Trends & Insights
- General and OBC categories have the highest and nearly equal cutoffs in all rounds. The difference decreases further by round 3.
- There is a noticeable drop in cutoffs for all categories from round 1 to round 3, enabling those with lower scores a chance in later rounds.
- SC and ST cutoffs drop more sharply, indicating higher seat availability or lower uptake in these categories.
- Two R1 data points suggest possible corrections in reporting. The latest values should be considered more accurate.
Conclusion
Candidates who narrowly missed initial cutoffs should consider participating in later rounds as seat availability and cutoffs tend to drop. OBC and General candidates face nearly similar competition, while SC/ST candidates see a greater benefit from later rounds. Always refer to the most recent and official sources before final decisions.
