Factors That Affect UKPSC Prelims Cut Off
Cut off marks are not fixed — they change every year based on the following factors:
- Number of vacancies: Fewer vacancies = higher competition = higher cut off.
- Total candidates appeared: More candidates means the qualifying bar rises.
- Difficulty of the paper: A harder paper tends to lower the cut off.
- Category-wise reservation: Reserved categories have separate lower cut offs.
- Court orders / revisions: As seen in 2025, a HC order can directly change cut off marks.
- Normalization: UKPSC applies a normalization process where scores are adjusted across sets.
