## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 90-105 marks (75-87.5%) |
| EWS | 85-100 marks (70.8-83.3%) |
| OBC | 80-95 marks (66.7-79.2%) |
| SC | 70-85 marks (58.3-70.8%) |
| ST | 65-80 marks (54.2-66.7%) |
| PwD | 60-75 marks (50-62.5%) |

**Guidance:**
- **General vs OBC gap**: Typically 10-15 marks (8-12 percentage points), with SC/ST enjoying 20-25 marks relaxation from General cutoffs for comparable institutions.
- **Year-to-year shifts**: Cutoffs fluctuate with paper difficulty (±5-8 marks), number of applicants, and seat matrix changes; highly competitive years push General cutoffs toward 105+ for top NLUs/government colleges.
- **Strategic note**: Scoring 90+ (75%) ensures General category access to premier government colleges; OBC candidates securing 80+ typically access top-tier quota seats; SC/ST at 70+ compete well for leading reserved seats.
