|---|---|
| General | 150–165 marks (50–55%) |

- 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.
