Rough idea (2019 trends):

• Around 92–95 percentile (approx.) for General category

• Could vary depending on round and seat availability

International programs usually had slightly relaxed cutoffs compared to core CSE/COE.

Exact numbers changed each round, but mid-90 percentile range was the safe zone 👍
