When Does NABARD Release the Cut Off Marks?
NABARD usually releases cut off marks at specific points throughout the NABARD Assistant Manager selection process. Let’s understand this with cut offs dates from the past 2 years.
| NABARD Grade A Result | |||

| 2025 | |||
| Phase 1 | 20 December 2025 | 14 January 2026 | 31 July 2026 |

| Phase 2 | 19 October 2024 | 29 November 2024 | 11 April 2025 |
| Final | Mid December 2024 | 24 February 2025 | 11 April 2025 |
Key Takeaways
- In the 2025 recruitment cycle, the final result was declared on 5 May 2026, while the cut-offs for all stages were released on 31 July 2026.
- Similarly, for the 2024 cycle, the final result was announced on 24 February 2025, and the cut-offs were released on 11 April 2025.
- This consistent pattern shows that NABARD does not release stage-wise cut-offs immediately after each exam. Instead, it publishes the Phase 1, Phase 2, and final cut-offs together after the recruitment process is completed.
Here you can find the NABARD Grade A result for the past 5 years.

NABARD Grade A Cut-Off Analysis (Phase 1, Phase 2 & Final)
To help you understand the selection trend, we’ve analysed the NABARD Grade A cut-offs from 2019 to 2025. This analysis highlights how the cut-offs have changed over the years and what you can expect for the upcoming exam.
NABARD Grade A Phase 1 Cut Off Analysis
The table below shows the sectional and overall Phase 1 cut-offs for the General (UR) category from 2019 to 2025:
| NABARD Grade A Phase 1 Cut-Off Analysis (General/UR) | |||||||
| Subjects | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |

| English (40) | 6 | 10.75 | 10.25 | 12.50 | 11.25 | 8.50 | 10.75 |
| Computer Knowledge (20) | 2.5 | 4 | 2.75 | 5.50 | 3.25 | 3.25 | 4 |
| Quantitative Aptitude (20) | 1 | 4.50 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 1.25 | 4.25 |
| Decision Making (10)* | 1 | 2 | 1.50 | 1.50 | 1.25 | NA | NA |
| General Awareness (20) | 2.25 | 1.25 | 2.75 | 3.25 | 3 | 1.75 | 2.50 |
| Economic and Social Issues (40) | 4.25 | 3.50 | 3.50 | 2.25 | 4.50 | 2 | 3 |
| Agriculture and Rural Development (40) | 6.25 | 6.25 | 4.25 | 6.75 | 6.50 | 1 | 3.25 |
| Total (200) | 54.50 | 47 | 46 | 41.75 | 53.50 | 118.50 | 129 |
*The Decision Making section was introduced in the NABARD Grade A Phase 1 exam from 2021 onwards. Before that, there were only 7 subjects in Phase 1.
Key Takeaways
- The overall Phase 1 cut-off has generally remained in the 40–55 marks range since 2021, with 54.50 being the cut-off in 2025.
- The 2020 (118.50) and 2019 (129) cut-offs are not directly comparable with later years because the Phase 1 exam pattern was different before 2021.
- English has consistently recorded the highest sectional cut-off, indicating its importance in clearing Phase 1.
- Agriculture & Rural Development (ARD) and Economic & Social Issues (ESI) also have relatively higher sectional cut-offs, making them key scoring areas.
- The Reasoning, Quantitative Aptitude, General Awareness, and Decision Making sectional cut-offs have remained comparatively low over the years.
- The Decision Making section was introduced in 2021, so there are no cut-off figures for 2019 and 2020.
- Since NABARD follows sectional as well as overall cut-offs, candidates must clear every subject in addition to the overall cut-off to qualify for Phase 2.
NABARD Grade A Phase 2 Cut Off Analysis
The table below shows the Phase 2 cut-offs for the General (UR) category from 2019 to 2025:
| NABARD Grade A Phase 2 Cut-Off Analysis (General/UR) | |||||||
| Subjects | 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| General English (100) | 60 | 54.00 | 53.25 | 49.00 | 50.25 | 49.00 | 58.00 |
| ESI and ARD Objective (50) | 21.75 | 22.25 | 22.50 | 19.00 | 18.75 | 49.00 | 45.50 |
| ESI and ARD Descriptive (50) | 29.25 | 32.00 | 31.00 | 23.75 | 21.25 | ||
| Total (200) | 135.25 | 126.75 | 128.50 | 130.50 | 118.42 | 126 | 127.50 |
Key Takeaways
- The overall Phase 2 cut-off has remained fairly stable over the years, generally ranging between 118 and 135 marks.
- In 2025, the overall cut-off increased to 135.25 marks, the highest in the last five recruitment cycles.
- General English has consistently recorded the highest sectional cut-off, highlighting the importance of strong descriptive writing skills.
- The ESI & ARD Objective cut-off has remained relatively stable at around 19–23 marks since 2021.
- The ESI & ARD Descriptive cut-off has generally ranged between 21 and 32 marks, making answer-writing practice essential.
- The 2020 and 2019 Phase 2 cut-offs are not directly comparable with later years because the Phase 2 exam pattern was different, with no separate descriptive ESI & ARD paper.
- Based on the recent trends, you should target 135+ marks in Phase 2 to stay on the safer side.
NABARD Grade A Final Cut Off Analysis
The table below shows the final cut-off (Phase 2 + Interview) for the General (UR) category from 2019 to 2025:
| NABARD Grade A Final Cut-Off Analysis (General/UR) | |||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | 2022 | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |
| Aggregate marks in Phase 2 and Interview (250 marks) | 173.25 | 168.00 | 172.75 | 171.50 | 164.33 | 157.75 | 158.50 |
Key Takeaways
- The final cut-off has remained fairly consistent, ranging between 157 and 173 marks over the last six recruitment cycles.
- In 2025, the final cut-off increased to 173.25 marks, the highest in the available data.
- Since the final merit list is prepared based on Phase 2 and Interview marks (250 marks), strong performance in both stages is essential for final selection.
- The 2021 and 2020 final cut-offs were comparatively lower than recent years, indicating variations in competition, vacancies, and exam difficulty.
- The 2022–2025 final cut-offs have consistently remained above 168 marks, reflecting the increasing level of competition in the NABARD Grade A exam.
- Based on previous trends, a final score of 173+ marks generally provides a comfortable chance of selection in the General (UR) category.
How Is the NABARD Grade A Cut-Off Determined?
The major factors affecting the NABARD Grade A cut-off are:
- Number of Vacancies: More vacancies generally lead to a lower cut-off, while fewer vacancies can increase it.
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: An easier paper usually results in a higher cut-off, whereas a tougher paper leads to a lower cut-off.
- Number of Candidates Appearing: A larger number of serious candidates increases competition and may push the cut-off higher.
- Candidates’ Overall Performance: If most candidates score well, the cut-off is likely to increase. Conversely, if the overall performance is poor, the cut-off may decrease.
