## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 90-100 marks (60-67%) |
| EWS | 85-95 marks (57-63%) |
| OBC | 82-92 marks (55-61%) |

| PwD | 70-80 marks (47-53%) |

**Guidance:**
- General category cutoffs typically range 5-8 marks higher than OBC and 15-20 marks above SC/ST categories. The qualifying threshold aligns with 60% for General/OBC and 55% for SC/ST/PwD as per regulatory norms.
- Year-to-year fluctuations depend on paper difficulty, vacancy positions, and candidate performance distribution. Easier papers push cutoffs toward upper range limits.
- These are indicative patterns based on historical trends; actual cutoffs vary by subject specialization (Paper I vs Paper II) and are declared officially post-normalization.
