- 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.
