Factors Affecting Rajasthan Police SI Cut-Off Marks

Each year, the Rajasthan Police SI Cut-Off Marks are different. Why is this so? The reason for different cut off marks and the factors that affect the cut off marks are given below.

• How many candidates appear for the exam is a significant deciding factor.  If many candidates get high marks, then the cut off will be higher. 
• How many vacancies have been advertised – the more the number of vacancies, the lower will be the cut-off marks, the fewer the number of vacancies, the higher will be the cut-off marks.
• How difficult the written Examination was – the more complex the written examination, the lower will be the cut-off marks, the easier the written examination, the higher will be the cut off marks. 
• Which category is the candidate in – the cut-off mark for different categories is different. For example, the General category cut-off marks are higher than those for the SC/ST category. 

Based on the cut-off marks in previous years, an estimate has been made of what a candidate can expect for Cut-Off Marks in 2021.  Please note that these are just estimates and not the officially declared cut off marks from the Board.

Rajasthan Police Sub Inspector Final Selection Cut-Off

Those candidates who are declared as having qualified for the written examination are eligible for the next stage in selecting for SI in Rajasthan Police.  The next stage is the PET (Physical Efficiency Test). PET carries a maximum of 100 marks.  To qualify in PET, the candidate must obtain a minimum of 50 marks or 50% marks. Only then will the candidate move on to the next stage and on to the process of final selection.

The next stage after clearing PET is the final interview. Post the interview, a merit list will be made and declared.  This merit list is made based on the marks which the candidate scored both during the written examination and at the time of the interview. The Rajasthan Police SI Final Cut Off scores would be updated after the result is declared. 

Conclusion                                                                                  

The Rajasthan Police SI Cut Off Marks of the previous years, which can be found on the official website of the Rajasthan Public Service Commission, are a good indicator of what to expect in the Rajasthan Police SI examination for 2021.  It is also possible that this year the cut off marks will be higher because the number of candidates appearing for the examination is expected to be higher. The examination is being postponed due to the pandemic situation, and this should give you more time to be well prepared to qualify even if the cut off marks are higher than the previous year. So, study well, with total concentration and best of luck.
