These figures are <\/span><b>estimates and not the official Rajasthan SET cutoff<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rajasthan SET 2026 Public Administration Expected Cutoff<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Public Administration paper was considered a reasonably good SET paper. According to the analysis, the paper was <\/span><b>not extremely easy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, although some candidates may have found it easier depending on their preparation level. The Paper 1 level was considered manageable for candidates who had prepared the basic concepts properly. Some questions from areas such as Maths, fractions, graphs, pictorial representation and number series could have created difficulty for some candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Public Administration Paper 2, the expected cutoff is estimated based on the paper analysis and comparison with the previous cutoff. These are <\/span><b>expected ranges only<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The actual cutoff may be higher or lower depending on the final result and category-wise performance. The expected category-wise range can be understood as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 98.4279%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><b>Category<\/b><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><b>Expected Cutoff \/ Safe Score<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General\/UR<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 55%\u201358% or above<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OBC<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 68%\u201372%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SC<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 65%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ST<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Around 62%<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 33.6976%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other reserved categories<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 98.1785%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">May vary depending on category and competition<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><b>Rajasthan SET Public Administration Expected Cutoff 2026 for General Category<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For General or UR candidates, the expected cutoff for Public Administration may remain around <\/span><b>55% or above<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Candidates who are around <\/span><b>58% or higher<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can consider themselves to be in a relatively safer range based on the analysis. However, candidates should not treat 58% as a guaranteed qualifying score. The final cutoff will depend on the official result and other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rajasthan SET Public Administration Expected Cutoff 2026 for OBC<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For OBC candidates, the expected cutoff may remain comparatively higher. The analysis suggests that candidates should consider approximately <\/span><b>68%\u201372%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a possible range. Candidates scoring around <\/span><b>70% or above<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may have a better position based on this estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Rajasthan SET 2026 | Public Administration | Expected Cutoff &amp; Safe Score\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4a2BhPIzCsI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rajasthan SET Public Administration Expected Cutoff 2026 for SC<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For SC candidates, the expected cutoff discussed in the analysis is around <\/span><b>65%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, candidates should also note that the category and domicile-related rules can affect the final cutoff. There is a distinction between <\/span><b>Rajasthan State SC candidates and SC candidates from outside Rajasthan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Therefore, candidates should check the official category rules while interpreting the expected cutoff.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Rajasthan SET Public Administration Expected Cutoff 2026 for ST<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For ST candidates, the expected cutoff is estimated at around <\/span><b>62%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. This is again only an expected range and should not be considered the final qualifying cutoff.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Rajasthan SET Public Administration Safe Score 2026<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A safe score is different from the expected cutoff. The expected cutoff is an estimate of where the qualifying marks may fall, while a safe score generally refers to a score comfortably above the expected cutoff. For Public Administration, candidates can use the following broad estimate:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>General\/UR:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 58% or above may be considered a relatively safer range.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>OBC:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Around 70%\u201372% may provide a stronger position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>SC:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Around 65% or above.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>ST:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Around 62% or above.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, these are <\/span><b>estimated safe-score ranges based on the provided analysis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, not official figures.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is 55% Enough for Rajasthan SET Public Administration?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For General\/UR candidates, <\/span><b>55% may be around the expected cutoff range<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, candidates should not assume that exactly 55% will guarantee qualification. A score around <\/span><b>58% or above<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can be considered a relatively safer range based on the estimate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Is 70% a Safe Score for Public Administration?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For OBC candidates, the analysis suggests that <\/span><b>around 70% or above<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> may be a relatively safer range. However, the final cutoff will only be known after the official Rajasthan SET result and cutoff are released.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/course-details\/MTc1NTUxMjU5NHw1Mzg=?utm_source=website_seo1&amp;utm_medium=blog1&amp;utm_campaign=study_planner1&amp;utm_id=seo_3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14802\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jrfadda.com\/exams\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ai-owered-300x75-38.webp\" alt=\"Study Planner\" width=\"985\" height=\"246\" \/><\/a><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><b>Previous Rajasthan SET Public Administration Cutoff<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The analysis also refers to the <\/span><b>2023 Rajasthan SET Public Administration cutoff<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> while estimating the 2026 cutoff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The previous cutoff is useful as a reference point, but it cannot alone determine the 2026 cutoff.
