Factors Affecting UPSC EPFO Cut Off Marks 2025

Cut offs are the minimum qualifying marks set by the regulating body that candidates must obtain to be eligible for next rounds of the recruitment. In case you fail to get the cut off marks, you will not be able to move ahead in the recruitment process. You can have a look at the important factors that play a large role in determining the final cutoffs. 

1: The first factor that plays a large role in finalizing the official cutoffs is the number of vacancies available for the post. The total number of candidates appearing for the exam are also considered while setting the cutoffs. This ratio plays a large role in finalizing the qualifying marks. 

2: The difficulty level of the exam in the recruitment stage is a major factor that determines the official cut off stats.

3: Previous Year cut off trends are also taken in account for the consideration of the final cut off marks.
