Cutoff of IBPS PO is basically a selection parameter which is applied on the marks of the candidate. It is used for two purposes – to delimit the number of candidates in the examination and recruitment process and to ensure that only the most deserving candidates make it to the next round. Hence it is required for each candidate to score as much marks as possible to strengthen the chances of selection. Higher the marks in the exam better is the chance of selection. If the marks of the candidate are equal to or more than the IBPS PO cutoff, he would be selected but if the marks are less than the cutoff, he would be rejected.

Process for Arriving at Scores

• Number of questions answered correctly by a candidate in each objective test is considered for arriving at the Corrected Score after applying penalty for wrong answers.

• The Corrected Scores so obtained by a candidate are made equivalent to take care of the minor difference in difficulty level, if any, in each of the objective tests held in different sessions to arrive at the Equated Scores*. * Scores obtained by candidates on any test are equated to the base form by considering the distribution of scores of all the forms.

• Final scores in each test are rounded off to the nearest integer.
