🔥 UP APO 2025 Expected Cut-Off (Prelims)
Based on exam difficulty (moderate to difficult), low attendance (54.37%), and candidate feedback, here is a realistic expected cut-off range:
📊 Category-wise Expected Cut-Off

- OBC: 110 – 120
- SC: 95 – 105
- ST: 90 – 100
- EWS: 110 – 120
👉 If paper normalization is applied, slight variation (±5 marks) possible
