Civil Services Examination, 2017 Minimum Qualifying Marks – Trend Analysis
We have prepared another post for detailed trend analysis of UPSC cut-off marks from 2005-2017.
While the cut-off marks for UPSC CSE Preliminary Exam decreased in 2017, the cut-off marks increased for Mains and Interview (Final Rank List).
Despite the decrease in the number of vacancies, the minimum qualifying marks for UPSC Prelims decreased as the questions were tougher when compared to 2016.
The increase in cut-off marks for UPSC Mains and the UPSC Final Rank list can be attributed to lower vacancies and better preparation of candidates in the online age.
