RRB NTPC Exam Cut Off 2023 Factors
Several different factors decide RRB NTPC cut off. RRB NTPC changes every year, so RRB NTPC cut off 2023 will differ from the previous year's RRB NTPC cut off. RRB NTPC cut off is decided each year based on the following factors.

- Number of vacancies for that year
- The overall difficulty level of the exam
- Category-wise reservation criteria as per RRB
- Performance of the candidates in the exam.
RRB NTPC 2023 Score Calculation
Before RRB NTPC exam cut off is decided, aspirants should know the basic scoring terminology of RRB NTPC 2023 exam. These terms are regarding the raw scores obtained by the candidate.
Raw Score: Raw Score is the primary stage of the marks obtained by the candidate. RRB NTPC exam consists of questions that carry 1 (one) mark each, and for each wrong answer given by the candidate, 0.25 marks are deducted.
Suppose the total number of questions attempted by the candidate is 60 if the number of wrongly answered questions is 10. Then, the raw score will be calculated as:
Raw Score = 70 – 10 – (0.25 * 10) = 57.5
Hence, the raw score of the candidate is 57.5.
Average Score: RRB NTPC 2023 exam will be consisting of multiple papers. There are three papers in RRB NTPC exam: Paper-I, Paper-II, and Paper-III. RRB NTPC result obtained by the candidate in each of the papers is 84, 70 and 65. Then the average score of the candidate will be calculated as per formulae.
Average Score = (84 + 70 +65)/3 = 73
Hence, the Average Score of the candidate is 73.
RRB NTPC Normalized Cut Off Score
Since RRB NTPC exam will be conducted in different settings and batches, the difficulty level of the exam will vary accordingly. Hence, to nullify this effect, the normalization of the score is done. Formulae for RRB NTPC normalization scores are as follows.
To explain the above evaluation, consider the following:
- The average marks obtained by the candidate who appeared in all shifts are 35.
- The average marks of the top 0.1% of candidates are 70.
- You have appeared in a batch, which is more accessible, and the marks obtained by the top 0.1% of candidates are 80.
- The average marks obtained by the candidates of your batch are 65.
- You have obtained 75 marks.
Now, the normalized marks obtained by you will be calculated as:
[{(70-35)/ (80-65)}*(75-65)] + 35 = 58.33
The marks obtained by the candidate in an easier shift after normalization are usually lesser than actually obtained marks. Similarly, the marks obtained by the candidates in a problematic shift after normalization will be more than the actual marks obtained.
