What was the RPF Constable cut-off for the unreserved category?

In the panel notice of 16 February 2026 for CEN RPF 02/2024, the normalised cut-off of empanelled candidates, scaled to 100, was 77.71435 for UR male and 77.32802 for UR female.

Is the RPF Constable cut-off out of 120 or 100?

The CBT has 120 marks, but RRB published the cut-offs as normalised marks scaled up to 100. They are not raw marks and should not be read as a score out of 120.

Is the RPF Constable cut-off zone-wise or RRB-wise?

No. For CEN RPF 02/2024 RRB published one all-India table by gender and community, with a separate figure for ex-servicemen. Zones are allotted after empanelment.

Did RRB publish the cut-off for PET shortlisting?

The CBT result notice of 19 June 2025 lists 42,143 shortlisted roll numbers but prints no cut-off marks. Candidates could view their own score card by logging in. The only cut-off table we found is the one for empanelled candidates.

What is the minimum pass mark in the RPF Constable CBT?

35% for UR, EWS and OBC (Non-Creamy Layer) and 30% for SC and ST, per the notice. It is only an eligibility floor. The empanelment cut-offs were between about 69 and 78 on the 100 scale for the non-ex-servicemen categories.

What will the next RPF Constable cut-off be?

Nobody can know. It depends on vacancies, the number of candidates and the difficulty of the shifts. We do not publish expected or safe scores. As on 13 November 2026 there was no newer notice than CEN RPF 02/2024.

RPF Constable Cut-Off: Official Category-wise

This page reproduces the one official cut-off table that the Railway Recruitment Boards published for RPF Constable under CEN RPF 02/2024, the newest notified cycle as on 13 November 2026. The table comes from the notice "Panel and Cut-Off marks for the post of Constable (Executive)" dated 16 February 2026. We read the figures from that PDF and checked each column against its heading by position. Nothing here is estimated, and there is no "expected cut-off" on this page.

The official cut-off of empanelled candidates

RRB's own heading for the table is: normalised cut-off marks (scaled up to 100) of empanelled candidates for the post of Constable (Executive) against CEN RPF 02/2024.

Community	Male	Female
UR	77.71435	77.32802
SC	72.15715	70.95595
ST	68.98081	68.98081
OBC	75.62095	74.92728
EWS	72.99237	72.99237

Horizontal category	Cut-off
Ex-Servicemen (ExSM)	47.34332

Three things about this table before you use it:

It is the final-stage cut-off. These are the marks of the last empanelled candidate in each column, after the CBT, the Physical Efficiency Test, the Physical Measurement Test and document verification. It is not the mark at which candidates were called for the physical tests.
It is on a 100 scale. The CBT is out of 120. RRB scaled the normalised marks to 100 for this table.
It is all-India. There is one table for all RRBs, not one per board or zone. The ex-servicemen figure is a single number, not split by gender or community, which matches the notice: the 10% ex-servicemen reservation is horizontal and has no gender-wise split.

Reading the numbers

Everything in this section is our arithmetic on the official table. It is not RRB's commentary.

UR male to UR female: the gap is 77.71435 - 77.32802 = 0.38633 marks. The two were almost level.
ST and EWS: the male and female figures are identical (68.98081 for ST, 72.99237 for EWS). The table does not explain why. One possible reading is that unfilled female vacancies in a category are filled by male candidates of that category, as the notice provides, but RRB does not say this about these two columns and we are not asserting it.
Spread across communities (male): UR 77.71 at the top, then OBC 75.62, EWS 72.99, SC 72.16 and ST 68.98. From UR to ST the gap is about 8.73 marks on the 100 scale.
Converting to the 120 scale: multiplying by 1.2 gives a rough equivalent, for example 77.71435 x 1.2 = about 93.3 for UR male and 68.98081 x 1.2 = about 82.8 for ST. Treat this only as a sense of scale. The published figures are normalised, so they are not anybody's raw count of right minus wrong answers.
Against the pass percentage: the eligibility floor is 35% for UR, EWS and OBC-NCL and 30% for SC and ST. Every non-ex-servicemen cut-off above is more than double the 30% floor. The floor decides who is eligible; merit decides who is selected.
Ex-servicemen: 47.34332 is far below the other columns. Ex-servicemen compete for their own 10% horizontal quota (420 posts in the vacancy table) and are exempted from the PET, though not from the PMT.

The funnel behind the cut-off

Step	Number	Source
Vacancies notified	4,208 (3,577 male, 631 female; 420 of the total for ex-servicemen)	CEN, Annexure B
Applications accepted as valid	45,30,288	Notice of 16 July 2025
Shortlisted for PET/PMT/DV after CBT	42,143	Result notice of 19 June 2025
Empanelled	4,205	Panel notice of 16 February 2026

Our arithmetic from these official counts:

About 1,077 valid applications per vacancy (45,30,288 divided by 4,208). Not every applicant appears in the CBT, and we did not find an official attendance figure, so the ratio among those who actually sat the paper is lower than this.
About 10 shortlisted candidates per vacancy (42,143 divided by 4,208), which matches the notice's rule of calling 10 times the vacancies in each category.
About 1 in 10 of those shortlisted was empanelled (4,205 of 42,143).
4,205 empanelled against 4,208 notified is three short. The panel notice does not say which categories the three belong to.

What "normalised" means here

The CBT ran on 12 days in March 2025 (2 to 7, 9 to 12 and 17 to 18 March, per the panel notice), so candidates sat different question papers. RRB's notice of 4 November 2024 describes the method it uses for all its notices:

For each shift, a percentile score is worked out: the share of candidates in that shift who scored equal to or below you, times 100, to 5 decimal places.
Percentile scores from all shifts are merged for merit.
Normalised marks are then derived by interpolation against a base shift (the shift with the highest mean among shifts with at least 70% of the average present count). These are used to check the minimum pass percentage.

That is why the cut-offs carry five decimals, and why two candidates with the same raw score in different shifts can end up with different normalised marks. It is also why a raw mock score cannot be laid directly against the table.

Ties. Where two or more candidates have the same marks, the older candidate is placed higher; if the date of birth is the same, alphabetical order of names decides. This is in both the CEN and the normalisation notice.

What RRB did not publish

A cut-off for PET/PMT shortlisting. The CBT result notice of 19 June 2025 is a list of 42,143 roll numbers in ascending order, "not in order of merit". It prints no cut-off marks. It says candidates can view their individual result and score card by logging in from 20 June 2025.
Board-wise or zone-wise cut-offs. The table is all-India. Zone allotment came later, on 23 February 2026, on merit, preference and vacancy.
Raw marks, section-wise marks or topper marks. None appear in the documents we read.
A second-round list. The notice allows a second round of PET/PMT if a shortfall remains. We did not find a separate second-round notice on the portal listing.

Minimum pass percentage

Category	Minimum in CBT
UR, EWS, OBC (Non-Creamy Layer)	35%
SC, ST	30%

This is from para 12.1 of the CEN. A candidate below it is not eligible however many vacancies remain. A candidate above it is only eligible, not shortlisted.

How to use this page

Use the table as a description of one cycle. It tells you where the line fell in a recruitment with 4,208 posts and about 45 lakh valid applications. A different vacancy count or a different paper would move it.
Do not turn it into a target raw score. The figures are normalised and scaled. The honest use is directional: selection in this cycle needed a score well above three quarters of the paper for UR candidates.
Compare percentile, not marks, in practice. On Pareeksha everyone in a cohort sits the same fixed paper, so your percentile shows where you stand on identical questions. See how it works.
Remember the second filter. A CBT score at this level still had to be backed by the run, the jumps and the measurements. The standards are on the exam pattern page.
Category matters, and so does the certificate. A reserved-category candidate who cannot produce the certificate in the prescribed format at DV is treated as unreserved, per the CEN. The UR line is the one that then applies.

To try the format, the 10-question mini-mock is free. Full CBT-pattern mocks and previous-year papers are Pro.

Is there a cut-off for 2026?

No. As on 13 November 2026 the RRB portal's list of notices ran to CEN 09/2026 and none of them was for RPF Constable. CEN RPF 02/2024 was notified in April 2024, examined in March 2025 and empanelled in February 2026, so its table above is the most recent official RPF Constable cut-off there is. When a new notice and result appear, this page should be re-checked before its date is changed.

What this page does not have

Cut-offs of RPF Constable recruitments before CEN RPF 02/2024. We read only this cycle's documents.
The PET/PMT shortlisting cut-off, because RRB's result notice does not print one.
Board-wise, zone-wise or RPSF-specific cut-offs. The official table has none.
Expected, predicted or "safe" scores for a future cycle. We do not estimate cut-offs.
Attendance in the CBT and the number who qualified the physical tests. We did not find official counts.
The RPF Sub-Inspector cut-off. That is a different notice, CEN RPF 01/2024.
