Historical cutoffs are a guide, not a prediction. Use them to set a realistic target, not to predict next year's exact number.
HBCSE picks ~25 students per region per class for RMO. Cutoffs vary by region and year — figures here are representative of metropolitan regions.
| Year | Category | Cutoff |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | Class 12 students (Top ~1,200) | ~50 – 55 |
