Factors Affecting the IBPS PO Cut Off
The IBPS PO Cut Off is the minimum score candidates must secure to move to the next stage of the selection process. Several factors influence the cut-off, including:
Number of Vacancies: The total number of available positions directly impacts the cut-off. Fewer vacancies usually lead to a higher cut-off, while more vacancies may lower it.
Difficulty Level of the Exam: If the exam is more challenging, the cut-off tends to be lower, and if the exam is relatively easy, the cut-off is usually higher.
Number of Candidates Appeared: A higher number of candidates appearing for the exam can increase competition, potentially raising the cut-off marks.
Category of the Candidate: Cut-offs vary for different categories (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS) as per the reservation policies.
Normalisation Process: Since exams are conducted in multiple shifts, normalisation is applied to balance differences in difficulty across shifts. This ensures fairness in calculating cut-offs.
Overall Performance of Candidates: The general performance of all candidates in the exam can affect the cut-off. If most candidates score high, the cut-off may rise, and if performance is lower, the cut-off may decrease.
The cut off marks are released after the result for exam stage of IBPS PO.
