In the competitive landscape of banking exams in India, the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) Specialist Officer (SO) examination holds a special place. The IBPS SO exam is conducted to recruit candidates for various specialized roles in banks, such as IT Officer, Marketing Officer, Law Officer, Agricultural Officer, HR/Personnel Officer, and Rajbhasha Adhikari. One crucial aspect that aspirants eagerly await is the IBPS SO cut-off, as it determines their progression in the selection process.
Understanding IBPS SO Cut Off:
The IBPS SO cut-off is the minimum score that candidates must secure to qualify for the next stage of the recruitment process. It is important to note that the cut-off varies for each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, and PwD) and is determined based on factors like the number of vacancies, difficulty level of the exam, and the overall performance of candidates.

In the IBPS SO exam, there are both sectional and overall cut-offs. Candidates need to secure the minimum qualifying marks in each section (Professional Knowledge, Reasoning, English, General Awareness, and Quantitative Aptitude) and also meet the overall cut-off to move to the subsequent stages of the selection process.
Tips for Aspirants:
The IBPS SO cut-off acts as a gateway for aspirants to enter specialized roles in the banking sector. Understanding the factors influencing the cut-off and adopting a strategic approach to preparation can significantly enhance the chances of success. Aspirants should view the cut-off not just as a hurdle but as a benchmark to showcase their proficiency in the chosen field.
