Importance of Meeting the Minimum Passing Marks for REET 2025

Meeting the minimum passing marks in REET 2025 is crucial for candidates to qualify for the Grade 3 Teacher Recruitment process in Rajasthan. However, achieving these marks alone does not guarantee selection. The REET score is normalized if the exam is conducted in multiple shifts, ensuring fairness across different difficulty levels. After clearing the qualifying marks, candidates are ranked based on their performance in the exam.

Those securing higher marks have a better chance of selection, as final recruitment depends on merit, document verification, and reservation policies. Candidates must aim well above the cutoff to secure a strong position in the REET merit list, as recruitment is highly competitive.
