Indicative cutoff (estimate, not official)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 240–272 marks (60–68%) |
| EWS | 232–260 marks (58–65%) |
| OBC | 220–248 marks (55–62%) |
| SC | 200–228 marks (50–57%) |
| ST | 192–220 marks (48–55%) |
| PwD (General) | 184–208 marks (46–52%) |
| PwD (Reserved) | 176–200 marks (44–50%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 8–10% higher than OBC and 15–20% above SC/ST categories. EWS cutoffs settle 2–5% below General, reflecting reservation dynamics in Maharashtra state services.
- Year-on-year variations: Cutoffs shift based on paper difficulty, vacancy count, and candidate performance distribution. Easy papers push General cutoffs toward 65–68%; tougher editions may see 58–62%. Reserved category cutoffs adjust proportionally but remain within the Mains qualifier band.
- Qualifying strategy: Targeting 65%+ (260 marks) for General and 57%+ (228 marks) for OBC provides comfortable Mains entry cushion. SC/ST candidates crossing 52% (208 marks) typically secure safe qualification given reservation percentages in MPSC.
