RBI Grade B Cut Off 2026: Phase 1, Phase 2 and Final Marks
Last updated: 2026-11-11 · MockMentor
RBI publishes cut-off marks with each result of the RBI Grade B (DR) General exam. There are three: a Phase-I cut-off for reaching Phase-II, a Phase-II cut-off for an interview call, and a final cut-off, which is the score of the last candidate selected.
2026 final cut off (General): 241.25 out of 375. That is about 64%, and about 10 marks higher than in 2025.
How the final cut-off is worked out
- Phase-I (200 marks) only decides who goes to Phase-II. Its marks do not count in the final list.
- Phase-II (300 marks) has three papers: Economic and Social Issues (ESI), English (Writing Skills) and Finance and Management. Your Phase-II score decides the interview call.
- Interview (75 marks) is added to the Phase-II score. The final merit list is on 375 marks: 300 from Phase-II and 75 from the interview.
So the final cut-off of 241.25 in 2026 means the last General candidate selected scored 241.25 out of 375 across Phase-II and the interview.

What the numbers tell you
The General final cut-off has gone up two years in a row: 226.75 in 2024, 230.75 in 2025 and 241.25 in 2026. Phase-II jumped from 171.50 to 186.00 in 2026.
For 2027, a safe target is around 190 to 200 in Phase-II and 245 or more in the final list. Phase-II carries 300 of the 375 marks, so most of that gap is made up in ESI and Finance and Management, and 200 of those 300 marks are descriptive. In 2026, the Phase-I overall cut-off of 108.75 out of 200 came with a General Awareness minimum of 39 out of 80, so GA also needs regular work. See our 2026 Phase 1 GA questions.
