• Work experience advantage: The full 15 marks for work experience go to candidates with 18 to 30 months of experience. Freshers and applicants with more than 36 months of experience get 0 marks in this part.
• Cutoff context: In a competitive year, the General category PI shortlist cutoff is usually in the 95 to 97 percentile range. For EWS and NC-OBC candidates, the overall cutoff is 81 percentile, with sectional cutoffs between 52 and 55.
