Top screening range
85–100%
- Very likely in range for Tier-2 across the posts you qualify for
- Strong starting position for the final merit, which is still decided by Tier-2 and the interview or skill test
- Focus on Tier-2 subject depth and pedagogy, as that now separates candidates
- Check eligibility conditions (qualification, CTET where required) for each post before applying
Strong Tier-1 performance
72–85%
- Likely shortlisted for Tier-2 in most teaching and non-teaching posts you are eligible for
- Reasonable position for competitive posts, though the final cut-off varies by post, category and cycle
- Shift most of your effort to the post-wise Tier-2 subject test
- Prepare for the interview or skill test, which applies to many posts
Competitive for Tier-2
60–72%
- Likely in range for Tier-2 shortlisting for several teaching posts (PRT, TGT, PGT) depending on vacancies
- Likely in range for some non-teaching posts, depending on post-wise cut-offs
- Tier-2 subject test and interview or skill test, where applicable, then decide the final merit list
- Keep Tier-1 accuracy high, as Tier-1 only screens and the later stages carry the selection
Borderline for shortlisting
45–60%
- Possible Tier-2 shortlist only for posts with fewer applicants or lower competition
- Outcome depends on that cycle's post-wise cut-off, which is not stored here, so check the official result notice
- Reserved categories may be in range for some posts where the general category is not
- Begin Tier-2 subject test preparation now rather than waiting for the result
Far from Tier-2 shortlist
30–45%
- Tier-2 shortlisting is unlikely at this level for most posts
- Shortlisting is post-wise and category-wise, so competitive posts will need a much stronger Tier-1 score
- Revise the 20-question sections (Reasoning, Numeric Ability, Computer Literacy, General Knowledge) first
- Start Tier-2 subject preparation alongside, since it decides final selection
Below screening level
0–30%
- Unlikely to be shortlisted for Tier-2 this cycle
- Negative marking is likely pulling the score down, so work on accuracy before attempting more questions
- Rebuild basics in Reasoning, Numeric Ability and General Knowledge, the weighted sections
- Treat this as a baseline and plan a full preparation cycle before the next notification
