Historical cutoffs are a guide, not a prediction. Use them to set a realistic target, not to predict next year's exact number.
CHSL cutoffs vary by post — DEO consistently has the highest cutoff because of fewer vacancies + typing speed requirement.

|---|---|---|
| 2024 | General — LDC/JSA | 151 – 158 |
| 2024 | General — Postal Assistant | 152 – 160 |
| 2024 | General — DEO | 165 – 172 |
