## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|----------|-------------------------------|
| General | 46-50 marks (76-83%) |
| EWS | 44-48 marks (73-80%) |
| OBC | 43-47 marks (71-78%) |
| SC | 39-43 marks (65-71%) |
| ST | 37-41 marks (61-68%) |
| PwD | 35-39 marks (58-65%) |

**Guidance:**
- Silverzone olympiads typically show a **3-5 mark differential** between General and OBC categories, with SC/ST cutoffs positioned to ensure adequate representation at Zonal Excellence level and above.
- Cutoffs vary primarily by **class/grade level** (higher classes see tougher competition), **question paper difficulty** in a given year, and the **overall participation strength** from metros versus tier-2/3 cities.
- These ranges target the **Zonal Excellence threshold (76-85% band)**; categories may proportionally shift downward for State-Level Recognition or upward for National Top Ranker qualification based on performance distribution.
