Hy,

To provide you with accurate cutoff scores for the general category , I would need to know which exam or course you're referring to. Cutoff scores vary widely depending on the exam, field of study (medical, engineering, education, etc.), and the institution you're interested in.

However, here are some general guidelines for popular entrance exams:

1. NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) - For Medical Admissions

  • General Category Cutoff :
    • The cutoff for general category candidates usually falls between 50th percentile .
    • The NEET 2023 general category cutoff score was around 720 - 137 marks . However, the cutoff changes every year based on the difficulty of the exam and the number of applicants.

2. JEE Main (Joint Entrance Examination) - For Engineering Admissions

  • General Category Cutoff :
    • The JEE Main 2023 cutoff for the general category was 90.7788642 percentile . This varies every year based on factors like the number of candidates, difficulty levels, and seat availability in institutions like NITs, IIITs, etc.

3. CTET (Central Teacher Eligibility Test) - For Teaching Jobs

  • General Category Cutoff :
    • In CTET , the general category candidates must score at least 60% marks to qualify.
    • Out of a total of 150 marks , the cutoff score for general candidates is typically 90 marks or more.

4. GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) - For Postgraduate Engineering

  • General Category Cutoff :
    • Cutoffs vary by stream, but in 2023 , the cutoff for most streams ranged from 25 to 35 marks out of 100 for the general category.

5. TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) - For State-Level Teacher Jobs

  • Each state has its own TET exam, and the cutoff for general category candidates is typically around 60% of the total marks. For example, in many states, candidates need to score 90 marks out of 150 to qualify.

6. CAT (Common Admission Test) - For MBA Admissions

  • General Category Cutoff :
    • Most top B-schools like IIMs have high cutoff percentiles for general category candidates.
    • For prestigious institutes like the IIMs, the CAT cutoff percentile for general category candidates can be around 98-99 percentile .

7. B.Ed. Admission Cutoffs - For Education Courses

  • The cutoff for B.Ed. admissions varies significantly depending on the institution and state. Typically, government and reputed private institutions have higher cutoffs, but most colleges set their general category cutoff between 60-80% for entrance exams.
