After the second phase examination, the IBPS releases the IBPS SO Cut-off 2023 marks for the mains exam. Officials have already shared the IBPS SO Prelims Cutoff with the PO Prelims scorecard. Candidates can compare the cut offs for each subject and category, as well as the previous year’s cut offs. Learn how the IBPS SO cutoff marks are determined and how provisional allotment works.
Also, learn how to download the IBPS SO cut off. Also, see the IBPS SO Prelims, Mains, and Final Cut Offs for the years 2021/20/19/18/17/16.
There are two types of IBPS Specialist Officer cutoffs: sectional and overall.
Along with the results of each stage, the cut off marks will be announced.
Candidates must complete IBPS SO Practice Papers in order to comprehend the trends in questions asked in the Prelims and Mains exams. It will be extremely beneficial in overcoming the cutoff score.
All students who meet the sectional and overall cutoffs will be considered for the next round of the selection process.
Those who do not meet the cutoff will not be considered for the Specialists Officer Mains Exam.

How to Check the IBPS SO 2023 Cut-off?
The IBPS SO 2023 Cut-offs have been published on the IBPS official website. They are simple to examine and download. The steps to do so are as follows.
Before the IBPS SO final result is released, IBPS releases two separate cut off lists: Provisional Allotment and Reserve List. The following are the explanations for both lists:
Provisional Allotment in IBPS SO is defined as the minimum marks that students must obtain in order to be provisionally allotted in any of the participating banks. Provisional Allotment will be determined by calculating out of 100 and based on the date of birth to eliminate ties.
IBPS will prepare a backup list, which will be the final waiting list, to fill up to 10% reserved vacancies in participating banks for each category. Provisional allotment will never be considered for students on the reserve list.
As a result, the maximum and minimum IBPS Specialist Officer Cut off for various previous years is listed below, both by category and by post.
Factors affecting Cut-off
The students’ Preliminary exam scores will not be considered in the final merit list. The IBPS cut off marks will be determined based on the following factors:
Total Number of Vacancies
Marking scheme
Total Number of Candidates Participating in each stage
The difficulty level of questions
Last year cut-off trends
Reservation norms
IBPS SO Previous Year’s Cut-off
IBPS SO 2020 and 2023 cut-offs have yet to be announced. Candidates studying for the exam, however, should be aware of the cut-offs. For a better understanding of the aspirants, we have provided a list of previous year’s cut-offs.
