## Expected cutoffs (category-wise)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (Indicative) |
|----------|------------------------------|
| General | 280-320 marks (70-80%) |
| EWS | 260-300 marks (65-75%) |
| OBC | 240-280 marks (60-70%) |
| SC | 180-220 marks (45-55%) |
| ST | 160-200 marks (40-50%) |
| PwD | 140-180 marks (35-45%) |

**Guidance:**
- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 10-15 percentage points, with SC/ST cutoffs approximately 20-30 points lower than General for government polytechnic admission
- Cutoffs fluctuate based on paper difficulty, total applicants, and seat availability across polytechnics; premium institutions in urban districts (Lucknow, Kanpur, Noida) demand scores at the higher end of each range
- Group-specific variations exist (A-K groups have different competitive landscapes); these ranges reflect Group A (Engineering) patterns, which see highest competition
