  • For candidates qualifying through the Computer-Based Test (100 Questions, 300 Maximum Marks, +3/-1 scheme), the estimated raw cutoff marks required to receive an interview call typically conform to the following ranges:

Key Factors Determining BARC Cutoff Variations

  • Cutoff variations from year to year are dictated by four core variables:
  • DAE Induction Targets: The total intake of Scientific Officers allocated for each nuclear reactor, research campus, or fuel facility.
  • GATE Paper Difficulty Index: Higher raw mark distribution across national GATE papers automatically shifts the normalized score thresholds upward.
  • Online CBT Question Complexity: The BARC Online Test is renowned for extensive calculation-intensive questions; an increase in computational length depresses the CBT cutoff.
  • Ratio of Shortlisting: BARC typically calls approximately 8 to 12 candidates per vacant post for the personal technical interview.
