Candidates will have to clear both the overall state cutoff and the individual sectional cutoff marks to move to the Mains stage of the selection process.
Factors Influencing the IBPS Clerk Cutoff Marks
The cutoff marks for the IBPS Clerk prelims vary each year due to a combination of administrative and performance-related factors. There is no fixed cutoff before the exam; it is determined dynamically after all the exam shifts have been completed.
- Higher seat allocations directly lower the cutoff marks, whereas reduced vacancies increase competition.
- Because the exam is conducted on multiple days, IBPS uses the normalisation method to normalise scores across all difficulty levels and easy shifts.
- Overall candidate volume and accuracy rates across shifts directly influence the final scoring distributions.
