Category-Wise Cut-Off Marks and Qualification

The cut-off scores vary by post and category, reflecting the competition level and reservation norms. For example, cut-off marks in some PGT subjects and TGT streams differ across categories such as UR, OBC, SC and ST, with higher cut-offs in core subjects due to intense competition. These cut-offs determine whether a candidate is eligible for the next phase in the selection process. Candidates who meet or exceed their category’s cut-off are shortlisted for further rounds, while others may not progress.

Next Steps: Tier-2 and Subsequent Selection

Shortlisted candidates will be eligible to appear for the Tier-2 examination and other subsequent stages such as skill/practical tests and personal interviews where applicable. The schedule for Tier-2 and other assessments will be announced on the official portal in due course. It is recommended that candidates regularly check the official EMRS website for updates on the next phases of the recruitment process and downloading their results or call letters when published.
