GOVT. DC shows unpredictable BDS cutoffs: AIR 39,696 in 2023, AIR 52,410 in 2024, AIR 47,189 in 2025. Plan for volatility. For ST BDS candidates, the effective cutoff of AIR 2,40,402 is far more lenient than the OPEN mark of AIR 47,189. History shows BDS seats going in Round 2 and beyond, so keep GOVT. DC on your preference list.
