- Total number of vacancies
- Number of candidates appearing
- Overall performance of candidates
Factors Affecting UP SI Cut Off
The cut-off varies every year due to multiple factors:
- Number of Vacancies: More vacancies may lower the cut-off, while fewer vacancies can increase it.
- Exam Difficulty Level: A tough paper usually leads to a lower cut-off, while an easy paper increases it.
- Number of Candidates: Higher participation increases competition and may raise the cut-off.
- Category-wise Reservation: Different seat allocations result in different cut-offs for each category.
- Overall Performance: Better average performance pushes the cut-off higher.
Role of Physical Test in UP SI Selection
After clearing the written exam cut-off, candidates are called for the Physical Efficiency Test (PET) and other stages. Performance in these stages also plays a crucial role in final selection.
