Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 90-96 marks (60-64%) |
| EWS | 85-91 marks (57-61%) |
| OBC | 81-87 marks (54-58%) |

- The typical gap between General and OBC categories is approximately 6-9 marks (4-6 percentage points), while SC/ST cutoffs generally hover around the minimum qualifying threshold of 50% or slightly above.
- Cutoffs fluctuate based on factors like paper difficulty level, total number of qualified candidates needed, vacancy positions, and overall candidate performance in a particular session (Level-1, Level-2, or Level-3 PGT).
- HTET conducts multiple levels; cutoffs vary slightly across PRT (Level-1), TGT (Level-2), and PGT (Level-3), with PGT typically showing marginally higher cutoffs due to specialized subject competition.
