Factors That Decide the IBPS RRB Clerk Cut Off

State-wise vacancy count — states with fewer vacancies tend to have higher cut offs due to greater competition per seat.
Number of candidates per shift — a higher turnout in a particular exam shift raises the competition benchmark.
Exam difficulty per shift — easier papers tend to push cut off marks higher; tougher papers bring them down.
