Important Information about UPSC or IAS Cut Off

The following points can clear doubts on how UPSC (IAS) Cut Off is calculated:

• The UPSC prelims cut-off marks are based on General Studies I only. The General Studies II or the CSAT paper is not counted for merit ranking and is only qualifying in nature. The GS II paper requires candidates to score at least 33% in it to be eligible for the mains.
• The UPSC cut-off marks indicate the marks of the last candidate who was selected based on the number of vacancies in a particular category. The UPSC releases the cut-off marks for both Prelims and Mains only after the final result of the Civil Services Exam for that specific year is declared.

UPSC has cleared a few things with regards to the selection of candidates based on cut off:

• Case 1 – If two candidates score equal aggregate marks in the Civil Services Examination, the Commission resolves the tie by allotting a higher rank to that candidate who secures more marks in compulsory papers, and IAS Interview put together.
• Case 2 – If two candidates score equal also in compulsory papers and UPSC personality tests put together, the candidate who will be senior in age will be allotted a higher rank.
• Case 3 – If two candidates who score equally in both compulsory papers and UPSC CSE Interview; and also are the same in age; then the candidate who would have secured more marks in only compulsory papers will be allotted a higher rank.
