Written cutoff jumped 44% in 2022
In 2020 the General written cutoff was just 114/200 (57%). By 2022 it rose to 165/200 (82.5%). For 2024 exam, expect the 2022 level or higher. Focus on scoring 80%+ consistently on mocks.
Interview can make or break selection
Among shortlisted candidates, interview is 33% of total marks (100/300). The 2020 final cutoff was 165/300. A candidate with 130 written + 60 interview = 190/300 sits well above it — strong interview matters.
Written and final cutoffs are different scales
165 appears twice: as the 2022 written shortlisting cutoff (out of 200) AND as the 2020 final selection cutoff (out of 300). These are completely different thresholds — don't confuse them.
Track mock score trend, not single result
Consistently hitting 75%+ (150+/200 equivalent) on platform mocks approaches the 2020 shortlisting threshold. 82%+ (164+/200) approaches the 2022 threshold. Take 5+ mocks and measure your improving trend.
