IBPS RRB PO Cut Off: State-wise Prelims and Mains Marks (2025)
Last updated: 2026-11-14 · MockMentor
IBPS does not announce cut-off marks in advance. It fixes them after each stage, State by State and category by category, depending on vacancies and how candidates scored. The rules below are from the CRP RRBs-XV notification. IBPS shows your marks and the cut-off in your score card after each result.

What this tells you: the cut-off depends far more on your State than on the paper. Gujarat and Karnataka, with many posts, had low Prelims cut-offs; northern States with few posts were 20 or more marks higher.
How the cut-off is set
Cut-off at each stage
| Stage | What you must clear |
|---|---|
| Prelims (80 marks) | A minimum in Reasoning and in Quantitative Aptitude, and a high enough total in your State and category |
| Mains (200 marks) | A minimum in each of the 5 tests, and a high enough total; up to 3 times the vacancies go to interview |
| Interview (100 marks) | 40% (35% for SC/ST/OBC/PwBD) |
| Final merit | Mains and interview in the ratio 80:20 |
Why RRB PO cut-offs differ by State
- Each State is a separate competition. You apply for one State, so the cut-off depends on the posts and applicants in that State.
- Vacancies vary widely. Gujarat has 600 Officer Scale I posts in 2026; smaller States have far fewer.
- Language papers. Candidates in States where tests are offered in the regional language may score differently from others.
How to use past cut-offs
- Compare a State's cut-off only with the same State and category from earlier years.
- Remember that Prelims marks do not carry forward. Mains and interview decide the final list.
- Aim well above the sectional minimum in Mains. Clearing every section is not enough if your total is below the State's cut-off.
