## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 68–76 marks out of 100 |
| EWS | 65–73 marks out of 100 |
| OBC (A/B) | 62–70 marks out of 100 |
| SC | 55–63 marks out of 100 |
| ST | 52–60 marks out of 100 |
| PwD | 45–53 marks out of 100 |

**Guidance:**
- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 6–8 marks, with SC cutoffs 10–15 marks below General. Female candidates often see cutoffs 2–4 marks higher within the same category due to limited vacancies and high competition.
- Cutoffs shift based on exam difficulty (easier papers push cutoffs toward 75+ for General), total vacancies declared, and district-wise demand (Gurgaon, Faridabad postings attract higher merit).
- These are indicative patterns from recent cycles; actual cutoffs vary by recruitment notification and normalization methods applied by HSSC.
