## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 195-210 marks (65-70%) |
| EWS | 185-200 marks (62-67%) |
| OBC | 175-195 marks (58-65%) |

| ST | 150-170 marks (50-57%) |
| PwD | 140-160 marks (47-53%) |

**Guidance:**
- The General-OBC gap typically ranges 20-30 marks (7-10 percentage points), while SC/ST cutoffs drop 40-55 marks below General, reflecting reservation policy and competitive intensity in Rajasthan state recruitment.
- RSMSSB cutoffs vary significantly with post popularity, vacancy count, and application volume; technical posts often see lower cutoffs (50-55% General) while clerical/ministerial posts push higher (68-72% General).
- Year-on-year shifts of ±5-8% occur due to paper difficulty normalization, category-wise vacancy distribution, and the large applicant pool characteristic of Rajasthan state exams.
