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.
