## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 130-145 marks (65-72.5%) |
| EWS | 125-140 marks (62.5-70%) |
| OBC | 115-130 marks (57.5-65%) |
| SC | 95-110 marks (47.5-55%) |
| ST | 85-100 marks (42.5-50%) |
| PwD | 70-85 marks (35-42.5%) |

**Guidance:**
- **Category differential**: General cutoffs typically run 10-15% higher than OBC, and 20-25% higher than SC/ST categories. The gap between General and EWS is usually narrow (3-5%).
- **Year-on-year shifts**: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy count, application volume, and paper difficulty. A tougher paper can lower cutoffs by 5-10 marks across categories; high competition years push them upward similarly.
- **PET qualifier impact**: These are written exam cutoffs; candidates must also clear Physical Efficiency Test. Final selection depends on combined performance, so written cutoffs represent minimum qualifying thresholds rather than final selection ranks.
