## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 72-78 marks (60-65%) |
| EWS | 68-74 marks (57-62%) |
| OBC | 64-70 marks (53-58%) |
| SC | 50-58 marks (42-48%) |
| ST | 46-54 marks (38-45%) |
| PwD | 40-48 marks (33-40%) |

**Guidance:**
- **Category differentials**: General cutoffs typically run 7-10 marks higher than OBC, and 20-25 marks higher than SC/ST for equivalent college-branch access. EWS slots follow closely behind General (3-5 marks lower).
- **Year-to-year shifts**: Cutoffs fluctuate ±3-5 marks based on paper difficulty, seat matrix changes, and applicant pool strength. Highly competitive branches (CSE/IT in premier colleges) may demand scores in the 85-95 mark range even for reserved categories.
- **Practical threshold**: Scoring 65+ marks generally ensures reasonable government college access across categories; below 50 marks significantly limits options to lower-tier institutions regardless of reservation benefits.

*These are indicative patterns based on historical trends, not official figures.*
