Factors Affecting WBP SI Cut Off 2025
The WBP SI Cut Off changes every recruitment cycle. Several factors influence the final score required to qualify for the next round:
Total Vacancies: When the number of posts is higher, the cut-off tends to drop, and vice versa.
Exam Difficulty: A tougher question paper often results in a lower cut-off to maintain fairness.
Number of Applicants: More candidates lead to higher competition and a higher cut-off.
Reservation Policy: Category-wise reservation also impacts the overall score range.
Candidate Performance: If the majority of examinees score high, the cut-off naturally increases.
Next Stage of Selection
Candidates who clear the prelims are now eligible to participate in the Physical Measurement Test (PMT) and Physical Efficiency Test (PET). These stages will assess the fitness level and endurance of shortlisted candidates before the Final Written Examination and Personality Test.
The WBPRB will soon announce the schedule and venue for the next phase on its official website. Aspirants are advised to check the portal regularly for updates.
