Yes, SBI PO cutoff is calculated after normalising the marks. The normalisation of marks is done to adjust the difficulty level of the question papers. SBI PO exam is conducted in various slots as a result of which the topics, questions, and difficulty levels vary for each shift. The questions in one slot may be comparatively difficult in another. For fair evaluation, SBI normalises the marks scored by candidates in various slots of the exam. The normalisation is done using the equi-percentile method.
