Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|---|---|
| General (UR) | 95-110 marks (47.5-55%) |
| EWS | 88-102 marks (44-51%) |
| OBC (BC-A/B/C/D/E) | 75-92 marks (37.5-46%) |

| ST | 55-70 marks (27.5-35%) |
| PwD | 45-60 marks (22.5-30%) |
- Category gap pattern: General cutoffs typically run 15-20 marks higher than OBC categories, with OBC approximately 12-18 marks above SC, and SC 8-12 marks above ST. EWS cutoffs generally fall 5-8 marks below General.
- Year-on-year variations: Cutoffs fluctuate by 8-15 marks based on paper difficulty, seat matrix changes in participating institutions, total qualified candidates, and normalization effects across sessions. Easier papers push cutoffs upward; tougher papers compress them.
- Qualifying vs. admission reality: These represent minimum qualifying marks for rank generation. Actual admission to decent colleges (Tier 2+) requires substantially higher scores—typically 110-140+ marks for General in competitive programs at established institutions.
