RAS Prelims 2021 vs 2023 Cutoff — Kya Badla aur Kyun?
By RPSC Tools Editorial Team · October 18, 2026 · 9 min read
Agar aap RAS 2024 ki taiyari kar rahe hain, toh aapko sirf current year ki expected cutoff jaanna hi kaafi nahi — aapko yeh samajhna zaroori hai ki trend kya hai aur woh trend kyun hai. Is article mein mein 2021 aur 2023 ke actual data ko side-by-side compare karunga aur kuch interesting patterns point out karunga jo mujhe research karte waqt mili.
Category-wise Cutoff Comparison
| Category | 2021 Cutoff | 2023 Cutoff | Change | % Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| General Male | 95.33 | 98.67 | ▲ +3.34 | +3.5% |
| General Female | 88.67 | 93.00 | ▲ +4.33 | +4.9% |
| OBC Male | 88.00 | 92.33 | ▲ +4.33 | +4.9% |
| OBC Female | 83.33 | 88.00 | ▲ +4.67 | +5.6% |
| SC Male | 78.67 | 83.33 | ▲ +4.66 | +5.9% |
| SC Female | 74.00 | 78.67 | ▲ +4.67 | +6.3% |
| ST Male (Non-TSP) | 76.33 | 80.67 | ▲ +4.34 | +5.7% |
| ST Male (TSP) | 83.33 | 87.33 | ▲ +4.00 | +4.8% |
3 Important Patterns Jo Data Mein Dikhe
Pattern 1: Reserved categories mein percentage increase zyada tha
SC Female mein 6.3% increase hua jabki General Male mein sirf 3.5%. Iska matlab hai ki reserved category candidates ki preparation level tezi se improve ho rahi hai. Yeh ek important signal hai — reserved category aspirants ko safe score ka margin General se zyada rakhna chahiye.
Pattern 2: Female cutoff male se consistently kam
Har category mein female cutoff male se 5–8 marks kam rahi hai. Yeh reservation ke kaaran hai, aur 2024 mein bhi yahi pattern rehne ki sambhavna hai.
Pattern 3: TSP vs Non-TSP ST ka gap badhta ja raha hai
2021 mein ST TSP (83.33) vs ST Non-TSP (76.33) = 7 marks ka fark. 2023 mein ST TSP (87.33) vs ST Non-TSP (80.67) = 6.66 marks ka fark. Thoda close ho raha hai — yeh interesting trend hai.
Cutoff Kyon Badh Rahi Hai?
3 main reasons hain:
1. Test Series Culture: 2021 mein test series itni popular nahi thi. 2023 tak, almost sab major coaching centres online test series provide kar rahe the. Regular mock tests se candidates ki accuracy aur speed dono improve hoti hai.
2. YouTube Education: Free quality content available hone se small towns ke candidates bhi better prepare ho rahe hain. Jo pehle coaching afford nahi kar sakte the, woh ab YouTube se padh sakte hain.
3. More Repeat Attempts: 2021 mein fail hue bahut log 2023 mein second attempt de rahe the — yeh group experienced tha aur higher score laaya.
2024 ke Liye Implication
Agar same trend jaari rahe, toh 2024 mein har category mein 4–5 marks aur upar jaane ki sambhavna hai. Lekin paper difficulty bhi ek factor hai — easy paper = higher cutoff, tough paper = slightly lower cutoff.
Hamara Cutoff Tracker tool is data ko visually show karta hai aur 2024 ke expected range bhi dikhata hai. Apni category select karke trend graph dekho.
Practical Conclusion
Agar aap 2024 mein RAS de rahe ho, toh mere hisaab se:
- General Male: 108+ score target karo to be in comfortable zone
- Reserved categories: Respective cutoff + 8-10 marks target karo
- Sirf cutoff score target mat karo — competition zyada hai, buffer zaroori hai
