UPSC Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, IAS exam, is conducted by UPSC every year in the month of May/June. This exam consists of two Papers: General Studies Paper I and General Studies Paper II (or CSAT Paper). While CSAT Paper is only of qualifying in nature, the marks obtained in General Studies Paper I are used to decide the cut-off.
After appearing in the exam, it is the natural curiosity of the aspirants who have appeared in the IAS exam to know about the expected cut-off of UPSC IAS Prelims 2024 exam to qualify the exam. The cut-off of UPSC IAS Prelims exam varies from year to year depending up on the difficulty level of the exam but still 45-50% marks in Paper I is considered a decent score to expect a positive outcome. UPSC, on the other hand, releases the cut-off only after the declaration of the final results which takes almost a year.
The time between the UPSC IAS Prelims exam and the Mains exam is very crucial as it decides who will make it to the interview stage of the exam. So, if you think you have given your best in the exam, it is better to take a break for 2-3 days and start preparing for the Mains examination without worrying too much for the cut-off.
