UPSC Cutoff


UPSC Cut off

Let’s go through some of the important points based on how the Cut off for the UPSC is calculated: 

  1. The marks of Prelims Cut off are based on paper 1 of the prelims or the GS paper only. The marks that you secure in Paper 2 will not be considered when counting your merit ranking. Paper 2 is qualifying in nature and you need to score at least 33 % in it to qualify for the Mains round.
  2. The cut off marks for the UPSC basically are the marks secured that the last candidate that was selected for that round. The cut off marks for both the UPSC rounds of Prelims and Mains are released only after the final IAS results of the exams for the year are declared.
  3. Given below are a few cases that the UPSC has offered clarifications on: 
    • Case 1 – If 2 aspirants score equal aggregate marks in the UPSC exam, then the aspirant who has secured more marks in the compulsory papers + the IAS Interview, is given a higher rank by the UPSC.  
    • Case 2 – If 2 candidates score equal marks in the compulsory papers and the interviews taken together, the candidate who is senior in age will be given a higher rank. 
    • Case 3 – If 2 candidates score equal marks in the compulsory papers and the interviews taken together, and are also of the same age, then the candidate with more marks in the compulsory papers will be given a higher rank. 

Now let us go through the UPSC cut off marks of the various UPSC rounds of the last 2 years:

Which books are the best for UPSC Exam aspirants?

 The ideal approach to start your UPSC preparation, according to myself and other prior IAS test toppers, is to study through the NCERT books for UPSC and then move on to the normal UPSC book list (consisting of the standard books). You should also be careful about the IAS books you chose for your preparation, as the UPSC prelims and mains are significantly distinct from one another, necessitating two separate sets of reading material for each. The UPSC Prelims, as a wholly objective sort of paper, would require its own set of book lists, while the UPSC Mains, as a completely subjective paper, would require its own. Anyway, in this section of the site, I’ve listed the titles of all the key books for the UPSC CSEs, organised by phases and subjects. One thing to keep in mind is that any decent booklist should always be extensive enough to cover the complete exam course.

What is UPSC CSE?

  Every year, the UPSC Civil Services Exam (CSE) is held to recruit candidates for various Indian central government, civil services such as IAS, IPS, IFS (Foreign), IRS, IP & TAFS, IFoS (Forest), ITS, and others. It is regarded as one of the most difficult tests in the country. The  UPSC CSE , also known as the IAS test, is held after the issuance of the UPSC vacancy memo. I tell you, the UPSC exam is nothing short of a marathon. In order to be selected as an IAS officer, you must pass all three rounds. The Prelims are the first round, the Mains are the second, and the personal interviews are the third. I’ll be talking a bit more about these rounds in the section of the IAS exam pattern further down in the blog.
