The cutoff for the Finance & Management (F&M) paper in the RBI Grade B (DEPR/General) Phase 2 exam varies slightly each year depending on factors such as the paper’s difficulty level, number of candidates, and overall performance. In general, the F&M paper carries 100 marks and consists of both objective and descriptive components. Candidates are typically required to score a minimum sectional cutoff (decided by RBI) in this paper to qualify for the interview stage. Based on previous years’ trends, the sectional cutoff for F&M usually ranges between 50 to 60 marks, but this can fluctuate. It’s important to note that clearing only the sectional cutoff isn’t sufficient—candidates must also meet the overall Phase 2 cutoff, which includes marks from Economic & Social Issues (ESI), F&M, and English (Descriptive). Therefore, aspirants should aim for high accuracy in objective questions and well-structured answers in descriptive sections to stay competitive.
