Category differentials: General-OBC gap typically ranges 5-7 marks; General-SC/ST gap around 12-15 marks, reflecting reservation policy in Assam's teacher recruitment framework.
Year-to-year shifts: Cutoffs fluctuate based on vacancy notifications, paper difficulty, and candidate performance distribution. High competition in urban districts can push General category cutoffs toward the upper range (63-64%), while rural posts may settle at lower thresholds.
Qualifying vs. Selection: These cutoffs represent minimum qualifying marks for TET certificate eligibility. Actual appointment cutoffs in subsequent recruitment drives are substantially higher (often 75-80%+ for General category), depending on post-specific merit lists.
