How AIBE 21 Passing Marks Change Afte Exam?
The AIBE 21 cutoff marks are not a fixed number but a fixed percentage 45% for General/OBC and 40% for SC/ST/PwD categories. After the exam is conducted the AIBE 21 qualifying marks can change based on how many questions are evaluated. If any questions are withdrawn after the objection process (as happened in AIBE 20, where 5 questions were dropped per set, reducing evaluation from 100 to 95 questions), the AIBE 21 passing marks are recalculated on the revised total. For example, 45% of 95 becomes 42.75 instead of a flat 45. This means the AIBE 21 cutoff marks published provisionally can shift slightly once BCI releases the final answer key.
