Indicative cutoff (estimate, not official)
Indicative cutoff bands below are estimates from score bands, not official. The official cutoff comes with the result.
| Category | Expected cutoff (indicative) |
|---|---|
| General | 105-115 marks (70-77%) |
| EWS | 100-110 marks (67-73%) |
| OBC | 95-105 marks (63-70%) |
| SC | 85-95 marks (57-63%) |
| ST | 80-90 marks (53-60%) |
| PwD | 75-85 marks (50-57%) |
- The General-vs-OBC gap typically ranges 10-15 marks (7-10 percentage points), while SC/ST cutoffs fall 20-30 marks below General category, reflecting moderate reservation relaxation in UKPSC.
- Year-to-year shifts depend on vacancy count, question paper difficulty, and candidate performance distribution; bumper recruitment years see cutoffs drop by 5-8 marks, while tougher papers compress the range.
- Prelims serves as a screening test with 8-10× candidates qualifying for Mains, so cutoffs fluctuate based on the qualifying ratio prescribed that year rather than absolute merit thresholds.
