Rajasthan Police Constable Cut Off: How to Read and Beat It
The Rajasthan Police Constable cut-off is the minimum score a candidate needs to move ahead in the selection process. In this exam it matters at two points: the qualifying marks in the written test, and the final merit position after the physical stage is added.
We could not verify category-wise cut-off marks for the 2025 cycle on an official page. Figures quoted by other websites are mostly expected ranges, not published cut-offs, so this page does not repeat them as facts. Check the result and merit documents on the official Rajasthan Police website for the numbers that were actually released.

What cut-off means in this exam
There are two kinds of cut-off to think about. The first is the qualifying mark, the minimum written score needed to be counted at all. The second is the merit cut-off, the score at which the last candidate was selected for a post and category. The second figure depends on vacancies, applicants and paper difficulty, so it changes every cycle.
Qualifying marks
Category | Reported minimum written marks |
|---|---|
General and OBC | 40 percent (reported, tentative) |
SC and ST | 36 percent (reported, tentative) |
These percentages are reported by secondary sources and sources conflict on the details, so confirm them in the notification. On a 150-mark paper, 40 percent is 60 marks and 36 percent is 54 marks.
Past cut-off figures
Many pages list ranges such as 65 to 78 marks for the unreserved category. Those are projections made from past trends, not official numbers. Do not treat any range as a published cut-off unless it comes from the department's merit or result document, and check which cycle and post it belongs to.
Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.
What affects the cut-off
Paper difficulty: a harder reasoning section lowers the safe score.
Vacancies: more posts usually means a lower merit line.
Applicants: a larger pool for the same posts raises competition.
Category and post: General Duty, Driver and Telecommunication posts have different merit lists.
Physical stage: marks from the physical stage and bonus marks, as set in the notification, can change final rank.
How to set your target
Start with the qualifying mark: be sure to clear it in every full-length test, with margin.
Add a buffer: aim for a mock score well above the last published cut-off for your category.
Track sections: keep reasoning above 75 percent accuracy and aim for steady scores in the two knowledge sections.
Count negative marks: measure your net score after deductions, not just correct answers.
Prepare the physical stage too: it can change your final position even after a strong written score.
