Previous year category-wise cutoff scores for SSC, Banking, Railway and UPSC exams. Plan your target score before applying.

Why Cutoff Marks Matter

Cutoff marks help you set a realistic target score before the exam. General category candidates typically need 5–10% above the cutoff to stay safe. OBC candidates get 3–5% relaxation, SC/ST get 8–12% relaxation on cutoff scores. Use these historical cutoffs to calibrate your mock test performance.

How to Use Cutoff Data for Exam Preparation

Set Target Score
Aim for at least 10 marks above the general cutoff. This buffer covers calculation errors and score fluctuation.
Track Trends
If cutoffs are rising, the competition is increasing. Adjust your preparation intensity accordingly.
Category Planning
OBC/SC/ST candidates: check your category cutoff, not just General. You may need significantly fewer marks.
Mock Test Calibration
When your mock test average crosses 105% of the cutoff, you are in a strong position to clear.
