Checked 29 September 2026. All cut-offs are reported by Adda247; IBPS publishes none publicly. Vacancies from IBPS Annexure I (27.09.2025 and 25.09.2026). 2026 cut-offs will exist only after the 2026 exams.
Every consolidated IBPS RRB PO cut-off table on the internet is reported, not official. IBPS shows each candidate their own scores and the cut-offs that applied to them inside the candidate login after results; we found no public state-wise cut-off document on its website. What circulates are tables that coaching sites compile from those logins. We print the most complete set we found — Adda247’s 2024 and 2025 figures — because candidates use them to set targets, but we label every number as reported and we do not “predict” 2026. Instead we put each state’s past cut-off next to the one thing that is official and new: how many Scale I posts that state has in 2026 compared with 2025.
Cut-offs reported by Adda247; vacancy change from IBPS Annexure I.
Where other pages get this wrong
IBPS gives each candidate the cut-off for their own state and category with their result; we found no public, consolidated state-wise cut-off document on ibps.in, so every state-wise table online, including this one, is reported.
Commonly published instead: Tables headed “official cut-off released by IBPS” and “expected cut-off 2026” with figures to two decimals.
The CRP RRBs-XV notification says only that candidates need a minimum score in each test and must be high enough in the merit list; cut-offs are decided by IBPS for each state and category after the exam. Two-decimal “expected” figures are guesses dressed as data.
How the cut-off works for Scale I
There are three separate hurdles. In the prelims (Reasoning 40 marks, Quantitative Aptitude 40 marks) candidates “have to qualify in both the tests by securing minimum cut-off marks”, and then enough candidates in each category, state by state, are shortlisted for the Main. In the Main, a minimum score is needed in each of the five tests and then a high enough total; interview calls go to at most three times the declared vacancies in each state per category. Finally the interview has its own minimum of 40% (35% for SC, ST, OBC and PwBD). Prelims marks do not count in the final merit — only the Main and the interview do, in the ratio 80:20.
That is why the prelims cut-off is the figure people quote: it is the first and sharpest filter, and it is fixed separately for each state and category. The sectional cut-offs matter too. Adda247 reports these for 2025 for two categories only.
| Category (2025, reported) | Reasoning (out of 40) | Quantitative Aptitude (out of 40) |
|---|---|---|
| OBC (NCL) | 13.5 | 10.75 |
| EWS | 18.75 | 14.50 |
Reported prelims cut-offs by state, 2024 and 2025
Overall prelims cut-off out of 80, General category unless the note says otherwise. 2024 is the CRP RRBs-XIII cycle and 2025 the CRP RRBs-XIV cycle. A dash means the source prints nothing for that state and year. The last two columns are official: each state’s Scale I posts in 2025 (XIV final) and in 2026.
| State / UT | 2024 prelims | 2025 prelims | Posts 2025 | Posts 2026 | Change |

| West Bengal | 57.75 (OBC 53) | 65.75 (OBC 61.50) | 50 | 74 | +24 |
Two entries deserve a warning. Telangana’s 2024 figure of 20.50 is far below every other state and below Telangana’s own 2025 figure of 49; it is printed as the source has it, but treat it with suspicion. Gujarat (29.25 in 2024, 39.25 in 2025) and Karnataka (38.50, 36) are low in both years; the source gives no reason, and we do not guess one.

The chart makes the point of this guide visible. The states with the largest 2026 changes sit at the extremes of the vertical axis — Gujarat (+337) and Bihar (+202) at the top, Rajasthan (−250), Karnataka (−200) and Kerala (−195) at the bottom — and in these 21 states no clear relationship between last year’s cut-off and this year’s change is visible (we have not tested it statistically; the sample is small). Andhra Pradesh, which gained the most (+400), cannot appear at all because it had no Scale I posts in 2025. A cut-off reflects how many candidates chased how many posts in that year; when a state’s posts double or halve, its previous cut-off is a weak guide.
Reported Main cut-offs by state and category, 2025
Adda247 also prints Scale I Main cut-offs for 2025 by category. The Main is marked out of 200 (official), and the figures are consistent with that scale, but Adda247 does not label the denominator, and IBPS normalises Main scores by the equipercentile method, so treat them as normalised scores out of 200 and compare them only with each other. In several states the OBC, EWS and General figures are identical — Karnataka, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, for example. The source does not explain why and IBPS publishes no explanation, so we do not offer one. Other coaching compilations do not always agree with Adda247 cell for cell; we print one source consistently rather than mixing them.

Andhra Pradesh has no row because it had no 2025 Scale I vacancy. Nagaland’s row shows only an ST figure, consistent with its single 2025 post. In 2026, Nagaland’s 2 posts are both ST again.
State picker: reported cut-offs beside 2026 posts
Choose a state to see the reported 2024 and 2025 prelims cut-offs, the reported 2025 Main cut-offs by category and the official change in Scale I posts. Cut-offs are from a coaching site, not IBPS.
— means the source prints no figure. Main figures are unlabelled by the source; the Main is marked out of 200.
Using past cut-offs sensibly in 2026
Treat any past cut-off as a rough range, not a prediction. Cut-offs depend on how many candidates sit, how hard the paper is and how scores are normalised, as well as on vacancies, so no previous figure is a guaranteed safety margin. As a preparation heuristic only (ours, not IBPS’s): where your state’s posts barely moved — Himachal Pradesh (27 to 30), Punjab (70 to 75), Jammu & Kashmir (36 to 32) — the last two years give a sensible target range; where posts moved sharply, aim above the higher of the two rather than hoping for a fall. And remember that clearing the prelims cut-off only earns a Main seat: your final rank depends on the Main (normalised by IBPS using the equipercentile method) and the interview. The exam pattern guide in this series sets out the marks per test and the negative-marking rule.
The Scale II and Scale III cut-offs work differently, because there is no prelims and the posts are not allotted state by state in the same way. We cover the reported figures for those posts in the Scale II and III guide.
Does IBPS publish the RRB PO cut-off?
Each candidate sees the cut-off for their own state and category with their result in the IBPS login. We found no public consolidated state-wise cut-off document; the state-wise tables online are compiled by coaching sites.
What was the IBPS RRB PO prelims cut-off in 2025?
Reported figures range from 36 out of 80 in Karnataka to 65.75 in West Bengal for the General category.
Which state had the lowest RRB PO cut-off in 2025?
Karnataka, at 36 out of 80 (reported). In 2024 Gujarat was reported lowest among ordinary figures at 29.25.
Is there a 2025 RRB PO cut-off for Andhra Pradesh?
No. Andhra Pradesh had no Scale I vacancy in 2025. It has 400 posts in 2026.
Do prelims marks count in the RRB PO final merit?
No. For Scale I only the Main and the interview count, in the ratio 80:20.
What are the sectional cut-offs in RRB PO prelims?
Reported for 2025: OBC 13.5 in Reasoning and 10.75 in Quantitative Aptitude; EWS 18.75 and 14.50, each out of 40.
Why are OBC, EWS and General Main cut-offs the same in some states?
The reported figures coincide in several states, but neither the source nor IBPS explains why, so treat any explanation you read as a guess.
What is the expected RRB PO cut-off for 2026?
Nobody knows before the exam. The reported 2024 and 2025 figures for your state suggest a rough range to prepare against, not a guaranteed margin; paper difficulty, the number of candidates and normalisation all move cut-offs.
