## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 72-78 marks (48-52%) |
| EWS | 68-74 marks (45-49%) |
| OBC | 65-71 marks (43-47%) |
| SC | 58-64 marks (39-43%) |
| ST | 55-61 marks (37-41%) |
| PwD | 50-56 marks (33-37%) |

**Guidance:**
- **Category differential**: General cutoffs typically run 8-12 marks higher than OBC and 15-20 marks above SC/ST categories, reflecting reservation policy and competitive intensity in Rajasthan Police recruitment.
- **Year-on-year variation**: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy numbers (often 3,000-5,000 posts), paper difficulty, and candidate strength. A tougher paper can drop cutoffs by 3-5 percentage points; higher vacancies may reduce cutoffs by 2-4%.
- **Competitive reality**: With lakhs of applicants for limited posts, even 1-2 marks matter significantly. General and EWS candidates should target 75+ marks for safety margin, while reserved category aspirants benefit from scoring above 65 to strengthen merit position within their category.
