- Year-on-Year Variability: Cutoffs shift ±3-5% based on vacancy count (higher vacancies = lower cutoffs), paper difficulty, and candidate pool strength. High competition years push General toward 75-78% range.
- Post-specific Reality: Premium Group B posts exhaust at upper cutoff bands (74-78% for General); lower cutoffs secure Group C equivalents or district-level postings within Group II cadre.
