Factors Affecting RRB NTPC UG CBT 1 Cut Off Marks
- A higher number of candidates appearing for the exam usually increases competition and pushes the cut off higher.
- A tougher exam generally results in fewer candidates scoring high marks, which can lower the cut off.
- A higher number of vacancies improves candidates' chances of selection and can lower the cut off.
- Cut off marks differ across General, OBC, SC, ST, and EWS categories due to reservation rules.
- When the exam is conducted in multiple shifts with varying difficulty, scores are normalized, which can affect the final cut off.
- Overall candidate performance in a shift or zone influences whether the cut off moves up or down.
