The Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) will soon publish the RRB NTPC CBT 1 cut off marks along with the exam results. To qualify, a candidate must meet both the cut off marks and the minimum qualifying marks set by RRB.
What Is the Cut Off?
The cut off is the score you need to move to the next round. RRB releases it in a PDF that shows category wise and zone wise cut offs. Marks are prepared using percentile based normalisation, which makes the result fair for everyone, even if shifts had different difficulty levels.
Expected CBT 1 Cut Off (Graduate Posts)
Based on the overall difficulty level, here are the expected ranges:
- EWS: 60–80 marks
- General (UR): 70–85 marks
- OBC: 65–80 marks
- SC: 55–75 marks
- ST: 50–70 marks
Minimum Qualifying Marks
To qualify, candidates must score the minimum marks set by RRB. For CBT 1 and CBT 2, the cut off is 40% for General/EWS, 30% for OBC/SC, and 25% for ST. In the CBAT exam, a minimum T Score of 42 is required. Without these marks, candidates will not be considered for selection.
What Happens Next?
Candidates who meet the rules (cut off + minimum marks) will move to the next stage of the recruitment process. Keep checking your RRB’s official website for the result PDF, cut off PDF, and next stage dates.
Conclusion
Keep your admit card handy, watch for updates, and compare your score with your zone’s cut off when it’s released. Stay calm and prepare for the next stage every mark matters.
