what are cutoffs? i see cutoffs in many clleges , exams etc. pls explain
Hello,
Cut off is the minimum score or rank that you need to score in order to qualify in the entrance examination. For example if an exam is conducted for 100 marks and the cut off mentioned is 60 marks then you need to score minimum 60 marks or more in the exam in order to qualify in the exam. Cut off is determined based on various factors such as total number of candidates appeared, difficulty level of examination total number of vacancies and other such factors. Each year the cut off changes. It will be different for each category depending on the exam.
