Qualifying marks vs cutoff
Qualifying marks are the minimum percentage prescribed in the examination rules. Reaching them does not guarantee shortlisting.
Cutoff marks are the result-stage score required for a category or service after the commission considers performance, vacancies and the selection process.
What Determines the JPSC Cutoff?
The commission does not use one permanent cutoff. Each examination produces its own category and stage-specific result.
Vacancies
The number and category distribution of advertised posts affect the last selected score.
Candidate performance
The overall score distribution determines how closely candidates are placed around the selection boundary.
Paper difficulty
A tougher or easier examination can shift raw marks, so different cycles should not be compared mechanically.
Reservation category
JPSC publishes separate vertical and, where applicable, horizontal category cutoffs.
Exam stage
Prelims, Mains shortlisting and final service allocation answer different selection questions.
Service preference
Final service-wise marks vary because vacancies and candidate preferences differ by service.
How to Check JPSC Cut Off Marks
Always verify marks from the commission PDF instead of an unattributed graphic or expected-cutoff article.
