The cut-Off for the post of Assistant Director of National Savings (Kerala National Savings)

The cut-off marks are very important to be considered for the Assistant Director of National Savings. As it is a highly prestigious position, the exam is held to test the ability of a person to assist the government in making strategies for small savings at every step, of course.

A cut-off score is a score that is decided based on three factors:

• Level of Examination
• Number of the candidates appearing
• Number of positions/seats
  
  
  

Level of Examination
If the exam level falls on the difficult side, the cut-off of the exam would be on the lower side. Difficulty in the question paper leads to a decrease in lowering the minimum marks of qualifying.

Number of Candidates
The number of candidates appearing for the examination differs every year. It is an important criterion for setting the cut-off of the exam.

Number of positions
The number of positions for which the exam was taken is also kept in mind by the authorities to decide the minimum marks for qualifying 

After qualifying for the exam, there are other further steps ahead for the other stages of the exam. Securing more marks above the cut-off is necessary to rank well among the other aspirants. Failing to secure marks below the cut-off leads to the rejection of the candidate.

A cut-off score plays an important role in deciding the rank. As the exam is for the higher rank, fewer positions are. So, the cut-off is decided based on the position. The score obtained in the exam is not told individually to each candidate.
