How to read this (tap)
- •All figures are GS marks (out of 100). All assume CSAT ≥ 33 has been cleared.
- •"Safe" = comfortably above the cutoff if HPSC uses a 1:12 shortlist ratio.
- •"Borderline" = call only likely if HPSC stretches the ratio to 1:15.
- •These are estimates derived from the released marks list. Not official HPSC figures.
- •ESM / PwBD horizontal cutoffs will be announced separately by HPSC.
