Determining the exact cutoff for the ST category in the ICAR exam without knowing the specific year is challenging. Cut-offs fluctuate based on several factors including:

• Total number of applicants
• Difficulty level of the exam
• Number of seats available
• Previous year trends

Generally, the ST category enjoys a relaxation in cutoff compared to the general category. However, securing a seat in a top ICAR institute with a significant relaxation in the cutoff is still competitive.

To get a better idea of the expected cutoff:

• Check previous year trends: Analyze the cutoff data for the ST category in previous years to get an estimate.
• Consider factors mentioned above: Understand the factors influencing the cutoff to make a more accurate prediction.

Remember: While the ST category offers an advantage, aiming for a higher score is always beneficial to increase your chances of securing a seat in a preferred institute.
