Factors Considered for TNPSC Group 4 Cut Off
Certain factors affect the TNPSC Group 4 Cut Off, which results in slight changes in the cut off every year. These factors are detailed below:
1. Number of Vacancies: The total number of vacancies announced for various posts significantly impacts the cutoff. More vacancies generally lead to a lower cutoff, while fewer vacancies lead to higher cutoff marks.
2. Number of Applicants: The number of candidates appearing for the exam also affects the cutoff. A higher number of applicants can increase the competition, resulting in a higher cutoff.
3. Difficulty Level of the Exam: The difficulty level of the exam paper plays a crucial role. If the paper is more difficult, the cutoff marks might be lower as fewer candidates would score high marks. Conversely, an easier paper could result in higher cutoff marks.
4. Category of Candidates: Cutoff marks are released category-wise (General, BC, MBC, SC, ST, etc.). Different categories have different cutoff marks, often influenced by reservation policies and the number of candidates within each category.
5. Previous Years' Cutoff Trends: Historical data and trends from previous years' cutoffs can influence the current year’s cutoff. Candidates and exam authorities often consider previous years' cutoffs while setting and predicting the current year’s benchmarks.
6. Performance of Candidates: The overall performance of the candidates in the exam impacts the cutoff. If a larger number of candidates score high marks, the cutoff will likely be higher.
7. Normalization Process: If the exam is conducted in multiple sessions, the normalization process to ensure fairness across different sessions can also affect the final cutoff marks.
