It is a percentage, not marks
Of the aggregate over Parts A, B and C together. Work backwards to marks with the score calculator.
There is no cut-off per part
Every official document states this. Only the combined total is ranked, so a weak Part A is survivable and a strong one is worth exactly its marks.
A floor sits under all of it
33% for General, EWS and OBC; 25% for SC, ST and PwD. Clearing the floor qualifies nobody on its own — the cut-off is still the cut-off.

December 2025
sat 18 December 2025 · result 23 Feb 2026 · this cycle in detail
The largest fall in this table: JRF (UR) dropped 11.375 points from June 2025, and the Ph.D figure landed exactly on the 33% benchmark for every general category, which had not happened before. Both are what the document says. The Assistant Professor OBC cell is printed as '33.00' in the source where every other cell in that table carries three decimals; it is the same number, not a different precision.

We do not publish an expected cut-off
Every other page you will find on this query has one, and there is no method behind those numbers. The cut-off is not set in advance: it falls out of the merit list once the papers are marked, so it depends on how a few thousand strangers happened to do. In the table above the UR JRF figure has ranged from 42% to 58.875% across 8 sittings, and it fell by more than eight points between two consecutive ones. A prediction would be the only number on this site you could not check.
What is worth doing instead: take a full paper under the real clock, score it under the real marking scheme, and compare that against the range above.
