## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
# Dadra & Nagar Haveli + Daman & Diu UT Recruitment – Indicative Category-wise Cutoffs

| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 72–78 marks (72–78%) |
| EWS | 68–74 marks (68–74%) |
| OBC | 65–71 marks (65–71%) |

| ST | 52–58 marks (52–58%) |

**Guidance Notes:**

- The **General-OBC gap** typically spans 7–10 marks, with SC cutoffs approximately 14–18 marks below General, and ST cutoffs 20–24 marks lower; these ranges position most categories within the "Strong contenders—Group B posts" to "Competitive range" bands depending on post vacancies.

- Cutoffs fluctuate based on **vacancy distribution** (Group A vs. B vs. C ratios), difficulty level of the question paper, total applicant pool size, and reservation roster requirements for the specific recruitment cycle.

- For **specialized/higher Group B and Group A posts**, actual cutoffs may shift upward by 5–12 marks across all categories, particularly when technical qualifications or departmental preferences apply; PwD cutoffs remain subject to horizontal reservation norms and may align closer to SC/ST ranges for certain posts.
