Factors Influencing UPSC EPFO APFC Cut Off Marks:

Cut offs are the minimum qualifying marks set by the regulating body that candidates must achieve in order to advance to the next round of recruitment. If you do not meet the cut-off marks, you will be unable to advance in the recruitment process. You can examine the important factors that play a significant role in determining the final cutoffs.

• The difficulty level of the exam during the recruitment stage is a major determinant of the official cut-off statistics.
• Previous year cut-off trends are also considered when determining the final cut-off marks.
