The UPESSC has released the cutoff for 2,134 TGT posts across 12 subjects. Analysis shows a shrinking margin between Unreserved and OBC candidates in subjects like Mathematics and Arts.

  • UPESSC announced results for 2,134 TGT posts under Advt 01/2022.
  • The gap between UR and OBC in Mathematics and Arts is as low as 4-8 marks.
  • In subjects like Art and Agriculture, OBC cutoff exceeded EWS.
  • Science recorded the highest disparity between UR and OBC at 20.16 marks.

Prayagraj: The Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission (UPESSC) has officially released the cutoff lists for the TGT recruitment drive, covering 2,134 posts across 12 different subjects. The release of these results has sparked significant discussion regarding the competitive landscape between various social categories.

Detailed Analysis of Category-wise Cutoffs

A comprehensive analysis of the data reveals that the margin between the Unreserved (UR) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) is significantly narrowing in several core subjects. While the gap in Science remains substantial at 20.160 marks, subjects like Mathematics and Arts show a much tighter competition, with differences ranging between only 4 to 8 marks.

Mathematics and Arts: The High-Competition Zones

In Mathematics, the competitive intensity is exceptionally high. For male candidates, the UR cutoff stands at 456, while the OBC cutoff is 448. Among female candidates, the gap is even narrower, with UR at 452 and OBC at 448. Similarly, in the Arts subject, the cutoff for both UR and OBC female candidates was identical at 476, indicating a complete convergence of competitive levels in this category.

OBC vs EWS: An Unexpected Trend

One of the most striking findings in this recruitment cycle is that in certain subjects, the OBC cutoff was higher than the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) cutoff. For instance, in the Arts subject for males, the OBC cutoff was 476, surpassing the EWS cutoff of 472. This trend was also observed in Agriculture and Physical Education, where OBC candidates outperformed the EWS benchmark.

Why This Matters

BozokMedia analysis shows that these varying cutoff margins reflect the shifting patterns of academic competitiveness across different disciplines. The high disparity in Science suggests a continued dominance of the Unreserved category, whereas the minimal gap in Mathematics and Arts indicates that students across all social categories are performing at nearly identical levels of proficiency.

The narrowing cutoff gap suggests that reservation-based advantages are diminishing as merit-based competition intensifies across all categories.
