Factors Affecting the OSCB Banking Assistant Cutoff

The Board will release the OSCB Banking Assistant Cutoff marks at the end of the recruitment. The cutoff marks are different for each year. The variation in the cutoff marks takes place considering various factors. The factors are:

• Number of Vacancies

The number of vacancies available plays a major role in determining the cutoff marks. If the number of available vacancies is high, the cutoff marks would be lower. But, if there are only a few vacancies, the cutoff marks will go up. 

• Number of Candidates sitting for the Exam

The higher the number of candidates sitting for the exam, 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 question paper also affects the calculations of the cutoff marks. The more difficult the questions paper will be, the lower the cutoff marks, whereas an easier question paper will have higher cutoff marks. 

• The performance of candidates

The cutoff marks will be higher if the average performance of the candidates is high. If the average performance of the candidates is low, then the cutoff too will be lower.

• Number of Stages in the Recruitment Process

The number of stages in the recruitment process also plays a role in deciding the OSCB Banking Assistant Cutoff. Fewer the number of stages in the recruitment process will mean that the cutoff will be high, whereas a higher number of stages of the recruitment process will have a lower cutoff.

If you have applied/are planning to apply for the post of OSCB Banking Assistant, a tentative idea of the cutoff will be to your advantage as it will help you prepare for the exam with a set target in mind. Since the final cutoff will be announced by the authority only after the exam is over, you will have to rely on the previous years' cutoff marks.
