Category-wise expected cutoff (indicative)

Category	Expected Cutoff (Indicative)
General	140-155 marks (70-77.5%)
EWS	135-150 marks (67.5-75%)
OBC	130-145 marks (65-72.5%)

PwD (OBC)	100-115 marks (50-57.5%)
PwD (SC/ST)	95-110 marks (47.5-55%)

Category differential: Typically 10-15 marks separate General/EWS/OBC tiers; SC/ST cutoffs run 20-30 marks below General; PwD categories receive additional 10-15 mark relaxation within their base category.
Post-wise variation: Group 1 positions (gazetted/premium posts) demand upper-range cutoffs (75%+); Group 2 settles mid-range (65-75%); Group 3 accepts lower thresholds (50-65%), though intense competition in recent cycles has pushed all bands upward by 3-5%.
Annual fluctuations: Paper difficulty, vacancy count, and applicant pool size shift cutoffs ±5-8 marks year-over-year; normalization procedures (if multi-shift) can compress or expand category gaps unexpectedly.
