Since SSC SA IMD is conducted irregularly, cutoff data is available from the 2017 and 2022 cycles. Both cycles had approximately 900 posts, making the cutoff data directly comparable. Part B (Physics/CS) performance is the primary differentiator given its 100-mark weight.

Key Cutoff Influencing Factors
- Part B difficulty – Physics and CS paper difficulty directly shifts cutoffs by 5–10 marks between cycles
- Number of applicants – SA IMD attracts fewer candidates than SSC CGL, keeping overall competition moderate
- Vacancies – With ~900 posts, cutoffs are lower than high-vacancy low-post exams
- Normalization – If conducted in multiple shifts, normalization may adjust effective cutoffs
