Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 52-58 marks (69-77%) |
| EWS | 50-56 marks (67-75%) |
| OBC | 48-54 marks (64-72%) |
| SC | 42-48 marks (56-64%) |

- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 8-12 marks higher than OBC, 14-18 marks above SC, and 16-20 marks above ST categories. EWS cutoffs stay 2-4 marks below General.
- Year-to-year variations: Cutoffs shift ±3-5 marks based on overall exam difficulty, number of vacancies declared, and candidate performance distribution. Higher vacancy announcements typically lower cutoffs by 2-4 marks across categories.
- Qualifying vs. final selection: These CBT-1 cutoffs reflect qualification thresholds; actual selection occurs post-CBT-2 and other stages with normalized scoring. Scoring above 58+ marks (77%+) significantly strengthens candidature regardless of category.
