RBI Assistant Cut-Off: How It Works and Where to See It
RBI publishes the cut-off, but only on your own interactive marksheet, not as a public list.
RBI does publish an RBI Assistant cut-off, but not as a public list. With each result, RBI shows every candidate their own marksheet together with the category-wise and region-wise cut-off, on an interactive page you log in to. There is no PDF of cut-offs for everyone.
This page explains how the cut-off is set at Prelims and Mains in the 2026 recruitment (Panel Year 2025), what happens at the Language Proficiency Test, and where you see your figures. It shows no numbers, because the display is personal and RBI has not published the figures as a document.

Terms in the RBI result notices
- Region-wise cut-off
- RBI recruits for each regional office separately, so the cut-off is set for each office (region), not once for India.
- Category-wise cut-off
- Within each region, a separate cut-off for each reservation category.
- Sectional qualifying marks
- You must qualify in each test of the objective paper separately. A strong total does not cover a failed section.
- Equipercentile normalisation
- When the exam runs in several sessions, scores are adjusted so that a given percentile in an easier session matches the same percentile in a harder one. Your normalised score, not your raw score, is compared with the cut-off.
- LPT (Language Proficiency Test)
- A test that you can read, write, speak and understand the official or local language of the state. It is mandatory and pass or fail; it does not add marks.
Where to see your cut-off
- 1
Read the result notice on rbi.org.in
RBI posts a notice with the roll numbers of shortlisted candidates after Prelims and after Mains. A listed roll number means you cleared that stage.
- 2
Open the interactive marksheet
The notice says your individual marksheet and the category-wise, region-wise cut-off will be displayed interactively on the RBI website shortly after the result. Log in with your registration details when it opens.
- 3
Compare like with like
Check your normalised score against your own region and category. Another region's cut-off tells you nothing about yours.

How the exam tests this
- check_circleEvery test has its own timer, from 20 to 30 minutes in Mains, and each must be qualified separately. The trap is a high score in Numerical Ability and Reasoning with a thin General Awareness or Computer Knowledge.
- check_circleA wrong answer costs 0.25 of a mark. Near the cut-off, a wrong guess costs more than a skip.
- check_circlePrelims only decides who sits Mains. The LPT shortlist and final merit come from Mains marks.
- check_circleClearing Mains does not end it. A candidate who is not proficient in the local language is disqualified at the LPT.
Why this page shows no figures
RBI shows cut-offs only on each candidate's interactive marksheet. Figures on other sites are copied from candidates' screens and may cover only some regions. Your own marksheet is the reliable source for your result.
