Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)
| Category | Expected Cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 72–78 marks (72–78%) |
| OBC-A | 68–74 marks (68–74%) |

- General category cutoffs typically settle 4–6 marks above OBC-B and 10–14 marks above SC; competition intensity in clerical cadre drives cutoffs into the "strong contender" to "good selection" zone for unreserved candidates.
- Year-on-year variations depend on vacancy numbers (fewer posts push cutoffs up 3–5 marks), paper difficulty (easier papers see 75–78% for General; tougher ones drop to 70–73%), and candidate pool size.
- WBPSC Clerkship historically shows compressed category gaps (3–4 marks between successive reserved categories) due to high participation across all groups; PwD cutoffs remain 12–20 marks below General depending on horizontal reservation dynamics.
