Cutoffs 2026

Expected and previous-year category-wise cutoff trends.

Cutoff marks for every major government exam are tracked here category-wise, with previous-year trends and expected cutoff predictions based on paper difficulty and vacancy ratios.

We publish official cutoffs within hours of release and maintain expected cutoff calculators for SSC, UPSC, Railway, Bank, Defence, Police and state PSC exams across UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS and PwBD categories.

Frequently asked questions

How are expected cutoffs calculated before official release?
Expected cutoffs combine three inputs: average paper difficulty rating from candidate feedback, vacancy-to-applicant ratio for the cycle, and the previous three years' cutoff trend. Our methodology is published transparently on each prediction page so you can judge the confidence level yourself.
Are cutoffs available category-wise and post-wise?
Yes. Every cutoff page splits marks by category (UR, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD) and by post where the exam recruits for multiple positions. SSC CGL, for example, shows separate cutoffs for Inspector, Auditor, Assistant Section Officer and other posts within the same notification cycle.
How accurate are your expected cutoff predictions historically?
Our expected cutoffs land within plus or minus three marks of the official figure for over 80 percent of major exams tracked since 2020. Accuracy is highest for repeat exams like SSC CGL, IBPS PO and RRB NTPC where data depth supports stronger trend analysis.
Why do cutoffs change between tiers in multi-stage exams?
Each tier has its own qualifying cutoff plus a final merit cutoff combining all stages. Tier 1 cutoffs are usually lower since they only need to shortlist for Tier 2. Final selection cutoff factors in normalisation, sectional minimums and post preference, making it the most decisive figure.
Where can I see state-specific cutoffs?
State PSC cutoffs are organised under each state hub. Visit Uttar Pradesh for UPPSC and UPSSSC, Bihar for BPSC, Rajasthan for RPSC and RSMSSB, with full category-wise historical data and expected ranges.

Reading a Cutoff Page Correctly

A cutoff figure alone is meaningless without context. Our pages always show the cutoff alongside total vacancies, applicant count, paper difficulty rating and sectional minimums. This four-factor view tells you whether the cutoff was inflated by an easy paper or compressed by tough questions, helping you calibrate your own target score realistically.

Trend Analysis Across Cycles

Each cutoff page carries a five-year trend chart showing year-on-year movement for every category. Sharp jumps usually correlate with vacancy reductions, while drops indicate paper difficulty spikes. Cross-reference with previous papers from the same year to see the difficulty evidence behind each shift.

Expected Cutoff for Upcoming Results

Before official cutoffs release, our prediction engine ingests candidate feedback, answer key objections and vacancy data to publish an expected range. Use this to estimate your selection probability while waiting for the result. Predictions update daily until the official cutoff drops.
