Hello Keerthi!

40 marks out of 600 is really less. You do not score 40% in the entrance exam, so there are nill chances for you to get seat in ICAR approved colleges if you have any kind of reservation also.

The cutoff generally hovers around above 300. Below is the info:-

• SC -  250-300
• ST  - 200-250
• General -  350-450
• EWS / OBC  - 300-400

This year the rank inflation is also great as normalization was not considered though the exam was conducted in two shifts for three days. So, unfortunately 40 marks are really less to get any course in ICAR colleges.

Hope for the best and prepare again:)
