• Category-Wise Cut-Off Rank: RSSB picks the top 75,000 CET scorecard holders in order of CET marks. The CET score of the 75,000th candidate becomes the official CET main cutoff score for that specific recruitment drive.
• Equal Opportunity for 40%+ Scorers: Scoring above 80% in CET ensures your name is included in the 15-times list for every single main recruitment announced throughout the year!
