## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General (UR) | 62-68 marks out of 100 (62-68%) |
| EWS | 58-64 marks out of 100 (58-64%) |
| OBC | 55-61 marks out of 100 (55-61%) |
| SC | 48-54 marks out of 100 (48-54%) |

| PwD (SC/ST) | 35-41 marks out of 100 (35-41%) |

**Guidance:**
- **Category differential**: Typically, General cutoffs stay 7-10 marks above OBC and 14-18 marks above SC/ST categories. EWS cutoffs generally remain 3-5 marks below General.
- **Cutoff volatility factors**: Final cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy numbers (MP Police announces large-scale recruitments periodically), overall paper difficulty, and total applicant performance distribution. Higher vacancies tend to lower cutoffs by 2-4 marks across categories.
- **Competitive positioning**: Scoring in the 65-75% range (strong competitive position) significantly improves posting preferences and merit ranking, while borderline qualifiers (50-65%) face uncertainty depending on final vacancy allocation and normalization procedures.
