How cut-offs work
NIACL publishes cut-offs after each tier, State-wise and category-wise:
- Tier I: a cut-off in each test (English, Reasoning, Numerical Ability) and a State-wise cut-off on the total.
- Tier II: a minimum on the total out of 250: 55% (137.5) for UR and EWS, 50% (125) for ex-servicemen, and 45% (112.5) for SC, ST, OBC and PwBD. The State cut-off is then set on top of this.
Because selection is State-wise, the cut-off depends heavily on your State's vacancies.
