Expected Cut-Off (Safe Raw Scores)
Based on recent rank data and previous year trends, here are the predicted raw scores required to qualify for the PET. If your score falls within these brackets, you should ideally begin your physical training.
- General (UR): 64 – 67 Marks
- OBC: 60 – 63 Marks
- EWS: 58 – 61 Marks
- SC: 52 – 55 Marks
- ST: 45 – 49 Marks
Score Distribution Insights
Data analysis from thousands of candidates shows that very few students have crossed the 80-mark barrier. The majority of the "crowd" is concentrated between 55 and 65 marks. This means even a 1-mark difference after normalization could significantly shift your rank.

- Start PET Training: Don't wait for the final result. The physical test requires stamina that takes weeks to build.
- Keep Documents Ready: Ensure your category certificates (OBC-NCL, EWS, etc.) are updated and valid.
