श्रेणी-वार अपेक्षित कटऑफ (सांकेतिक)
| श्रेणी | अपेक्षित कटऑफ (सांकेतिक) |
|---|---|
| General | 95–105 marks (47.5–52.5%) |
| EWS | 90–100 marks (45–50%) |

- The General-to-OBC gap typically ranges 6–8 marks, while General-to-SC/ST gaps widen to 15–20 marks depending on paper difficulty and vacancy distribution.
- Year-to-year cutoff shifts are driven by question paper difficulty (especially CSAT qualifying threshold impact), number of vacancies announced, and normalization effects when multiple exam sessions occur.
- These are raw score estimates; actual cutoffs fluctuate ±3–5 marks based on annual variables, and UPSC applies its own difficulty-adjustment methodology before declaring final qualifying marks.
