Factors Affecting ISRO ICRB Cut Off Marks
The cut-off marks for ISRO Scientist recruitment are dynamic and influenced by several key factors:
- Number of Vacancies: Higher vacancies in a discipline may lead to a relatively lower cut-off, and vice-versa.
- Difficulty Level of the Written Test: A more challenging question paper typically results in lower overall scores and thus a reduced cut-off threshold.
- Number of Applicants: The intensity of competition, which varies by discipline (e.g., Computer Science and Electronics are traditionally highly competitive), directly impacts the cut-off.
- Candidate Performance: The overall performance distribution of candidates in a given year.
- Reservation Policy: As mandated by government rules, separate cut-offs are maintained for UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwBD categories, ensuring equitable shortlisting.
