Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General (UR) | 95-105 marks (63-70%) |
| EWS | 90-100 marks (60-67%) |
| OBC/BC | 80-95 marks (53-63%) |
| SC | 70-85 marks (47-57%) |
| ST | 65-80 marks (43-53%) |
| PwD (across categories) | 60-75 marks (40-50%) |
- Category differential: General cutoffs typically run 10-15 marks above BC and 20-30 marks above SC/ST, reflecting reservation policy. EWS falls 3-5 marks below General UR.
- Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate with vacancy count, exam difficulty, and applicant pool size. Paper difficulty variations can shift cutoffs ±5-8 marks across categories. Post preferences (revenue vs. other departments) also influence final selection marks beyond minimum cutoffs.
- Competition intensity: Group IV sees high competition; even reserved category candidates often score in borderline-to-competitive bands. Final selection depends on post-specific merit lists after cutoff qualification.
