The NT category candidates require different marks for the UPSC exam every year based on considerations such as the number of applicants, the toughness of the examination, and existing vacancies. Usually, the General category cutoff marks are higher compared to the NT category because of the reservation. But it is necessary to mention that UPSC doesn't provide category-wise cutoffs for every stage (Prelims, Mains, Interview) explicitly. For an idea, you may go through the cutoffs of previous years, but it is recommended to shoot for as high a score as possible.
