  • The actual cut off in the Prelims is disclosed by UPSC only after the declaration of the final civil services result. So the cut off for UPSC prelims 2018 will be known in May/June 2019 after the announcement of the civil services 2018 results.
    Meanwhile you can know predicted cut-off for the 2018 Prelims from the different answers on this page.

  • The cut-off of UPSC Pre 2018 varies from PH/ST/SC/OBC to General and will be given on the basis of expected 780 seats. Here we have 2016 & 2015 cut-off which tell what should we expect from 2018:

    For the General candidate of UPSC Pre 2018:  The minimum cut off in 2016 is 116 while the cut off in 2015 was 107.34
    For OBC candidate of UPSC Pre 2018:  The minimum cut off in 2016 is 110.66 while the cut off in 2015 was 106
    For SC candidate of UPSC Pre 2018:  The minimum cut off in 2016 is 99.34 while the cut off in 2015 was 94
    For ST candidate of UPSC Pre 2018:  The minimum cut off in 2016 is 96 while the cut off in 2015 was 91.34
    For PH candidate of UPSC Pre 2018:  The minimum cut off in 2016 is 75.34 while the cut off in 2015 was 90.66

    Which means General/OBC need More than 100 marks out of 200 to go for UPSC Mains 2018 while for SC/ST it’s a relief, they need less than 100 marks out of 200 marks to qualify for UPSC Mains 2018.
