Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 72–78 marks (72–78%) |
| EWS | 68–74 marks (68–74%) |
| OBC | 65–71 marks (65–71%) |
| SC | 58–64 marks (58–64%) |
| ST | 52–58 marks (52–58%) |
| PwD | 45–52 marks (45–52%) |
- 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.
