UPSC Civil Services Previous Year Cut-Off Marks

  • The cut-off is the minimum score required at a particular stage or for a particular category under the applicable selection rules. UPSC publishes official cut-off marks after the relevant examination process.
  • Preliminary Examination cut-offs, Main Examination cut-offs and final cut-offs serve different purposes.
  • Prelims cut-off: Used to determine eligibility for the Main Examination.
  • Mains cut-off: Based on the applicable written examination qualifying and shortlisting rules.
  • Final cut-off: Based on the marks considered for the final merit ranking, including the Personality Test.

Factors Affecting UPSC Cut-Off Marks

  • Cut-off marks may vary because of several factors:
  • Number of vacancies
  • Number of candidates appearing
  • Difficulty level of the papers
  • Candidate performance
  • Category-wise reservation rules
  • Applicable qualifying and selection criteria
  • Candidates should use historical cut-offs as a reference, not as a guaranteed prediction of the next examination's cut-off.
  • When publishing cut-off tables, use official UPSC data and clearly identify the examination year, stage and category.
