What this tells you: RRB Clerk Prelims cut-offs are high, often above 70 out of 80. You need speed and accuracy in both Reasoning and Numerical Ability, because there is no English section to make up marks.
How the cut-off is set
| Stage | What you must clear |
|---|---|
| Prelims (80 marks) | Minimum in Reasoning and Numerical Ability, and a high enough total |
| Mains (200 marks) | Minimum in each of the 5 tests, and a high enough total for your State and category |
| Final list | Mains marks only |
What moves the cut-off
- State vacancies: Uttar Pradesh has 1,200 Office Assistant posts in 2026, while several States have under 100.
- Number of applicants in your State.
- Paper difficulty in your shift.
Because Mains decides the final list, a Prelims score just above the cut-off is enough. Put your effort into Mains, especially General Awareness, where well-prepared candidates gain the most.
