- Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate ±10–15 marks based on paper difficulty, number of vacancies, and candidate performance distribution; highly competitive years push General cutoffs toward 65%, while moderate papers settle around 58–60%.
- Safe zone: Scoring 62%+ (248 marks) generally ensures Prelims clearance across unreserved categories; OBC candidates clearing 210+ and SC/ST above 180 marks historically advance comfortably.
