IBPS PO Cutoff 2015(expected), 2014 and 2013

IBPS PO Cutoff 2015(expected), 2014 and 2013 :

IBPS PO Cutoff 2015 – For all the candidates enquiring about the IBPS PO Cutoff for 2015, we have compiled this article so that you can get an estimated idea of the least qualifying marks in the examination to get selected in the next stage. As you all know, this year onwards, IBPS would conduct the Probationary Officer CWE examination in two tiers – tier 1 (prelims) and tier 2 (mains). IBPS PO Result 2015 for Prelims Exam to be declared in 3rd week of October 2015… Click the link to details. The first tier is of qualifying in nature while the second tier is qualifying and marks from this round would be assessed to calculate the cumulative score. Naturally the number of applications of cutoff has risen from the last year. Before we put forth the figures of cutoff from previous year and estimated cutoff for this year, let’s take a look on what IBPS PO cutoff is. 

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.

Intricacies of IBPS PO Cutoff 2015

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.

Shift The Gear To Crack IBPS PO Mains

Shift The Gear To Crack IBPS PO Mains:

Good Morning Friends,

With half of the tension getting over on Saturday, we all have got the next target i.e. IBPS PO Mains. Many students wondering about how to get started and how to keep the studies going on, we would like to say some things that will help you keep moving forward. Let's get it right.

Hope you all have seen the One Day International match on Sunday. It disappointing to see India losing but it was really a great match from good cricket point of view. With AB and Rohit Sharma playing a great innings, the match was really fantastic to watch. You all must be wondering why we are quoting a match that India lost. Let's take the example of Rohit Sharma. He has played a wonderful innings and he continued to play better after his 100 knock in T20's.

Now coming back to IBPS, many students have performed well and many have somehow managed to attain the mark of 40. Those who have attempted less are either demotivated or have accepted the defeat. We don't understand why people start accepting the defeat before the results. Why they stop preparing after they appear for any exam. Listen friends, this is just an exam and we know that it is important then what is the point of getting demotivated. Let the result come first and let the IBPS release the marks. What if you clear the result by margin and get the chance to appear for the Mains exam. No one knows anything for certain. So leave everything behind and keep the momentum going as it will help you in future exam as well.

Now coming to those students who have performed well in the exam, we would just like to say that don't lose your focus. You have done good and it's good to be confident. But do remember friends, confident is good but over confidence may snatch this opportunity from you. Just be calm and composed and don't let anything distract you. Just try to maintain the flow like Rohit Sharma.

What you should start with?

You all have studied English, Quant and Reasoning for preliminary exam and you have covered approximately everything in that subject. What you are left with is General Awareness. We recommend you to start with GA and keep practising the Speedtests. With time bounded practice, you can achieve the desired result. Because the Time put some pressure on the student and students perform well in pressure. If you handle the pressure well, then you will be a winner just like South Africa but if you are unable to perform well, then you will be a better player in the next speedtest. So keep studying and keep preparing. Hope to see you all becoming Probationary Officer.
