Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 68-74 marks (out of 80) / 85-92.5% |
| EWS | 65-71 marks (out of 80) / 81-89% |
| OBC | 63-69 marks (out of 80) / 79-86% |
| SC | 58-65 marks (out of 80) / 72.5-81% |
| ST | 55-62 marks (out of 80) / 69-77.5% |
| PwD | 48-56 marks (out of 80) / 60-70% |
- General vs. OBC gap: Typically 4-6 marks (5-7 percentage points); SC/ST cutoffs fall 10-15 marks below General, reflecting reservation relaxations and candidate pool competitiveness.
- Post-wise variation: Officer Scale-I cutoffs trend 8-12 marks higher than Office Assistant across all categories; state-specific RRB demand and vacancy distribution cause ±3-5 mark fluctuations year-over-year.
- Cutoff drivers: Exam difficulty (particularly Reasoning and Quantitative sections), number of vacancies per RRB, and regional preference intensity shift cutoffs—high-demand states (UP, Bihar, Rajasthan) push General cutoffs toward the upper range (72-74 marks).
