**Guidance:**

- **Category differential**: General cutoffs typically run 10-15 marks higher than OBC, 20-25 marks above SC, and 25-30 marks above ST categories, reflecting reservation policies and candidate competition density.

- **Post-specific variation**: Premium Group B positions push General cutoffs toward 75-85 range, while Group C posts may see General at 50-65; cutoffs correlate directly with post desirability and vacancy numbers.

- **Annual fluctuation factors**: Cutoffs shift based on paper difficulty, total applicants per post ratio (higher competition raises bars by 5-10 marks), and Uttarakhand domicile vs. outside candidate performance distribution.
