Firstly you have to satisfy minimum eligibility criteria that is 55%(45% for SC/ ST) in BSc(qualifying degree) and 50% marks in qualifying exam. Then cutoff will depend on factors like number of candidates appeared in exam and difficulty level of exam.

There is no such restriction on General category students that they are not eligible. General category students generally have to score more to be eligible but even that criteria is very relaxed. AUS conduct their entrance exam for which you can refer here :- https://www.ausadmission.in.
