      • So, they are asking the preferences, if we don’t have the required cutoff for our first preference, then they call us for ours second one, right??

  102. Rupesh August 15, 2016 at 2:31 pm
    Sir
    I scored 33.7 marks after dedecting -ve marks
    Question attempted-89
    Not attempted. -11
    Ans correct. 46
    Wrong ans. 43
    From AHEMDABAD zone
    Under EX-SERVICEMEN केटेगरी
    Kindly tell any hope

  107. Sir, Some paper are difficult and some easy in RRB NTPC pre exam. What will different cut off every different paper. If only one cut off for all papers that mostly candidate will be select who is appear in easy paper mod. This is confusion condition for all candidate of RRB. I am SR. CLERK Working in E.Co.Rly/Bhubaneswar and I am also confuse.
    What will expected cutoff for all paper. I have been looked in Objection tracker 59 marks. If 3 Questions are confusion and wrong. after correcting process of RRB key I can get 62.7 marks. My paper was on 26.0416 Third shift. It is a difficult paper.

    Reply please.

  113. RRB make a cut off from standard deviation formula. Look it
    think that papers are divide in 5 shift that every papers average marks that example :- (1) 50 (2) 60 (3) 55 (4) 80 (5) 75 total average mark is 50 + 60 + 55 + 80 + 75 = 320/5 = 64
    Now 64 is equal of 1) 50 (2) 60 (3) 55 (4) 80 (5) 75.

    If any person exam ed in (3) shift and get 60 mark that he will get 64/55* 60 =70 mark
    and any person exam ed in (4) shift and get 94 marks that he will get 64/80*94=75 mark

    Now every person marks will be changed from standard deviation formula after it looked toppers and show cut off of RRB NTPC exam.

    think that RRB NTPC cut off is 75 that any person who attend shift (3) and get 66 that 64/55*66=66.8 the person is select for mains exam and any person who attend shift (5) and get 82 mark that = 64/75*82=70 that the person in not select for mains exam.

    Now you know about RRB Cut off system. So Good luck for all students who attempts 80 cross this paper is easy. and Very lucky person who is in difficult shift and he not attempt difficult question.

  115. Sir How to calculate Normalized score?
    Plz discuss.
    I have qualified for mains from rrb Allahabad.
    Shift-2, 29March.

    Total attempt Q-88
    Right Answer done- 70
    Wrong -18
    Wrong Q given by rrb-6Q
    Net marks-64.

    But normalized score shows 78.84 marks.

  116. friends, I have been said before that merit will be make difficulty standard. as standard division. who student were in easy mod they became loss. and who student is difficult mod they became gain.

    Full detail read in my post on date 28 sept. 2016.

    I Nand Kishor, OS/Engg. dept/ E.Co.Rly. Bhubaneswar.
    and I was in this exam for go at my zone NWR. I got 88.74 normalization marks.

  120. I have got a normalized score of 69.77 and my first choice is goods guard. What can be my actual score out of 120 and is there any chance of getting a call
