FAQs
The NABARD Grade A final cut-off is an aggregate of the Mains (Phase II) exam and the personal interview. Thresholds are released category-wise and discipline-wise to maintain transparency. Candidates meeting or exceeding these scores qualify for the final merit list.
NABARD determines cut-offs based on several variables, including exam complexity, the number of available vacancies, and aggregate candidate performance. These thresholds are established separately for each category (UR, SC, ST, OBC, EWS) to ensure fair normalization across disciplines.
Official NABARD Grade A cut-offs are published on the official website (nabard.org) following the announcement of results and scorecards. This article serves as a reliable repository for current and previous year cut-off data.
