GS Paper I 100 Q · +2 / -0.67 | 0 |
Cut-off: 92.66
Cut-offs change every year with difficulty and vacancies — treat last year's as a guide, not a promise. Out of 200, based on GS Paper I only. GS Paper II was qualifying at 33%. These are the marks of the last recommended candidate in each category.
This scores GS Paper I, the only Prelims paper that counts for the Mains shortlist and cut-off. Each wrong answer loses one-third of the question's 2 marks (0.67); blank answers score 0. GS Paper II (CSAT) is qualifying only: you need at least 66 out of 200 (33%) there, but those marks are not added.
