Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 62-68 marks out of 100 |
| EWS | 60-66 marks out of 100 |
| OBC | 58-64 marks out of 100 |
| SC | 48-54 marks out of 100 |
| ST | 45-51 marks out of 100 |

- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 4-6 marks, while SC/ST cutoffs run 14-20 marks below General category thresholds, reflecting reservation policy implementation.
- Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy numbers, application volume, and paper difficulty; higher vacancies or tougher papers can lower cutoffs by 3-5 marks across categories.
- Physical efficiency test (PET/PST) performance and document verification stages further filter candidates, so scoring 5-8 marks above minimum cutoff significantly improves final selection probability.
