Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 140-155 marks (70-77.5%) |
| EWS | 135-150 marks (67.5-75%) |
| OBC | 130-145 marks (65-72.5%) |
| SC | 115-130 marks (57.5-65%) |
| ST | 110-125 marks (55-62.5%) |
| PwD (General) | 105-120 marks (52.5-60%) |
| PwD (OBC) | 100-115 marks (50-57.5%) |
| PwD (SC/ST) | 95-110 marks (47.5-55%) |
- Category differential: Typically 10-15 marks separate General/EWS/OBC tiers; SC/ST cutoffs run 20-30 marks below General; PwD categories receive additional 10-15 mark relaxation within their base category.
- Post-wise variation: Group 1 positions (gazetted/premium posts) demand upper-range cutoffs (75%+); Group 2 settles mid-range (65-75%); Group 3 accepts lower thresholds (50-65%), though intense competition in recent cycles has pushed all bands upward by 3-5%.
- Annual fluctuations: Paper difficulty, vacancy count, and applicant pool size shift cutoffs ±5-8 marks year-over-year; normalization procedures (if multi-shift) can compress or expand category gaps unexpectedly.
