Several key factors determine the cut-off marks for the SSC GD exam each year. Here are the most important ones:
- Total Number of Vacancies:
- A higher number of vacancies usually results in a lower cut-off as more positions are available.
- Fewer vacancies create tougher competition, leading to a higher cut-off.
- Number of Candidates Appearing:
- If more candidates take the exam, the competition increases, which can raise the cut-off marks.
- Exam Difficulty Level:
- If the paper is tough, fewer candidates will score high, leading to a lower cut-off.
- If the exam is easy, more candidates will score well, pushing the cut-off higher.
- Previous Year Cut-Off Trends:
- Looking at previous years’ cut-off scores helps candidates understand the expected trend for 2025.
- Reservation Policies:
- Different categories (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.) have separate reserved quotas, which impact the overall cut-off distribution.
- Normalization Process:
- Since the exam is held in multiple shifts, the difficulty level may vary. SSC applies a normalization processto ensure fairness in scoring.
