Hello Siddhant,

As per the previous year cutoff trends, here are the cutoff scores for an SC category candidate over the rounds in 2018 -

• First round - 124.58
• second round - 124.93
• third, fourth and fifth - 92
• sixth - 85

This year, the cutoff score is 152 for SC candidates in the first round, and even if the cutoffs are higher this year, you can hope that you might get a seat in one of the last lists, as we can notice from the previous trends here, that the cutoffs dipped drastically for the SC category after the second round. So, wait for the rounds because who knows it might reduce to 130. But do keep a lookout for other institutes as well to keep your options open.

All the Best!
