So NABARD has finally put an end to speculation with the release of cut off marks for Phase 1 (prelims) as well as Phase 2 (Mains) of NABARD Gr A and B examination held in 2017.
As expected, the sectional cut off for ARD (Agriculture and Rural Development) section in the Phase 1 for Gr A is a mere 1 mark out of 40 marks for unreserved as well as reserved categories!
For Grade B posts, the sectional cut off for ARD (Agriculture and Rural Development) section in the Phase 1 is a mere 1 mark out of 40 marks for reserved categories and a paltry 2.25 marks out of 40 for unreserved category!
Sectional cut off for other Phase 1 sections like Reasoning, English, Quant, Computer, GA and ESI is also very low, both for Gr A as well as Gr B. For no section is the individual cut off more than 6.50 marks!
Overall cut off for Phase 1 (out of 200 marks) for Gr A posts is 109.25 for the unreserved category for the generalist posts.
For specialist posts (Gr A), the cut off is way below this number and depending on the discipline, it is between 46.75 marks to 89 marks!
Overall cut off for Phase 1 (out of 200 marks) for Gr B posts is 111.50 for the unreserved category for the generalist posts.
For specialist post of Agriculture (Gr B), it is 75 marks out of 200 marks.
Lowest overall cut for Phase 2 is 96.25 marks out of 200 marks for the specialist post of fisheries (Grade A).
Agriculture section was quite unexpected and a complete shocker for the aspirants in Phase 1 as well as Phase 2. However, as these exams are competitive and relative performance has a vital role to play, the drastic dip in sectional cut off of Agriculture section speaks volumes of smart decision making on the exam day. If the exam is tough, always keep in mind that it is tough for everyone and hence tread carefully, aim for clearing the sectional cut off and avoid negative marking.
195.75 is again a decent cut off for Phase 2 of Gr B, here Paper III i.e. Dev economy, stats and management is the key. This paper was quite easy and had one gone through the concepts in broad fashion, one could have managed to score more than 70 marks in this paper leaving less to fate and chance!
We shall soon be coming out with an in depth analysis video of the marks, cut offs and the strategy one should follow.
