Cut Off

RRB SO Agriculture Officer cut-off depends heavily on vacancy count, paper difficulty, category distribution, interview marks and RRB preference. Do not use one year's cut-off as a fixed target.

Latest Vacancy Context

Cycle	Agriculture Officer vacancies	What it means
CRP RRBs XIII 2024	70	Moderate competition, limited reporting RRBs
CRP RRBs XIV 2025-26	50	Lower vacancy count, safer written score needed
CRP RRBs XV 2026-27	Not released yet	Wait for detailed notification

Latest Available Cut-Off: CRP RRBs XIV 2025-26

For Agriculture Officer Scale-II, the reported 2025-26 cut-offs were:

Stage	SC	ST	OBC (NCL)	EWS	General
Online single exam cut-off	51.75	48.75	51.75	51.75	51.75
Final cut-off after interview	41.55	36.80	50.20	49.60	51.35

The online single exam cut-off is out of the written-exam score scale. The final cut-off is after combining online exam and interview marks as per the 80:20 weightage. Use these only as previous-cycle references, not as guaranteed targets for CRP RRBs XV.

How IBPS Uses Cut-Offs

For Officer Scale-II and III:

• candidates must score minimum marks in each test of the online single exam
• candidates must also score sufficiently high in total score
• IBPS may call candidates up to three times the declared vacancies for interview
• final merit uses online exam and interview in 80:20 ratio

Safe Score Logic

The written exam is 200 marks, but final merit uses 80% weightage. Your interview is 100 marks with 20% weightage.

Example:

Written score	Written contribution after 80% weightage	Interview score	Interview contribution after 20% weightage	Final score
80 / 200	32	60 / 100	12	44
100 / 200	40	60 / 100	12	52
120 / 200	48	60 / 100	12	60
140 / 200	56	60 / 100	12	68

This is why a small written-exam difference matters. A 20-mark lead in the online exam becomes an 8-mark lead in final merit.

Target Score

Candidate position	Suggested written target
Just clearing sections	Not enough
Competitive minimum	90+
Good target	105+
Strong target when vacancies are low	120+
Very strong position	135+

These are preparation targets, not official cut-offs. Actual cut-off changes with the paper and vacancy count.

Section-Wise Safety

Section	Marks	Safe preparation target
Professional Knowledge	40	25+
Reasoning	40	25+
Financial Awareness	40	25+
English / Hindi	20	12+
Computer Knowledge	20	14+
Quant and DI	40	22+

Interview Effect

Interview is not a formality. Minimum qualifying marks are:

• 40% for General / EWS
• 35% for SC / ST / OBC / PwBD

For Agriculture Officer, interview panels may ask about your actual work experience, crop loans, KCC, subsidy schemes, NPA handling, regional crops and RRB operations. Weak interview marks can erase a decent written score.

Practical Advice

Do not chase only the last published cut-off. Build a buffer:

• clear every section comfortably
• aim for 100+ in the written test
• prepare interview documents early
• revise current agriculture and rural finance until interview
• know your preferred RRB's state agriculture profile
