Cut-Off Marks Deep Dive – SBI Clerk 2025 (Prelims & Mains)
Understanding cut-off trends can provide clarity and help aspirants assess their standing. Here’s a summary based on official SBI data and reliable sources like Career Power.
Prelims Cut-Off Highlights
The preliminary exam concluded in March 2025, and the SBI Clerk Prelims cut-offs were released state-wise and category-wise soon after. These marks determine who advances to the mains exam.
For example:
- Bihar (General): ~47.25
- Delhi (General): ~67
- Karnataka (General): ~72.5
Overall, the prelims cut-offs varied significantly across states—from the high 60s to the mid-40s—depending on competition and vacancy distribution.
Mains (Final) Cut-Off Trend
The official Mains cut-offs were released along with the scorecards on 12 June 2025. These are the final benchmarks for selection and reflected intense competition.
State-wise general category cut-offs included:
- Bihar (General): ~80.50
- Chandigarh (General): ~89.50
- Rajasthan (General): ~85.00
These figures highlight how the final merit list draws from a high-scoring pool of applicants.
Why Cut-Offs Vary Widely
Several factors influence the cut-off marks:
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: Easier papers tend to result in higher cut-offs.
- Number of Vacancies: States with more openings (like Uttar Pradesh or Bihar) often have slightly lower cut-offs due to higher allocation.
- Number of Candidates: Denser applicant pools result in increased competition.
- Previous Year Trends: SBI takes historical cut-off patterns into account to calibrate final thresholds.
Final Verdict
If your score is near or above the mains cut-off for your category and state, you’re in a strong position for consideration in the wait list or merit list.
However, if you narrowly missed the cut-off, use this as a benchmark for future preparation: focus on sectional accuracy, speed, and thorough revision. Let me know if you’d like help crafting a smart preparatory plan for the next SBI cycle!
