The IBPS RRB Clerk Exam:
The Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) conducts the Regional Rural Bank (RRB) Clerk Exam to recruit candidates for the post of Office Assistant (Clerk) in various regional rural banks across the country. The exam consists of two stages: Preliminary Exam and Main Exam.

Cutoff Marks:
The cutoff marks for the IBPS RRB Clerk Exam are the minimum marks that candidates need to secure in order to qualify for the next stage of the selection process. The cutoff marks are determined by various factors such as the number of vacancies, the difficulty level of the exam, and the performance of the candidates.

Guidelines and Instructions:
The IBPS provides specific guidelines and instructions regarding the cutoff marks for the RRB Clerk Exam. These guidelines are important for the candidates to understand the selection process and to plan their preparation accordingly. Here are some of the guidelines and instructions provided:

1. Preliminary Exam Cutoff: The IBPS releases the cutoff marks for the Preliminary Exam after the declaration of the result. Candidates need to secure the sectional as well as overall cutoff marks to qualify for the Main Exam.

2. Main Exam Cutoff: Similar to the Preliminary Exam, candidates need to secure the sectional as well as overall cutoff marks in the Main Exam to qualify for the next stage of the selection process, i.e., the interview round.

3. Category-wise Cutoff: The cutoff marks are released separately for different categories such as General, OBC, SC, ST, etc. Candidates belonging to different categories have different cutoff marks.

4. Normalization Process: In some cases, the IBPS uses the normalization process to determine the cutoff marks. This process is used when the exam is conducted in multiple shifts to ensure fairness in the selection process.

5. Qualification Marks: In addition to the cutoff marks, candidates also need to secure the minimum qualification marks in each section of the exam. Failing to do so will result in disqualification.

6. Final Cutoff: The final cutoff marks are determined based on the combined performance of candidates in the Main Exam and the interview round. Candidates who clear the final cutoff are eligible for the provisional allotment.
