Expected Cut-off Trends & What It Means for You
While official cut-offs are not yet published, experts and previous years’ patterns suggest the following:
- General category candidates often need to clear a cut-off in multiple sub-sections (quant, reasoning, English, general awareness).
- The overall qualifying score may be higher than previous years due to competition.
- Shortlisting for Phase 2 is based on merit + category norms + number of vacancies.
What you should do
- If your name appears in the list, assume you’ve cleared the cut-off (though final cut-off may vary).
- If you’ve missed it this time: analyse your strengths/weaknesses and plan for next cycle—especially if your score was close.
- Keep an eye on RBI’s official notification for the exact cut-off and vacancy details.
