Cutoffs are out of 200 marks, for Non-TSP areas and general (male) posts. RPSC also publishes TSP-area cutoffs and female/widow/divorcee/ex-serviceman variants, not listed here. Note: reporting sources show OBC (95.00 in 2022; 94.98 in 2018) above the General cutoff - that is what the published figures say, kept verbatim. For RAS 2023, one source reports SC 88.49 / ST 92.72 instead of 91.49 / 94.25; the latter (three agreeing sources) is used here. MBC/EWS columns are null for 2018 and 2022 where sources did not publish them.
