RI ARI Amin Prelims Cutoff Marks
ARI (Assistant Revenue Inspector), Amin preliminary exam (part of the Combined Recruitment Examination – CRE) cutoff marks have been released recently, with the prelims result declared around February 16, 2026.
These are normalized marks out of 100 (after applying normalization due to multiple shifts). The cutoffs apply commonly for RI, ARI, Amin, and related posts like ICDS Supervisor/SFS in the CRE-2023(IV) or equivalent latest cycle.
Official/Confirmed Prelims Cutoff Marks (Category & Gender-wise)

(These figures are consistently reported across multiple reliable sources, including candidate discussions and exam analysis channels, based on the official release.)
- Other categories (like Ex-Servicemen, PwD, Sports Persons): Often lower or separate; check the official PDF for exact details if applicable.
- Minimum Qualifying Marks (general guideline, but actual cutoff is higher due to merit/shortlisting):
- UR/SEBC: Around 40-50% raw, but normalized cutoff prevails.
- Reserved categories: Relaxed, but final shortlisting is merit-based above these.
Note: Cutoffs are very high this cycle (80+ for most categories), likely due to normalization, exam difficulty (reported easy to moderate), high competition, and many candidates scoring similarly after adjustment. Some analyses mention safe scores of 90+ for strong selection chances in competitive posts like RI.
