The RBI Assistant Prelims Cut Off 2026 has been released by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on 27 August 2026, along with the RBI Assistant Prelims Score Card 2026. Candidates who appeared for the Preliminary Examination can now check their marks and compare them with the official office-wise and category-wise cutoff marks to understand their qualifying status. RBI had earlier declared the Prelims result on 25 May 2026, while the individual marks and region-wise/category-wise cutoff were to be displayed separately.
RBI Assistant Prelims Cut Off 2026 Out
The RBI Assistant Prelims cutoff is not a single all-India figure because the qualifying marks are released office-wise and category-wise. Candidates therefore need to check the cutoff corresponding to the RBI office and category selected in their application. The scorecard provides the individual performance details, while the cutoff marks show the minimum score required for qualification at the respective office and category.

RBI Assistant Prelims Category-Wise Cut Off 2026
The RBI Assistant cutoff should be read in combination with the RBI office/region because the qualifying marks differ across offices. Unlike examinations where a single national cutoff can be used for all candidates, RBI Assistant uses an office-wise cutoff structure.

Why Does RBI Assistant Cut Off Vary by Office?
The RBI Assistant recruitment is conducted against vacancies for different RBI offices, which is why the cutoff can differ significantly from one office to another. Candidate competition, category-wise vacancies, number of candidates and performance in a particular office all contribute to the variation.
- Number of vacancies
- Number of candidates
- Category-wise competition
- Difficulty level of the examination
- Candidate performance
- Office-wise vacancy distribution
- Normalization, where applicable
