The minimum marks required in the prelims paper can vary based on the exam, category, and cut-off trends for that particular year. Each competitive exam has its own criteria, and the cut-off is determined by factors such as the number of applicants, difficulty level, and available seats. Without specific details about the exam, it’s difficult to provide an exact figure.
Dear aspirant !!
Hope you are doing well ! I am assuming you are asking this question for UPSC exam if not then you can specifically mention the competitive exam name for which you are asking this question. For upsc ,In the CSAT paper candidates should score above 66 marks but in GS Paper 1 they must clear cut off of the particular year which varies every year. For example, the UPSC prelims cut off is 75.41 marks
