Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 90-96 marks (60-64%) |
| OBC | 84-90 marks (56-60%) |
| SC | 82-88 marks (55-59%) |
| ST | 82-88 marks (55-59%) |
| PwD | 75-82 marks (50-55%) |
- The General-vs-OBC gap typically ranges from 4-6 marks, while SC/ST cutoffs are usually 1-2 marks below OBC. TS TET maintains relatively close cutoffs across reserved categories due to high competition in the teaching sector.
- Year-to-year fluctuations depend primarily on paper difficulty level, vacancy announcements, and candidate pool strength. Years with higher teacher recruitment notifications see marginal increases (2-4 marks) in cutoffs across all categories.
- These cutoffs represent qualifying thresholds for TET certification validity; actual selection for teaching posts involves separate recruitment processes where higher scores significantly improve placement prospects.
