5. Expected Cut-off and Marks Guidance
UPSC does not always publish a unified cut-off for final selection. Cut-off expectations depend on exam difficulty, availability of vacancies and reservation rules. General points to consider –
- General category candidates usually face higher marks thresholds due to competition.
- Reserved categories – OBC, SC, ST, EWS – have lower thresholds in accordance with reservation policy.
- SSB performance and medical clearance are decisive in final selection beyond written marks.
RojgarAI will publish a detailed cut-off analysis if UPSC or service authorities provide category-wise marks or additional notifications.
6. SSB Selection Process
SSB interviews evaluate officer-like qualities and are spread over multiple days. Key components –
- Stage 1 screening – Officer intelligence rating and picture perception and description test. Only those who pass this stage go to Stage 2.
- Stage 2 – Psychological tests, group tasks, personal interview, and conference over 4 to 5 days.
- SSB recommends candidates to the services based on overall performance and potential for officer qualities.
Note – SSB panels and service medical boards use detailed standards. Candidates should refer to the official instructions in their call letters and the UPSC PDF for specifics.
7. Next Steps – Document Verification & Medical
- Read all instructions carefully in the UPSC final result PDF and any subsequent service communications.
- Await service-specific call letters for document verification and medical examination if not completed earlier.
