IRDAI Grade A Cut Off Marks

Yes, there is a sectional cut off in the IRDAI Assistant Manager Phase 1 exam. You need to clear the cut off of each subject—GA, Quant, English, and Reasoning—along with the overall Phase 1 cut off.

However, Phase 2 does not have any sectional cut off marks.

IRDAI calculates the cut off marks based on the following factors:

Number of Vacancies: The fewer the vacancies, the higher the cut off, and vice versa. Usually, IRDAI invites around 19 times the number of vacancies for the Phase 2 exam and 5 times the number of vacancies for the interview stage.

Difficulty Level of Exam: A more challenging exam might result in a lower cutoff, and vice versa.

Number of Candidates Appearing in the Exam: It will affect the cut off as IRDAI needs to narrow down a large number of candidates according to the available vacancies. Hence a large number of candidates means a higher cutoff.

Yes, you can. IRDAI Assistant Manager Phase 1 is just a qualifying exam. This means scoring at or above the cut off allows you to proceed to Phase 2. Your Phase 1 score doesn’t factor into the final selection. The final selection depends on your performance in Phase 2 and interview.  

There are no cut off marks for the interview round in the IRDAI Assistant Manager exam. However, the final selection is based on your combined score from Phase 2 and interview. So, make sure you also perform well in your interview.
