Key Factors Influencing Cut-off Marks
- 1.Total Vacancies: Higher vacancy counts generally lead to lower qualifying threshold marks across categories.
- 2.Paper Difficulty Level: A higher proportion of tough questions results in a moderated average normalized score.
- 3.Applicant Volume: Increasing competition raises the upper percentile requirement for tier progression.
- 4.Normalization Formula: Multi-shift CBT examinations use standard score normalization to balance session disparities.
Tie-Breaking Protocol in Merit Ranking
In cases where two or more candidates obtain identical aggregate cut-off scores, commission tie-breaking rules determine rank seniority:
- Higher marks obtained in core technical or domain-specific examination papers.
- Seniority by date of birth (older candidates placed higher in the merit list).
- Alphabetical order of candidate names as registered in Class 10 matriculation records.
