Factors Affecting IBPS PO Cut Off

The SSC MTS Cut Off 2025 are based on various factors listed below:

  • Number of vacancies released that year: The cut-off marks are generally lower when the number of openings is high and higher when the openings are lower.
  • The level of difficulty in Prelims and Mains exams: Cut-off marks go lower if the difficulty level is higher than the previous years.
  • Number of applicants that year: A huge number of applications increases the competition, thereby increasing the cut-off marks.
  • Category reservation and normalization: The cut-off varies based on category-wise reservations, with relaxation provided for SC, ST, OBC, and EWS candidates. Additionally, the normalization process ensures fairness by adjusting scores across different shifts to balance difficulty variations.

How to Use Cut Offs to Plan Your Preparation Smartly

  • Knowing and analysing the IBPS PO Previous Year Cut-Off is crucial to a banking aspirant’s preparation, as it helps them set a realistic target.
  • It is advised that aspirants check overall cut-off marks and not forget the sectional cut-off marks because in the IBPS PO exam, a candidate is required to clear the sectional cut-off in order to get selected.
  • Always aim for 5 to 10 marks more than the previous year’s cut-off to be on the safer side. For instance, if the Prelims cut off for English was 8 marks last year, aim for at least 10–12 marks in mocks to stay safe.
