores across shifts, and category-wise competition intensity in Delhi region.

- **Selection zone**: Scores in the 75–85% band place candidates firmly in strong selection territory across most categories; below 70% becomes competitive only for reserved categories, while General candidates should target 80%+ for comfort margin.
