A cut-off mark is the minimum score required to qualify for the next stage of a recruitment process, such as an interview, skill test, document verification, or final selection.
Cut-off marks are decided based on several important factors:
- Number of applicants appeared in the exam
- Difficulty level of the question paper
- Total number of vacancies available
- Reservation rules (SC / ST / OBC / EWS / PwD)
