Factors Influencing CAPF Cut Off 2025

There are a number of factors that influence the CAPF cut off 2025. The factors include the difficulty level of the exam, number of candidates appearing, number of vacancies, competition, previous year marks, etc.

  • Difficulty Level of Papers: If the exam paper is difficult in nature then the cut off will tend to be lower.

  • Number of Candidates Appearing: If the number of candidates are more than the cut off will also rise and vice-versa.

  • Number of Vacancies: If more posts are available, the cut off may relax slightly; fewer posts make the cut off stricter.

  • Category-wise Reservation: The cut off for categories depends on how many candidates are participating from that category.

  • Previous Year Trends: The UPSC also considers the past year trends while setting minimum levels; hence, previous year cut offs provide a reference.
