## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 105-115 marks (58-64%) |
| EWS | 95-105 marks (53-58%) |
| OBC | 90-100 marks (50-56%) |
| SC | 75-85 marks (42-47%) |
| ST | 70-80 marks (39-44%) |
| PwD | 60-70 marks (33-39%) |

**Guidance:**
- General category cutoffs typically run 8-15 marks higher than OBC and 25-35 marks above SC/ST categories, reflecting J&K's reservation structure
- Annual cutoff variations depend on paper difficulty, total applicants, and seat availability in government engineering colleges; a relatively easier paper can push General cutoffs toward 115+ marks
- Premier institutions (Top 500 ranks) demand 165+ marks (92%+) across most categories, while marginal qualification requires crossing the 40-55% threshold depending on category relaxation
