| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|---|---|

- 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.
