The JPSC 11th 13th Cut Off Marks for the Jharkhand Combined Civil Services Examination-2023, Advertisement No. 01/2024, were released separately for the Preliminary Examination, Mains written examination and final service allocation. The official JPSC records show that the competition changed significantly across these three stages, so candidates should not mix the Prelims cut-off, Mains interview cut-off and final service-wise cut-off. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
The most important final figures are the category-wise final cut-offs:
UNR 652.00 | ST 595.50 | SC 623.75 | BC-I 653.25 | BC-II 645.00 | EWS 634.00.
JPSC 11th–13th Cut Off Marks at a Glance
| Stage | What the Cut Off Meant |
|---|---|
| Prelims Cut Off | Qualification for Mains |
| Mains Cut Off | Qualification for Interview |
| Final Category Cut Off | Lowest final score selected in that vertical category |
| Service-Wise Cut Off | Lowest final score allotted to a particular service/category |
| Horizontal Cut Off | Separate threshold for PTG/PwD etc. |
JPSC published the Mains and final service-wise cut-offs on 3 September 2025, after the final result had already been declared on 25 July 2025. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
JPSC 11th–13th Prelims Cut Off
The Preliminary Examination was held on 17 March 2024. JPSC released the result on 22 April 2024 along with category-wise cut-off marks. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
Official Prelims Cut Off
| Category | Cut Off Marks |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 246 |
| BC-I | 246 |
| BC-II | 246 |
| SC | 236 |
| ST | 224 |
| EWS | 246 |
| Primitive Tribe | 150 |
| Sports | 148 |
| PwD – Blind | 194 |
| PwD – Deaf & Dumb | 194 |
| PwD – Locomotive | 230 |
| PwD – Autism & Multiple Disability | 150 |
These figures are directly listed in JPSC’s official Preliminary Examination result PDF. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
What Was Unusual About the Prelims Cut Off?
One striking feature was that four major categories had exactly the same 246-mark threshold:
- Unreserved
- BC-I
- BC-II
- EWS
The SC cut-off was 236, while ST was substantially lower at 224. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
This means the difference between UNR and ST at Prelims was:
246 − 224 = 22 marks
while the difference between UNR and SC was only:
10 marks.
JPSC Prelims Cut Off Should Not Be Compared Directly With Final Cut Off
The Prelims examination is only a screening stage.
Therefore:
246 in Prelims
cannot be compared directly with
652 in final merit
because they come from entirely different examination stages and different maximum marks.
The correct progression is:
Prelims
→ Mains
→ Interview
→ Final service allocation.
JPSC 11th–13th Mains Cut Off
The Mains cut-off published by JPSC represents the marks required to qualify the written examination and reach the interview stage.
The official PDF dated 3 September 2025 gives the following figures.
| Category | Mains Cut Off |
|---|---|
| Unreserved | 579.25 |
| ST | 514.50 |
| SC | 539.00 |
| BC-I | 574.75 |
| BC-II | 566.50 |
| EWS | 546.00 |
| Primitive Tribe | 505.00 |
| Sports | 485.75 |
| PwD – Blind | 516.75 |
| PwD – Locomotive | 516.50 |
| PwD – Deaf & Dumb | 504.00 |
| Autism & Multiple Disability | 426.25 |
These are the official Mains written examination thresholds, not the final selection marks. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
Difference Between Mains and Final Cut Off
The comparison is revealing:
| Category | Mains Cut Off | Final Cut Off | Increase |
|---|---|---|---|
| UNR | 579.25 | 652.00 | 72.75 |
| ST | 514.50 | 595.50 | 81.00 |
| SC | 539.00 | 623.75 | 84.75 |
| BC-I | 574.75 | 653.25 | 78.50 |
| BC-II | 566.50 | 645.00 | 78.50 |
| EWS | 546.00 | 634.00 | 88.00 |
The increase does not represent interview marks alone. It reflects the fact that the lowest candidate merely qualifying for interview was not necessarily the lowest candidate ultimately selected.
Final selection was considerably more competitive.
JPSC 11th–13th Final Category-Wise Cut Off
The official service-wise final cut-off document contains a summary row titled “Category Wise Final Cutoff Marks.”
The values are:
| Category | Final Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 652.00 |
| ST | 595.50 |
| SC | 623.75 |
| BC-I / EBC-I | 653.25 |
| BC-II | 645.00 |
| EWS | 634.00 |
This is the most useful table for candidates searching simply for “11th 13th JPSC final cut off.”
BC-I Final Cut Off Was Higher Than UNR
One of the most interesting features is:
BC-I = 653.25
while
UNR = 652.00.
So the BC-I final cut-off was 1.25 marks higher than the overall UNR final category cut-off.
That is not inherently contradictory.
A reserved-category final cut-off can exceed an unreserved cut-off depending on:
- service preferences;
- category-wise vacancies;
- number of candidates;
- merit distribution;
- roster operation.
It does not mean that BC-I candidates were prevented from competing in open merit.
JPSC Administrative Service Cut Off
The Jharkhand Administrative Service was one of the most sought-after allocations.
Official service-wise cut-offs were:
| Category | Administrative Service Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 663.75 |
| ST | 602.00 |
| SC | 631.50 |
| BC-I | 656.25 |
| BC-II | 649.00 |
| EWS | 638.75 |
This means the final overall UNR cut-off was 652.00, but an unreserved candidate needed at least 663.75 to obtain Jharkhand Administrative Service at the relevant allocation point.
That difference is:
11.75 marks.
JPSC State Police Service Cut Off
For Jharkhand State Police Service, the official table shows:
| Category | Police Service Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 674.50 |
| ST | 617.50 |
| SC | 635.75 |
| EWS | 645.00 |
No BC-I or BC-II figure is shown in the official table for this service. A blank cell should not be converted into an invented cut-off.
The most striking figure here is the UNR cut-off:
674.50
which was actually higher than the UNR Administrative Service cut-off of 663.75.
Why Was Police Cut Off Higher Than Administrative Service?
This does not necessarily mean that Police Service was “more prestigious” or universally more preferred.
Service-wise cut-offs depend on:
- vacancy count;
- candidate preferences;
- service eligibility;
- category roster;
- sequence of allocation.
For example, the final result itself showed Rank 1 Ashish Akshat receiving Jharkhand State Police Service, while Rank 2 Abhay Kujur received Administrative Service. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
This strongly suggests that service preference matters, not only rank.
JPSC Finance Service Cut Off
The official Jharkhand Finance Service figures were:
| Category | Finance Service Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 657.00 |
| ST | 597.00 |
| SC | 625.75 |
| BC-I | 656.25 |
| BC-II | 645.00 |
| EWS | 636.50 |
Finance Service therefore had a very narrow gap between:
UNR: 657.00
and
BC-I: 656.25.
JPSC Jail Service Cut Off
For Jharkhand Jail Service, JPSC lists:
| Category | Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 658.50 |
| SC | 624.25 |
The other category cells are blank in the official document.
Again, a blank does not mean zero and should not be interpreted as a missing candidate without further vacancy data.
JPSC Education Service Class-II Cut Off
The official cut-offs for Jharkhand Education Service Class-II were:
| Category | Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 660.25 |
| ST | 617.00 |
| BC-I | 655.50 |
| BC-II | 648.25 |
No SC or EWS cut-off is displayed in the official service-wise table.
JPSC Home Guard Gazetted Cut Off
For Jharkhand Home Guard (Gazetted), the table contains only:
BC-I – 654.50
Other category cells are blank.
This is a good example of why candidates should not expect every service to have a cut-off for every vertical category.
JPSC Co-operative Service Cut Off
For Jharkhand Co-operative Service:
| Category | Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 653.00 |
| ST | 596.00 |
Other categories are not assigned separate values in the official table.
JPSC Labour Service Cut Off
The Jharkhand Labour Service (General) Cadre has one of the most complete category-wise rows:
| Category | Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 653.75 |
| ST | 596.00 |
| SC | 624.25 |
| BC-I | 653.25 |
| BC-II | 645.00 |
| EWS | 634.00 |
These figures are directly visible in JPSC’s official service-wise cut-off PDF.
JPSC Probation Service Cut Off
For Jharkhand Probation Service:
| Category | Cut Off |
|---|---|
| UNR | 652.00 |
| ST | 595.50 |
| SC | 623.75 |
The cut-offs here exactly match the eventual overall category-wise minimum for UNR, ST and SC.
That tells us that for those categories, Probation Service produced the lowest final selected score among the services represented.
JPSC Excise Service Cut Off
For Jharkhand Excise Service, JPSC lists:
UNR – 653.00
No separate ST, SC, BC-I, BC-II or EWS figure appears in the official service-wise row.
Complete JPSC 11th–13th Service-Wise Cut Off
| Service | UNR | ST | SC | BC-I | BC-II | EWS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Administrative Service | 663.75 | 602.00 | 631.50 | 656.25 | 649.00 | 638.75 |
| State Police Service | 674.50 | 617.50 | 635.75 | — | — | 645.00 |
| Finance Service | 657.00 | 597.00 | 625.75 | 656.25 | 645.00 | 636.50 |
| Jail Service | 658.50 | — | 624.25 | — | — | — |
| Education Service Class-II | 660.25 | 617.00 | — | 655.50 | 648.25 | — |
| Home Guard (Gazetted) | — | — | — | 654.50 | — | — |
| Co-operative Service | 653.00 | 596.00 | — | — | — | — |
| Labour Service (General) | 653.75 | 596.00 | 624.25 | 653.25 | 645.00 | 634.00 |
| Probation Service | 652.00 | 595.50 | 623.75 | — | — | — |
| Excise Service | 653.00 | — | — | — | — | — |
| Overall Category Final Cut Off | 652.00 | 595.50 | 623.75 | 653.25 | 645.00 | 634.00 |
The dashes above mean JPSC did not display a separate cut-off in that cell. They do not mean zero.
Horizontal Reservation Final Cut Off
JPSC also published horizontal-category final thresholds.
The official table gives:
| Horizontal Category | Final Cut Off |
|---|---|
| Primitive Tribe | 580.50 |
| Blind | 556.75 |
| Deaf & Dumb | 544.00 |
| Locomotive | 561.50 |
| Multiple Disability & Autism | 463.25 |
The same document also shows the number of horizontal-category selections in the summary row:
- Primitive Tribe – 1
- Blind – 3
- Deaf & Dumb – 1
- Locomotive – 3
- Multiple & Autism – 1.
JPSC 11th–13th Cut Off: Stage-Wise Comparison
| Category | Prelims | Mains | Final |
|---|---|---|---|
| UNR | 246 | 579.25 | 652.00 |
| ST | 224 | 514.50 | 595.50 |
| SC | 236 | 539.00 | 623.75 |
| BC-I | 246 | 574.75 | 653.25 |
| BC-II | 246 | 566.50 | 645.00 |
| EWS | 246 | 546.00 | 634.00 |
This is probably the most useful single table for aspirants analysing the 11th–13th JPSC cycle. The Prelims values come from the April 2024 JPSC result, while the Mains and final values were officially published in September 2025. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
Which Category Had the Highest Final Cut Off?
Among the main vertical categories:
- BC-I – 653.25
- UNR – 652.00
- BC-II – 645.00
- EWS – 634.00
- SC – 623.75
- ST – 595.50
The highest overall category-wise final cut-off was therefore BC-I at 653.25, not UNR.
Which Service Had the Highest UNR Cut Off?
Among services for which an UNR cut-off was published:
| Service | UNR Cut Off |
|---|---|
| State Police Service | 674.50 |
| Administrative Service | 663.75 |
| Education Service Class-II | 660.25 |
| Jail Service | 658.50 |
| Finance Service | 657.00 |
| Labour Service | 653.75 |
| Co-operative Service | 653.00 |
| Excise Service | 653.00 |
| Probation Service | 652.00 |
So State Police Service had the highest published UNR cut-off: 674.50.
Why Final Category Cut Off Is Lower Than Some Service Cut Offs
Suppose an UNR candidate wanted Administrative Service.
The threshold was:
663.75
But the overall final UNR threshold was:
652.00.
How can both be correct?
Because the overall category cut-off represents the lowest score among all finally selected candidates in that category, regardless of service.
A candidate scoring:
653
might fail to get Administrative Service but could still be selected into another service depending on allocation and preference.
Therefore:
Final category cut-off ≠ Administrative Service cut-off.
Why JPSC Final Cut Off Has Decimal Marks
The JPSC Mains and final cut-offs contain quarter marks such as:
- 579.25
- 574.75
- 663.75
- 635.75
This reflects the actual evaluation and aggregate marks produced through the examination process.
Candidates should therefore use the exact official values and not round them to:
“579”
or
“664”.
A difference of 0.25 marks can matter at the final boundary.
JPSC Mains Cut Off Analysis
The gap between UNR and the other main categories at the Mains stage was:
| Category | Gap from UNR Mains Cut Off |
|---|---|
| BC-I | 4.50 lower |
| BC-II | 12.75 lower |
| EWS | 33.25 lower |
| SC | 40.25 lower |
| ST | 64.75 lower |
The remarkably small 4.50-mark gap between UNR and BC-I shows the intensity of competition within the BC-I category.
Final Cut Off Analysis
At final selection, the pattern changed:
- BC-I actually moved above UNR.
- BC-II remained only 7 marks below UNR.
- EWS was 18 marks below UNR.
- SC was 28.25 marks below UNR.
- ST was 56.50 marks below UNR.
This again demonstrates why a previous year’s category relationship should not be mechanically projected onto another JPSC recruitment.
Is 652 the Administrative Service Cut Off?
No.
This is one of the most common misunderstandings.
652.00
= overall UNR final selection cut-off
663.75
= UNR Jharkhand Administrative Service cut-off
674.50
= UNR Jharkhand State Police Service cut-off.
So a candidate with exactly 652 could be selected under UNR in the final list but would not meet the published UNR cut-off for Administrative Service.
Is 579.25 the Final JPSC Cut Off?
No.
579.25 is the UNR Mains written cut-off for interview qualification.
The actual final category-wise UNR threshold was:
652.00
and Administrative Service UNR was:
663.75.
JPSC 11th–13th Cut Off and Final Result
The final result contained 342 selected candidates and was released on 25 July 2025. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
The final cut-off was released later, on 3 September 2025. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
That sequence was:
Final Result – 25 July 2025
↓
Individual Marks / Cut-Off – 3 September 2025
This explains why early reporting immediately after the final result could not provide the official service-wise thresholds.
Did JPSC Publish Individual Marks?
Yes.
The official recruitment page subsequently added:
“Click here to download your Marks”
alongside the Mains and service-wise final cut-off documents on 3 September 2025. (Jharkhand Public Service Commission)
This means candidates could compare:
- their own Mains score;
- interview/final score;
- category cut-off;
- service-wise cut-off.
