Indicative cutoff (estimate, not official)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 68–76 marks (68–76%) |
| OBC | 63–71 marks (63–71%) |
| SC | 58–66 marks (58–66%) |
| ST | 53–61 marks (53–61%) |
| PwD | 48–56 marks (48–56%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 5–8 marks above OBC, 10–15 marks above SC, and 15–20 marks above ST categories, reflecting reserved seat competition intensity in Sikkim's state services.
- Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate ±3–5 marks based on paper difficulty, vacancy count, and applicant pool strength; easier papers push cutoffs toward the upper 70s for General, while tougher editions may settle in the mid-60s.
- Sectional performance matters: Candidates crossing these marks enter the Mains stage; those in the 72–82% band historically secure competitive Group B positions post-interview, while 68–72% scorers remain in contention for mid-tier allocations.
