    Dear

    the miniumum marks to required qualify for the mains exams is 50% for the unreserved/general category.
    the 40% marks for the reserved category.

    cut off marks list is depend on the number of candidate, depend on the number of post and depend on the average marks obtained by the candidates.

    best of luck

    I varies from year to year. It depends on the number of vacancies, difficulty level of the question paper and the average marks secured by the candidates.
    to be on the safer side, you can aim to score above 55% in case of general or 45% in case of OBC and 40% incase of SC/ST

    IN the year 2011 following were the minimum marks for qualifying mains examination:

    *General category-842

    *OBC-822

    *SC-807

    *for st and other category it will be lower than the above marks.

    minimum required marks or cut-off marks change every year.
    Cut-off marks depends on performance of the students every year.
    Better performance will increase the cut-off marks.

    for details of cut-off marks visit

    and

    I'll suggest you not to concentrate on cut-off marks but give your best to set a higher cut-off mark.

    All the best!

    Re: Minimum required marks to qualify for Mains examination of UPSC out of 2000 marks?

    Dear Friend,

    The UPSC Civil Services Examination is of 2300 marks in total.

    In which ,

    * The Preliminary Exam is of 600 marks ,

    * MAINS Exam is Of 1400 marks.

    * Interview of 300 marks.


    Now the minimum marks that you should get to qualify for MAINS Exam is 40% . It would be better for you to try to score better because there is so much competition amongst candidates that the minimum marks vary per year.

    So , In my opinion , the minimum marks that you obtain is 50% marks.

    This is the information i have to the best of my knowledge regarding your query. hope the information will help you to the extent you want.
