Your marks

How marks are counted

The RBI Assistant advertisement (Scheme of Selection) sets out these rules for the online exams:

✓
Negative marking¼ mark deducted for each wrong answer, in Prelims and Mains
✓
Qualify in every testEach test must be cleared separately. Prelims sectional minimums were 12 / 14 / 14 for GEN/EWS (English / Numerical / Reasoning)
✓
Prelims shortlistAbout 10× the vacancies, in descending order of aggregate marks
✓
LPT shortlistAbout 2× the vacancies, high in merit on the Mains aggregate
✓
NormalisationScores from different sessions are equated and normalised by the equipercentile method
✓
Office-wise cut-offsPrelims GEN cut-offs ranged from 90.25 (Mumbai) to 96.75 (Chandigarh) out of 100
Final selection

How the final list is made

Prelims only shortlists for Mains. Candidates high in merit on the Mains aggregate — about twice the vacancies — are called for the LPT in the official or local language of the state of the office they applied to. The LPT is mandatory, with no exemption, and a candidate found not proficient is disqualified. Final selection depends on the online exam merit, qualifying the LPT, medical fitness and verification of certificates. There is no interview.

RBI admits all applicants to the exam and checks eligibility only at the final stage, document verification — so a place on the shortlist is provisional until your certificates are verified. RBI may also increase or decrease the number of vacancies.
