Indicative cutoff (estimate, not official)
Indicative cutoff bands below are estimates from score bands, not official. The official cutoff comes with the result.
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 135-150 / 240 (56-63%) |
| EWS | 125-140 / 240 (52-58%) |
| OBC (Category 1) | 120-135 / 240 (50-56%) |
| SC | 90-110 / 240 (38-46%) |
| ST | 75-95 / 240 (31-40%) |
| PwD | 65-85 / 240 (27-35%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 15-20 marks higher than OBC, 40-50 marks above SC, and 55-65 marks above ST categories for government medical/premier engineering seats.
- Year-to-year variation: Cutoffs fluctuate ±5-10 marks based on paper difficulty, seat matrix changes, and candidate pool strength; medical seat cutoffs trend at 75-85% range for General, while top engineering branches remain competitive at 60-70%.
- Context: These ranges reflect qualifying/competitive marks for government college admission; top-tier medical seats demand 90%+ across all categories, while mid-tier engineering accepts 50-60% for General and proportionally lower for reserved categories.
