BPSC 53-55 Mains cut off could realize around 700


BPSC has conducted the mains examination successfully although some typological errors were seen in the question papers, till now the applicants have evaluated their performance till so I am starting the discussion board to find out the consensus opinion about the cut off in the mains examination.

The total number of seats is 741

About 30% student was absent it means about 14000 students appeared in mains examination.

Previous years Cut Off's in BPSC Examination

  • In 47th BPSC Examination it was 731
  • I n 48-52nd BPSC Examination it was 742 against the Vacancy of 388
  • In 46th BPSC Exam cutoff was 715

Current year question pattern was bit different to break the trend in GS under which statistics was complex and time consuming for arts student.

BPSC is going to implement some moderation tool to make level playing field after the guidance of Patna HC to arrest some additional advantage to some optional papers.

The central statically tendency reflects that this time there r many reasons of cutoff will land in the bands of 680-720 because seats are more.

Please share your opinion about the examination experience to find more appropriate cut off line for interview.
