3. General Awareness

Like previous years, the General Awareness section continued to be difficult to crack for aspirants. Out of 40 questions from this section, a candidate who attempted 23-25 questions spending close to 15 minutes on them, should be able to get a decent score in this section, considering the difficulty level. The fact that around 29 questions were from static GK and the remaining 11 from current affairs, made the going difficult for the aspirants. Around 20 questions seem to be difficult to attempt for the aspirants. The type of questions and their number is depicted in the following diagram.

TISSNET 2022 Expected Cutoff

The TISSNET governing body decides the cutoff once the results are declared, to decide who makes it to the next round of the selection process. Candidates are called for Group Discussion and Personal Interview based on the TISSNET Cutoffs. The expected cutoff of TISSNET 2022 is expected to be around 72+ for general category, going down to 68 marks for the reserved categories. This means that aspirants who score these marks stand a good chance of getting shortlisted for the subsequent selection rounds.

 

The TISSNET cutoff depends on a lot of factors, such as, difficulty level of the exam, number of applicants, number of seats at an institute, the course and location, to name a few.
