Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 62-72 marks (62-72%) |
| EWS | 58-68 marks (58-68%) |
| OBC | 55-65 marks (55-65%) |
| SC | 48-58 marks (48-58%) |
| ST | 45-55 marks (45-55%) |
| PwD | 40-50 marks (40-50%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 7-10 marks above OBC and 14-17 marks above SC/ST. EWS cutoffs align 4-5 marks below General, reflecting the reservation structure in Gujarat state recruitment.
- Cutoff drivers: Post desirability (Class-2 vs Class-3), application volume, and exam difficulty shift cutoffs ±5-8 marks year-on-year. High-demand clerical/revenue posts push General cutoffs toward 70+, while lower-demand technical posts may settle at 58-65%.
- Competition reality: With GSSSB exams drawing 50-100 applicants per seat, securing Class-2 posts demands General candidates score 68+ (upper quartile), while Class-3 posts remain accessible at 60-65 marks. Reserved category candidates gain meaningful advantage in the 50-65 mark band.
