How to calculate IBPS SO Cut off 2018
While calculating the IBPS SO cutoff, Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) adopts the below-given process.
Scores: The corrected scores secured by the candidates in different sessions (if held) are normalised with the use of the equipercentile method. It must be noted that scores up to two decimal points are taken for the purpose of calculation.
A total of 100 marks are allotted for the interview. Candidates have to secure the minimum qualifying marks in the interview are 40% for unreserved or General Category, while the minimum qualifying marks for SC/ST/OBC/PWD candidates are 35%. The combined final score of the candidates is calculated by giving 80% weightage to the online mains exam marks and 20% weightage to the marks scored in the interview. Candidates have to qualify in both the IBPS SO 2018 online mains exam and interview and be sufficiently high in the merit to be shortlisted for subsequent allotment process.
Cut off Score: Each candidate will be required to secure the minimum score in each test and also a minimum total score, as explained below. Only then the candidates will be considered for shortlisting for interview. Depending on the number of vacancies, IBPS SO cut off will be decided and candidates will be shortlisted for interview. Before the completion of the interview procedure, scores secured in the online exam will not be shared with the candidates shortlisted for interview.
Means – 3/4th of standard deviation for SC/ST/OBC/PWD categories
Mean – 1/4th of standard deviation for General Category
