JPSC 11th–13th Result 2025: 342 Selections, Cut Off & TDPL Impact

JPSC 11th–13th Result: The Jharkhand Combined Civil Services Examination 2023 under Advertisement No. 01/2024 is complete. JPSC declared the main written result on 19 May 2025, conducted interviews from 10 to 23 June 2025, and published the final result on 25 July 2025. The commission later released the main written cut-off, service-wise cut-off and marks-related information on 3 September 2025.

The JPSC 11th–13th Combined Civil Services Examination final result was declared on 25 July 2025 under Advertisement No. 01/2024. The official JPSC final-result PDF contains 342 selected candidates, exactly matching the number of advertised posts. The result is not merely a list of names: it shows each candidate’s rank/serial number, roll number, name, gender, primary category, service allotted, category under which selected and sub-category where applicable. (JPSC)

This final-result PDF has become especially important again in August 2026 because the Jharkhand government has now announced cancellation of examinations conducted through TDPL, including associated results and selections. Fresh reporting and protest statements specifically identify the 11th–13th JPSC examination among the examinations alleged to have been conducted through TDPL. However, as of the latest check, a separate JPSC order expressly cancelling the appointments of these 342 candidates has not yet been located on the Commission’s website. (The New Indian Express)

JPSC 11th–13th Final Result: Basic Facts

JPSC’s final result explicitly identifies the examination as the Combined Civil Services Examination-2023, Written and Interview (Final Result), Advertisement No. 01/2024. The 342-name list runs from serial number 1 through serial number 342. (JPSC)

Earlier, 7,011 candidates had qualified the Preliminary Examination, while 864 candidates cleared the Mains and became eligible for the interview stage. (The Times of India)

That gives a useful funnel:

7,011 Mains candidates

↓

864 interview candidates

↓

342 final selections

So approximately 39.6% of the interview-stage candidates ultimately received a service, while only about 4.9% of the 7,011 candidates who reached Mains were finally selected.

What Exactly Does the Final Result PDF Tell Us?

The PDF contains seven important fields:

1. Serial number
2. Roll number
3. Applicant name
4. Gender
5. Primary category
6. Service allotted
7. Selected-under category / sub-category

This distinction between Primary Category and Selected Under Category is one of the most important parts of the result.

A candidate may belong to ST, BC-II, EBC-I or EWS as a primary category but still appear as:

Selected Under: UNR

That means the candidate was accommodated against the unreserved/open-merit position, rather than consuming a reserved-category vacancy.

Reserved-Category Candidates Selected in Open Merit

This pattern starts right at the top of the merit list.

For example:

• Rank 2 – Abhay Kujur: Primary category ST, selected under UNR, allotted Jharkhand Administrative Service.
• Rank 4 – Gautam Gaurav: BC-II, selected under UNR.
• Rank 6 – Rahul Kumar Vishwakarma: EBC-I, selected under UNR.
• Rank 8 – Sandeep Prakash: EWS, selected under UNR.
• Rank 9 – Swati Keshri: BC-II, selected under UNR.
• Rank 17 – Gulam Raza: EWS, selected under UNR.
• Rank 19 – Ankit Raj: BC-II, selected under UNR. (JPSC)

The pattern continues much further down the list.

For instance:

• Rank 33 – Suryaprakash Kujur, ST, Administrative Service, selected UNR.
• Rank 41 – Arbind Kumar Mahato, EBC-I, State Police Service, selected UNR.
• Rank 46 – Ujjwal Kumar, BC-II, Police Service, selected UNR.
• Rank 58 – Aastha Rani, BC-II, Administrative Service, selected UNR.
• Rank 66 – Jagdeep Kumar Hembrom, ST, Administrative Service, selected UNR. (JPSC)

This is a significant feature of the result because it demonstrates that primary social category and the category against which a candidate is finally adjusted are not necessarily the same.

Where Does Reserved-Category Adjustment Begin?

The result shows an interesting transition.

Up to serial number 67, the successful candidates shown in the result are overwhelmingly adjusted against UNR, even where their primary category is ST, EBC-I, BC-II or EWS.

At serial 68, Nitish Kumar, an EWS candidate allotted State Police Service, is shown as:

Selected Under: EWS. (JPSC)

Thereafter, however, UNR selections continue alongside reserved-category selections.

For example:

• Rank 69 Deepak Kumar Barnwal – BC-II primary category, UNR selection
• Rank 70 Chandra Jyoti Upadhyay – UNR
• Rank 71 Prashant – EBC-I primary, UNR
• later reserved-category adjustments become increasingly common. (JPSC)

So serial number 68 should not be interpreted as a simple overall UR cut-off.

Service preference, category roster and service-wise availability make the allocation much more complex.

Why the Serial Number Is Not the Same as a Simple Category Cut-Off

The list is broadly merit-ordered, but the service allotted depends on more than rank.

It depends on:

• total merit;
• service preference;
• category;
• category-wise vacancies;
• horizontal reservation;
• availability of a particular service at that point.

This is immediately visible from the first two candidates.

Rank 1

Ashish Akshat

• Primary category: UNR
• Service: Jharkhand State Police Service

Rank 2

Abhay Kujur

• Primary category: ST
• Selected under: UNR
• Service: Jharkhand Administrative Service. (JPSC)

Therefore, one cannot conclude that the highest-ranked candidate automatically receives Administrative Service. Candidate preference also matters.

Which Service Dominates the Final Result?

The Jharkhand Administrative Service clearly dominates the final result.

Across the PDF, large blocks of candidates receive:

Jharkhand Administrative Service

Other services appearing repeatedly include:

• Jharkhand State Police Service
• Jharkhand Finance Service
• Jharkhand Education Service Class-II
• Jharkhand Labour Service (General) Cadre
• Jharkhand Co-operative Service
• Jharkhand Excise Service
• Jharkhand Probation Service
• Jharkhand Jail Service
• Jharkhand Home Guard (Gazetted). (JPSC)

The service pattern is also rank-sensitive: Administrative and Police allotments are concentrated much more heavily near the upper portion, while Finance, Labour, Co-operative, Probation and other services become more common farther down.

Top 20 Final Selections

The first 20 candidates provide a useful snapshot.

All 20 are selected under UNR, despite several belonging to reserved primary categories. (JPSC)

That is one of the strongest patterns visible in the result.

Top 67 and Open-Merit Representation

The final-result PDF shows multiple ST, EBC-I, BC-II and EWS candidates within the first 67 positions who are still adjusted against UNR.

Examples include:

• Abhay Kujur – ST
• Suryaprakash Kujur – ST
• Jagdeep Kumar Hembrom – ST
• numerous EBC-I candidates;
• numerous BC-II candidates;
• several EWS candidates. (JPSC)

This means a raw statement such as:

“UR candidates got the first 67 seats”

would be incorrect.

The correct statement is:

The first part of the selection list contains many candidates from reserved primary categories who qualified and were adjusted against UNR/open-merit positions.

That distinction is essential for any serious result analysis.

JPSC Published 155 Unreserved Selections

When JPSC later released category-wise and service-wise cut-offs, reporting based on the Commission’s release stated that 155 of the 342 final selections were under the unreserved category. (The Times of India)

That does not mean 155 selected candidates belonged to the UNR primary social category.

It means 155 selections were charged against unreserved/open positions.

Many of those candidates, as the final-result PDF shows, had primary categories such as:

• ST;
• BC-II;
• EBC-I;
• EWS;
• SC. (JPSC)

This distinction is crucial when discussing representation.

Final Merit Was Out of 1,050 Marks

The final merit calculation consisted of:

Mains

950 marks

Interview

100 marks

Total

1,050 marks. (The Times of India)

The interview therefore represented roughly 9.52% of the final total marks.

This is worth noting because an interview could change service allocation and rank, but the overwhelming share of final merit still came from the written Mains examination.

Mains Cut-Off Before Interview

JPSC later released the Mains cut-off used for interview shortlisting.

The reported figures were:

These were Mains-stage cut-offs, not final-service cut-offs. (The Times of India)

This distinction matters because a candidate clearing 579.25 did not automatically get Administrative Service or even final selection.

Final Administrative Service Cut-Off

JPSC’s later service-wise cut-off release showed that Jharkhand Administrative Service required substantially higher final marks.

Reported category-wise final cut-offs included:

These are based on the combined Mains + Interview score. (The Times of India)

The gap between the Mains interview-shortlisting threshold and final Administrative Service threshold is substantial.

For example:

UNR Mains cut-off: 579.25

versus

UNR Administrative Service final cut-off: 663.75

This shows how competitive final service allocation was.

State Police Service Cut-Off Was Even Higher for UNR

For the Jharkhand State Police Service, JPSC’s later cut-off publication showed:

• UNR – 674.50
• ST – 617.50
• SC – 635.75
• EWS – 645.00. (The Times of India)

The UNR Police Service cut-off was therefore higher than the UNR Administrative Service cut-off in the published service-wise figures.

This should not automatically be interpreted as Police being universally “more preferred.”

The final threshold also depends on:

• number of vacancies;
• candidate preferences;
• category;
• medical/physical suitability where applicable;
• service roster.

Women in the Final Selection

Women are present throughout the final list and not merely in the lower ranks.

Within the first 20 alone, the final result includes:

• Sweta – rank 5;
• Swati Keshri – rank 9;
• Sejal Sehrawat – rank 11;
• Khushi Pandey – rank 13;
• Niharika Rani – rank 14;
• Sweety Suman – rank 16;
• Nidhi Agrawal – rank 18. (JPSC)

Women also appear across reserved-category portions later in the result, including ST and SC selections. (JPSC)

The official result PDF does not itself provide a summary count of male versus female selections, so an exact gender percentage should not be invented without separately tabulating all 342 records.

Horizontal Reservation Is Visible in the Result

The final pages contain explicit sub-category entries such as:

• Blind
• Locomotive/locomotor disability
• Deaf & Dumb
• Autism and Multiple Disability
• PTG. (JPSC)

Examples include:

• Vishnu Munda, ST Administrative Service – Locomotive sub-category;
• Anil Kumar Choudhary, BC-II Administrative Service – Blind;
• Shambhu Lal Prasad, EBC-I Administrative Service – Blind;
• Wasim Akram, EBC-I Administrative Service – Locomotive;
• Atabuddin Ansari, EBC-I Administrative Service – Deaf & Dumb;
• Rohit Kumar, BC-II Administrative Service – Autism and Multiple Disability;
• Babita Singh, ST Administrative Service – PTG. (JPSC)

This shows how vertical reservation and horizontal/special-category adjustments operate simultaneously.

The Recruitment Took an Unusually Long Time

The timeline itself deserves analysis.

Notification

27 January 2024

Prelims

17 March 2024

Mains

22–24 June 2024

Mains result

20 May 2025

Interview

June 2025

Final result

25 July 2025

The biggest delay occurred between the June 2024 Mains examination and May 2025 Mains result.

Candidates waited roughly 11 months, triggering protests and even a hunger strike outside JPSC headquarters. (The Times of India)

So the final result arrived about 18 months after the advertisement.

Why Is the 11th–13th JPSC Result Back in the News in 2026?

Because the recruitment has now become entangled with the TDPL examination controversy.

On 17 August 2026, the Jharkhand government announced that examinations conducted through TDPL would be cancelled along with associated results and selections. (The New Indian Express)

At the same time, investigative reporting has specifically connected the 11th–13th JPSC examination with TDPL-related allegations.

ThePrint reported claims attributed to accused/agency-linked individual Abhay Tiwari alleging corruption in the 11th–13th JPSC process, including alleged rates charged at different selection stages. These remain allegations under investigation, not judicially established facts. (The Print)

This distinction must be maintained.

What Are the Allegations About the 11th–13th JPSC?

According to ThePrint’s reporting on statements attributed to Abhay Tiwari, allegations were made that money was demanded from candidates at different stages of the 11th–13th JPSC Civil Services examination, with much larger alleged amounts at final selection. (The Print)

These allegations are extremely serious.

But three things must be kept separate:

1. Allegation

Someone claims manipulation/corruption occurred.

2. Investigation

CID or another investigating agency examines evidence.

3. Judicial finding

A court determines criminal/legal responsibility.

At present, it would be irresponsible to write:

“342 candidates bought their selections.”

The available evidence does not establish that.

Nor is it appropriate to treat all selected officers as accused.

Did Protesters Specifically Demand Cancellation of 11th–13th JPSC?

Yes.

Fresh protest statements specifically included the:

11th–13th JPSC

among examinations that protesters said were conducted through TDPL and should be cancelled. An ANI-posted statement from a protester listed the 11th–13th JPSC alongside 14th JPSC, backlog exams, CDPO, FSO, FRO and other recruitments. (X (formerly Twitter))

That is important because the government’s 17 August decision subsequently broadened cancellation from particular examinations to TDPL-conducted recruitment processes.

Are the Jobs of the 342 Selected Candidates Now Cancelled?

This is the biggest question, and it requires precise wording.

Not yet on the basis of a JPSC 01/2024-specific order that I can verify.

The government’s latest decision is broad: TDPL-conducted examinations, results and selections are to be cancelled. (The Times of India)

If the 11th–13th JPSC recruitment is formally identified in the implementing order as a TDPL-conducted examination, that could directly affect:

• the final result;
• recommendations;
• selections;
• potentially appointments already made.

But the final legal effect on candidates already appointed into service depends on the exact government/JPSC order and subsequent administrative or judicial proceedings.

Why Appointed Candidates Are Legally Different from Candidates Awaiting Result

The 11th–13th JPSC is different from:

• 14th JPSC;
• Backlog 2023;
• Backlog 2025;
• FRO at physical-test stage.

The 11th–13th recruitment already reached:

Final result

↓

Service allotment

↓

potential appointment/joining processes.

That creates a more complicated legal situation.

Cancelling an examination before appointment is administratively simpler than removing candidates who may already have been:

• recommended;
• appointed;
• allotted cadre/service;
• trained;
• posted.

Therefore, any blanket cancellation affecting the 11th–13th cycle could generate substantial litigation.

Could the Entire Final Result Be Quashed?

Potentially, yes — but only through a legally effective order/process.

Broadly, where systemic examination fraud is established and it becomes impossible to separate tainted from untainted candidates, governments or courts can annul entire selection processes.

But if individual wrongdoing can be isolated, courts have sometimes preferred action against tainted candidates rather than destroying the entire selection.

Which principle applies here will depend on:

• evidence;
• scope of TDPL involvement;
• ability to identify tainted candidates;
• wording of government orders;
• court challenges.

Because this is now a high-stakes legal matter, no one should predict the final outcome with certainty before the operative orders and evidence are public.

Could Honest Selected Candidates Challenge Cancellation?

Almost certainly, affected appointees would have the right to pursue legal remedies if their selection or appointment is cancelled.

Potential arguments could include:

• they personally committed no wrongdoing;
• selection was based on merit;
• appointments created accrued rights/interests;
• entire recruitment cannot be annulled without evidence of systemic contamination;
• principles of natural justice.

The government, conversely, could argue that the integrity of the entire process was compromised if it can establish pervasive manipulation.

Ultimately, this may become a matter for the Jharkhand High Court and potentially the Supreme Court, depending on what action is taken.

Final Result Analysis: What We Can Say with Certainty

From the official JPSC PDF, the following are established:

342 candidates were finally selected.

The list ends at serial number 342. (JPSC)

Service allotment was already completed.

Every candidate in the list has a service shown against their name. (JPSC)

Reserved-category candidates frequently qualified on open merit.

Numerous ST, BC-II, EBC-I and EWS candidates are shown under Selected Under: UNR. (JPSC)

Administrative Service dominates the selection.

The PDF repeatedly lists Jharkhand Administrative Service across all category sections. (JPSC)

Horizontal/special reservation was applied.

The final pages include PTG and disability sub-categories. (JPSC)

The final result itself does not contain candidate marks.

It contains selection and service-allocation information; marks/cut-offs were published separately later.

What the Final Result Does NOT Prove

This is equally important.

The PDF does not prove:

• paper leak;
• manipulation;
• bribery;
• candidate involvement in corruption;
• TDPL’s exact role;
• that any specific selected candidate was tainted.

Those issues require evidence outside the final-result document.

Therefore, the result should be analysed as selection data, while allegations surrounding TDPL must be separately attributed to investigations/news reports.

Current Status Table — 18 August 2026

The first four points are supported directly by JPSC and its later cut-off publication; the TDPL cancellation is based on the government’s fresh 17 August decision. (JPSC)

What Document Should We Watch Next?

For the 11th–13th JPSC, the key document is not another news article.

It is an official document specifically addressing:

Combined Civil Services Examination-2023, Advertisement No. 01/2024

Watch for wording such as:

• final result cancelled;
• recommendations withdrawn;
• selection cancelled;
• appointments cancelled;
• examination annulled;
• inquiry ordered;
• appointments kept in abeyance;
• fresh examination;
• show-cause or verification process.

Until such an order appears, the precise employment consequences remain unresolved.

10. What was the Administrative Service ST cut-off?

602.00. (The Times of India)

11. What was the Police Service UNR cut-off?

674.50. (The Times of India)

12. Were reserved-category candidates selected in UNR?

Yes. The official final-result PDF contains many such examples, including Abhay Kujur (ST) at rank 2, selected under UNR. (JPSC)

13. Does that mean they used reserved seats?

No. A candidate shown as Selected Under UNR is adjusted against the open/unreserved selection, despite the candidate’s primary category.

14. How many selections were under UNR?

JPSC’s later cut-off reporting stated 155 of the 342 selections were under the unreserved category. (The Times of India)

15. Was Administrative Service given only to top ranks?

No. It appears throughout multiple reservation-category blocks because service allocation depends on merit, preference and category-wise vacancies. (JPSC)

16. Why did rank 1 get Police while rank 2 got Administrative Service?

The official result shows exactly that pattern, demonstrating that rank alone does not determine service; candidate service preference and allocation rules matter. (JPSC)

17. Is 11th–13th JPSC now cancelled?

The recruitment is now under serious threat because the government has announced cancellation of TDPL-conducted examinations, results and selections, and the 11th–13th JPSC has been named in the TDPL controversy. A specific JPSC 01/2024 cancellation order remains the key document to verify. (The Times of India)

18. Have the 342 selected officers lost their jobs?

It is too early to state that as an accomplished fact. A formal implementing order and the status of appointments are necessary before reaching that conclusion.

19. Are the allegations against the 11th–13th JPSC proven?

No. Serious allegations have been reported and are under investigation, but allegations should not be presented as final judicial findings. (The Print)

20. Can the selected candidates go to court if appointments are cancelled?

Affected candidates can seek judicial remedies. Whether a challenge succeeds would depend on the evidence, nature of the government order and applicable service/recruitment law.
