Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| 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%) |
- 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.
