Hi Rahul,

Borderline meaning

Passing or failing a candidate is a complex decision with one essential aspect being the definition of the required minimal level of competence. Commonly used methods, such as the Angoff method, are based on the 'borderline competence' concept; however, the method describes a 'borderline candidate'--a fictitious person, rather than describing a set of clearly defined criteria that describe a real person whose competencies fall between the clearly incompetent and clearly competent--the borderline zone.
