UPSC CSE Cutoff
UPSC CSE Cutoff
Preliminary cutoff
The Preliminary Examination uses a screening cutoff based on General Studies Paper I. General Studies Paper II is qualifying and must meet the prescribed minimum percentage.
Main Examination cutoff
UPSC publishes the applicable qualifying and written-stage requirements for each examination. Candidates must satisfy the qualifying requirements for the language papers and obtain the required aggregate marks for progression to the Personality Test.
Final cutoff
The final cutoff is associated with the final merit list and is distinct from the Preliminary screening cutoff.
Historical cutoff figures should always be identified by examination year and stage. They should not be presented as universal thresholds for future examinations.
