General category cutoffs typically range 5-8 marks higher than OBC and 15-20 marks above SC/ST categories. The qualifying threshold aligns with 60% for General/OBC and 55% for SC/ST/PwD as per regulatory norms.
Year-to-year fluctuations depend on paper difficulty, vacancy positions, and candidate performance distribution. Easier papers push cutoffs toward upper range limits.
These are indicative patterns based on historical trends; actual cutoffs vary by subject specialization (Paper I vs Paper II) and are declared officially post-normalization.
