## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 52-58 marks out of 100 |
| SEBC (OBC) | 48-54 marks out of 100 |
| SC | 42-48 marks out of 100 |
| ST | 38-44 marks out of 100 |
| PwD (General) | 36-42 marks out of 100 |
| PwD (Reserved) | 32-38 marks out of 100 |

**Guidance:**
- The typical gap between General and SEBC cutoffs is 4-6 marks, while SC/ST cutoffs are generally 10-14 marks lower than General category due to reservation provisions.
- Cutoffs shift year-to-year based on vacancy count (higher vacancies may lower cutoffs by 2-4 marks), overall paper difficulty, and the candidate-to-vacancy ratio for each cycle.
- Physical efficiency test (PET) qualification also impacts final merit, so written cutoffs represent minimum screening thresholds; actual selection depends on combined performance across all phases.
