Understanding the Cut-Offs:

The cut-off marks are paramount as they determine a candidate’s qualification status for the various eligibility criteria (JRF, Assistant Professor, or PhD only). The NTA releases separate cut-off lists for each subject and category (Unreserved, OBC-NCL, EWS, SC, ST, PwD). These cut-offs are derived based on several factors, including:

• Number of candidates appeared: A higher number of candidates can sometimes lead to slightly higher cut-offs if the competition is intense.
• Difficulty level of the examination: If the paper is perceived as more challenging, the cut-offs may see a slight dip.
• Overall performance of candidates: The collective performance directly influences the qualifying scores.
• Availability of positions/fellowships: The number of JRF slots and Assistant Professor vacancies also plays a role in setting the cut-offs.

For the General/Unreserved category, candidates typically need to score a minimum of 40% in aggregate of both papers to be considered for qualification, while for OBC (NCL)/SC/ST/PwD categories, the minimum qualifying marks are 35%. However, meeting these minimum criteria does not guarantee qualification; candidates must also meet the subject-wise and category-wise cut-off marks for their respective disciplines.
