What is the Home State vs All India distinction?
Seats are split between Home State (HS) for candidates who qualify as West Bengal domicile and All India (AI) for everyone else. The two pools have separate opening and closing ranks, and HS cutoffs usually close at more relaxed ranks than AI for the same seat. Check which pool you belong to before comparing yourself to a cutoff.
