Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 105-115 marks (52.5-57.5%) |
| EWS | 100-110 marks (50-55%) |
| OBC | 95-105 marks (47.5-52.5%) |
| SC | 85-95 marks (42.5-47.5%) |
| ST | 80-90 marks (40-45%) |
| PwD (General) | 75-85 marks (37.5-42.5%) |
| PwD (OBC/SC/ST) | 70-80 marks (35-40%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 10-15 marks higher than OBC, with SC/ST cutoffs another 10-20 marks lower. EWS cutoffs usually settle 5 marks below General category.
- Year-to-year variations: Cutoffs fluctuate based on paper difficulty, total vacancies announced, and candidate performance distribution. Easier papers push cutoffs 5-8 marks higher; tougher papers bring them down proportionately.
- Safe zone strategy: Targeting 55-60% (110-120 marks) for General and 50-55% (100-110 marks) for OBC provides reasonable safety margins given annual fluctuations in RPSC RAS Prelims patterns.
