Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 150–165 marks (50–55%) |
| EWS | 143–158 marks (47.5–52.5%) |
| OBC | 135–150 marks (45–50%) |
| SC | 120–135 marks (40–45%) |
| ST | 120–135 marks (40–45%) |
| PwD | 113–128 marks (37.5–42.5%) |
- The typical General-to-OBC gap ranges 4–6 percentage points; SC/ST categories usually receive an additional 5–8 percentage point relaxation, reflecting standard reservation norms in Gujarat state teacher recruitment.
- GTET cutoffs fluctuate annually based on paper difficulty, vacancy forecasts for primary/upper-primary positions, and candidate performance distribution; easier papers push cutoffs 3–5% higher.
- Scores above 60% (180+ marks) ensure qualification across all categories with reasonable school placement prospects, while borderline qualifiers (40–50%) face limited posting options in competitive districts.
