Factors Influencing Expected Cut Offs

Several factors can influence the cut off marks for SSC CGL 2020:

Exam Difficulty: The ease or difficulty of the Tier 1 paper can significantly affect the cut off marks. A more challenging paper often leads to higher cut off marks. Normalization Process: The normalization process adjusts scores based on the difficulty of the paper to ensure fairness across different shifts and branches. Change in Exam Pattern: Any changes in the exam pattern can also impact cut off marks.

Opinions on 2020 Cut Offs

Here are opinions from candidates and experts on the expected cut off marks for SSC CGL 2020:

Dewansh Singh:

“It is almost impossible to predict. If normalization happens like last year, marks might not increase much. Based on the easier paper this year, the cut off might be around 142 for UR (Unreserved Category).

Others:

“The Tier 1 CGL 2019 paper was easier compared to previous years. Therefore, the cut off may be 5–10 marks more than last year’s cut off.”

“We should wait till the last shift ends. But if you still want to guess, it might be around 115–120. Since the exam level is quite similar to previous years.”
