Factors Affecting TS SET Cutoff 2025

The TS SET cut-off marks are dynamic, and they change every year with the presence of several influencing factors. The university publishes category-wise cut-off marks for each subject with TS SET 2025 results. The factors that affect the TS SET 2025 cutoff marks are:

  • Categories of Candidates: Cutoff scores for reserved and unreserved categories keep on changing with every passing year. The university allows some degree of flexibility to candidates from underrepresented groups, which can impact the overall cutoff.
  • Difficulty Level of the Exam: The cut-off marks also depend on the difficulty of the TS SET exam. If the paper is easier, the cut-off marks may be higher; if it is harder, they might be lower.
  • Average Candidate Performance: The average performance of all the test-takers also comes into play. The higher the average scores then, the higher will be the cutoff scores as great performance increases the bar in each category.
  • Cutoff Trends of Previous Year: A pattern is also followed by the university in cut-off scores with the precedent set by the previous years. You can estimate and prepare accordingly to have a TS SET 2025 cutoff for yourself by checking the cut-off marks from previous years.

How to Check TS SET Cutoff 2025

To check the TS SET 2025 cutoff, candidates need to follow the steps given below.

  • Step 1: Open your web browser and go to the Official Website of Osmania University.
  • Step 2: Once on the website, navigate to the "Cut Off" or "Merit List" section. This section is where you will find the link to access the cut off marks.
  • Step 3: In the Cut Off section, you will need to select the category you belong to, such as General, SC/ST, BC-A, BC-B, BC-C, BC-D, or PH.
  • Step 4: After selecting your category, you'll be prompted to enter your login details. This is typically your roll number or any other credentials required to access your cut-off marks.
  • Step 5: Once you have entered your login details, your cut-off marks will be displayed on the screen. Take note of your marks and see how they compare to the minimum required marks for your category.
  • Step 6: Check your rank and percentage score to see if you have qualified for the next round of the selection process. This will give you an idea of where you stand in comparison to other candidates.

Process for Setting the TG SET 2025 Cutoff

Here's a step-by-step guide on how the TS SET 2025 cutoff marks will be determined ensuring fairness and adherence to Telangana's reservation policies:

Step 1: Select Qualified Candidates

To qualify for the Assistant Professor position, 6% of all candidates who completed both papers of the TS-SET exam will be selected. This percentage shows the amount of candidates who are eligible to move forward.

Step 2: Slot Allocation per Category

The available slots are separated into categories based on Telangana's reservation standards. Here's a breakdown by category:

  • BC-A: 7%
  • BC-B: 10%
  • BC-C: 1%
  • BC-D: 7%
  • BC-E: 4%
  • EWS: 10%
  • SC: 15%
  • ST: 10%
  • General (Unreserved): 36%

In addition,

  • Women Candidates: 33⅓% of the openings in all subjects and categories shall be reserved for women candidates. Even if there are more than 33⅓% women candidates in any category due to merit, the percentage of reservations is waived. If not enough women are in a particular category, then, from that category, the remaining slots will be filled by male candidates.
  • Persons with Disabilities (PWD): A 3% horizontal reservation cutting across all categories, namely, OC, BC, SC, ST, and Transgender to avail equal opportunities in all subjects.

Step 3: Minimum Qualification Marks

To qualify, you must obtain the following minimum scores on both papers:

  • General (unreserved): 40% aggregate marks.
  • Reserved Categories (SC, ST, BC, PWD, Transgender): 35% total marks.

Step 4: Identify Qualified Candidates by Subject and Category

Finally, the number of qualifying candidates in each subject and category is calculated using a unique formula meant to strike a compromise between fair representation and general reservation policies. This ensures that the government's reservation and merit standards are followed, resulting in the appropriate proportion of qualified candidates.

TS SET 2024 Cutoff Formula

Note: To be eligible as an Assistant Professor in each subject and category, your combined percentage from both papers will determine the required cut-off based on the number of spaces available.
