The number of candidates competing for a particular post and RRB directly affects the shortlisting score.

3. Difficulty Level
The difficulty level of the CBT can affect the overall distribution of marks.

4. Candidate Performance
If candidates perform better in a particular post/zone, the cut off can move upward.

5. Category-wise Competition
The cut off is prepared separately according to the applicable reservation categories.

6. Normalisation
Since the examination is conducted in shifts, normalised marks are relevant when determining the merit/shortlisting position.

What After the Cut Off?

Clearing the cut off does not mean that the recruitment process is complete. The next stage depends on the post for which the candidate has been shortlisted. Under CEN 08/2025, different posts can have different post-specific tests.
