## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 90-96 marks (60-64%) |
| EWS | 85-91 marks (57-61%) |
| OBC | 82-88 marks (55-59%) |
| SC | 75-81 marks (50-54%) |
| ST | 72-78 marks (48-52%) |
| PwD | 68-74 marks (45-49%) |

**Guidance:**
- **Category differential**: General cutoffs typically run 8-10 marks above OBC and 15-18 marks above SC/ST categories. EWS cutoffs usually settle 3-5 marks below General.
- **Year-to-year variation**: Cutoffs fluctuate based on paper difficulty, vacancy count, and candidate performance distribution. In easier papers, cutoffs can rise by 5-8 marks across categories; tougher exams see 4-6 mark drops.
- **Level-specific consideration**: REET Level-I (Classes I-V) and Level-II (Classes VI-VIII) maintain separate merit lists with slightly different cutoff patterns—Level-II cutoffs tend to be 2-4 marks higher due to candidate profile differences.
