1. Cut-offs Have Been Declining Since 2019: The 2019 cut-off of 193 was an all-time high driven by massive competition and fewer vacancies relative to applicants. Since then, cut-offs have steadily dropped — a positive sign for 2026 candidates.
2. More Vacancies = Lower Cut-off: Years with higher vacancy numbers (2023: 52,699 and 2024: 60,244) saw relatively manageable cut-offs despite heavy competition. 2026 has fewer vacancies (19,900) which may push cut-offs slightly higher.
3. Female Cut-offs Are Consistently 12–16 Marks Lower: Across all categories and years, female candidates have enjoyed a cut-off advantage of approximately 12–16 marks — a consistent pattern maintained by UPPRPB.
4. OBC Cut-off Tracks Closely with General: The OBC cut-off has historically stayed 7–10 marks below the General category cut-off, making it a competitive but achievable target.
5. Paper Difficulty Directly Impacts Cut-off: When the paper is rated Hard (as in 2019), cut-offs surprisingly go up due to compensatory marking patterns. Moderate papers like 2024 saw lower cut-offs — 2026 paper being Moderate suggests cut-offs in the 172–180 range.
