    If you are a bit doubtful of any particular subject, for example, Quantitative Aptitude, then you should focus on achieving the cut-off mark by calculating how many questions you need to correctly answer to get it. In such cases only attempt questions you are most confident about.

    The cut-off marks for the RBI Grade B exam may vary from year to year based on a variety of factors, including the difficulty level of the paper, the number of applicants, and the overall performance of the candidates. Therefore, it's possible to see fluctuations in the cut-off scores from one year to the next. To get a clear understanding of the trends and changes in the past year's cut-offs, candidates should review the official data provided by the Reserve Bank of India and consider it as a reference while preparing for the exam. For e.g., since the exam for RBI Grade B Phase 1 (General stream) was considered to be challenging in terms of the difficulty level, the overall cutoff released for all categories has been lower compared to the general trend. The cutoff for RBI Grade B Phase 1 announced for the General category was at 54.25.
    If you secure the overall cut-off but do not meet the sectional cut-off in the RBI Grade B recruitment examination, it typically means that you may not qualify for that particular phase of the examination.

It's essential to focus on both overall and sectional cut-offs to ensure your eligibility for the RBI Grade B recruitment process.
