What a TNUSRB Sub Inspector cut-off actually tells you
A cut-off is the mark of the last candidate selected in a given category in a given year. It is an outcome, not a target set in advance. It moves with the number of vacancies announced, the number of candidates who sat the paper, and how hard that year’s question paper turned out to be. A cut-off that falls by ten marks usually means the paper was harder or the vacancy count went up, not that the standard dropped.
The practical use of past cut-offs is to set a working target for your own preparation. Take the highest recent cut-off for your category, add a clear margin on top, and treat that as the score you are preparing to beat. Preparing to exactly match last year’s number leaves you no room for a harder paper.
Why your category matters
Cut-offs are published separately for each reservation category, and the gap between them can be substantial. Check the figure for the category you will actually be assessed under, not the general figure, and remember that candidates who qualify under a reserved category but score above the general cut-off are usually counted against the general list.
