Why RSSB 4th Grade Cut Off Dropped After Normalisation?
Normalisation is applied to balance scores across easy and difficult shifts. The process recalculates raw marks into adjusted scores. While it ensures fairness, it also impacts borderline candidates and lowers cut offs when tougher shifts dominate the merit calculation.
RSSB 4th Grade 2025 Final Selection Process
Despite the large number of vacancies, competition remained intense. Over 26,436 applications were rejected during scrutiny. Candidates leaving more than 10% unanswered questions were disqualified. Normalisation further reshuffled the merit rankings. Final selection will depend on Document Verification, eligibility confirmation, and medical fitness where applicable.
What Candidates Should Do Next?
Candidates should download their final scorecard, verify category-wise cut off marks, and keep original documents ready for verification. Official notifications should be monitored regularly, and unverified information should be avoided.
