Factors Affecting FSSAI Cutoff
The FSSAI cut off changes every year based on several factors. Some of the major factors that affect the cut off are listed as follows:
- Number of vacancies: The vacancies for the FSSAI post play a vital role in the determination of the cut off marks. The more number of vacancies the lower the cut off and the fewer the vacancies the higher the cut off.
- Number of Applicants: The number of applicants appearing for the FSSAI exam also affects the cut-off. As more applicants result in higher competition and therefore a higher cut off as well. On the other hand, a lower number of applicants results in a lesser cut-off.
- Difficulty of the Paper: The difficulty of the paper will affect the candidate’s performance and therefore it affects the cut-off marks every year.
