    All the candidates who had appeared for the exam can check their results, once announced, on UPSC's official website, upsc.gov.in. Earlier reports suggested that this year's prelims exam is the toughest among the last five year's papers, as per experts' evaluation. Despite that, the cut-off is expected to go up. The estimated cut-off for the general category is expected to be 105 marks.

    This year's prelims tested candidate's core concepts unlike previous years

    If the cut-off goes up as expected, it will reverse the trends of the last three years.

    Meanwhile, experts have suggested that all the candidates who expect to score more than 90 marks in the prelims must start preparing for the Mains.

Thereafter, a final merit list of all the candidates will be prepared.

    The final merit list will be prepared on the basis of the marks scored in Mains and interview round. UPSC will also release the marks of all the candidates, even of those who could not make it to the recommended candidates list, for other employment opportunities.
