Zone-Wise Cut-Offs & What They Mean

How Cut-Offs Vary Across Zones & Categories

In large exams like NTPC, different regions (or “zones”) have varying competition, number of vacancies, and difficulty levels. That means cut-offs differ zone to zone.

Also categories (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS etc.) have different cut-offs.

What Factors Influence Cut-Offs

Number of candidates appearing in a given zone.

Number of vacancies in that zone for the posts.

Difficulty level of exam, variation across shifts (if applicable).

Reservation policy / category strength.

Examples of Cut-Offs from Some Regions

While the full zone-wise cut-off pdfs are published, here are indicative examples:

UR and other categories for some major zones saw higher cut-offs due to dense competition (exact numbers are in RRB PDFs)

For example, Testbook reports that cut-offs are out zone-wise for all categories.

What Next After Score Card

CBT-2 Exam Date & Preparation Tips

CBT-2 is scheduled for October 13, 2025.

Use the time between score card release and CBT-2 to review weak areas (based on subject-wise marks).

Practice mock tests under timed conditions.

Documents & Verification Process

Once CBT-2 is done, there are stages like skill test / aptitude (if your post demands), document verification.

Make sure all your certificates (education, category certificate, photo ID etc.) are in order (scanned / physical) as per RRB guidelines.

Common Issues & How to Handle Them

Forgotten Registration Number / Password

Usually, the RRB portal will have options like “Forgot registration number / roll number / password”.

Be ready with alternate details: email / phone number used while registration, birth date etc.

Discrepancies in Marks / Data on Score Card

If you feel some error (your name, marks, category etc.), note down the issue.

Reach out to RRB via the official grievance / helpdesk email or portal. Keep screenshots.

What to Do If Cut-Off Not Met

All is not lost—review where you fell short.

Plan again: revise topics, take mock exams, maybe attempt for next cycles.

Understand that high competition and exam difficulty influence cut-offs heavily.

Tips to Use Your Score Card Wisely

Analysing Strengths & Weaknesses

Subject-wise marks help you see what you did well and which sections need improvement (Reasoning, General Awareness, etc.).

Use cut-offs to assess how far you were from qualifying—this helps set realistic improvement goals.

Planning for Next Stage (CBT-2)

Know the syllabus & blueprint for CBT-2. Prepare accordingly.

Collect study materials, focus on time management & mock exams.
