RDWSD Cutoff 

The cutoffs are the deciding marks to shortlist the candidates after the written exam. The candidate must secure the cut off marks or above to qualify for the next stage. The cut off marks and minimum marks needed to clear the exam are not the same. The minimum passing/ qualifying marks are declared before the exam is conducted, whereas the cut off marks are issued only after the exam process is over. 

The cut-off marks change every year because several factors affect the cut off determining process. The cutoff marks are set considering different factors like the vacancies available, the number of candidates taking the exam, the difficulty level of the question paper, and others.

Factors Affecting the RDWSD Cutoff

• Number of Vacancies

The number of vacancies available plays an important role in the cut off being high or low. If the number of vacancies is high, the cut off marks would be lower. But if there are only a few vacancies, the cut off marks will be higher as competition increases. 

• Number of Candidates appearing for the Examination

The higher the number of candidates taking the examination, the higher the cutoff. If the number of candidates appearing is less, the cutoff will also be lower.

• Difficulty Level of the question paper

The difficulty level of the question paper also affects the calculations of the cut off marks. The more difficult the paper, the lower the cutoff marks, whereas an easier question paper will have higher cutoff marks. 

• Number of Stages in the Selection Process

The number of stages in the selection process also plays a role in deciding RDWSD Cutoff. Fewer stages in the process mean a higher cut off, whereas a higher number of stages will have a lower cut off.

• Reservation

The recruitment’s reservation policies will also affect the calculation of the cut off marks.

Conclusion

If you are an aspirant for the posts under RDWSD Karnataka, a tentative idea of the cut off will be to your advantage as it will help you prepare for the examination with a certain target in mind. Since the board will announce the final cutoff only after the examination is over, you will have to rely on the previous years’ cutoff marks. Decide on a target by assessing the previous years’ cut-off and preparing diligently for the exam.
