đź“Š Expected Cutoffs & Trends
While OICL has not yet published official cutoffs, analysis and expert predictions offer guidance:
Since the paper was relatively less difficult as per test takers, cutoffs may be higher this year.Â
Experts expect for General (UR) category, the cutoff might hover around 70–80 marks (subject to normalization, number of candidates etc.)Â
Lower cutoffs may apply for OBC, SC, ST categories depending on reservation norms.Â
But these are speculative — always depend on official OICL announcement.
🧰 Tips While Waiting & Preparing for Mains
Download / print your result PDF and check your roll number as early as possible (some servers may slow down later).
Start Mains preparation immediately — past papers, section-wise mocks, time management.
Focus more on accuracy and speed, because Mains papers are tougher.
Keep track of notifications / amendments on OICL’s official portal to not miss important updates (admit card release, exam center, etc.).
If shortlisted, ensure your documents (educational certificates, ID proof) are in order for verification.
Do not solely rely on expected cutoffs — aim for higher scores to be safe.
