Cut Off Trend Analysis – What It Means for 2025

  • Core & Highly Technical Trades (e.g., Turner, Civil TA, Scientific Assistant) showed elevated cut-offs (~60–68/80), reflecting intense competition.
  • Skill-oriented Engineering trades (Fitter, Electrician, Machinist) required strong practical and logical skills—UR range: 56–63/80.
  • Less technical posts (Automobile, Refrigeration & AC) had relatively low cut-offs (<35/80), indicating lower competition or simpler test pattern.

How to Use This Data for Your Preparation

  1. Set smart targets – For UR in Technician‑B trades, aim for 60–68 marks in CBT to stay above historical cut-offs.
  2. Focus on hardest sections – Turners, Fitters, Machinists demand deep practical knowledge and prompt problem-solving.
  3. Practice technical MCQs – Prioritize discipline-specific questions to bridge the gap between TA and Technician posts.
  4. Time management & accuracy – With negative marking likely, balance speed with precision.
  5. Monitor category cut-offs – OBC, SC, EWS cut-offs generally trail UR by 3–5 marks; use that margin to your advantage.

Scenario for 2025 – What's Next?

  • Competition is expected to intensify for posts like Civil TA and Technician‑B trades.
  • Vacancies are increasing marginally, but aspirant numbers are rising faster—plan for ≥65/80 for UR candidates.
  • Stay informed: ISRO’s official VSSC recruitment page will release the upcoming 2025 cut-off PDF (similar to 324 and 323) once tests conclude.
