idea of how the UPSC IAS Exam Cut off is calculated. So look over these points:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\u00a0The UPSC preliminary cut-off marks are calculated on the basis of General Studies-I only.<\/li>\n<li>The General Studies- II or you can say it as CSAT paper which marks are not included while calculating the cut-off marks.<\/li>\n<li>But it is mandatory for the candidate to score at least 33% in it to be eligible for the mains.<\/li>\n<li>The UPSC cut-off marks indicate the marks of the last candidate who was selected based on the number of vacancies in the particular category.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"selection-of-candidates-based-on-cut-off\"><\/span>Selection of Candidates Based on Cut-Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are three cases which are described the UPSC while making a selection of the candidates. These cases are described below:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The first case is that if two candidates score equal aggregate marks in the examination then the Commission evolves the tie by allotting a higher rank to the candidate who secures more marks in compulsory papers.<\/li>\n<li>The second case is that if two candidates score equal marks in the compulsory papers. Then the UPSC personality test marks are out together. Also in this case the candidate who will be senior in age will be allotted a higher rank.<\/li>\n<li>Now comes the third case in the selection of the candidate. This case if two scores equally in both compulsory papers and UPSC CSE interview, and also are same in age. In this case, the UPSC selects the Candidate who would have secured more marks in the only compulsory papers. And this candidate will. later be allotted with the higher rank in the examination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"preparation-books-for-upsc-ias-exam\"><\/span>Preparation Books for UPSC IAS Exam<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here are few books which will help you in the study process:-<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kopykitab.com\/UPSC-New-Syllabus-Tips-To-Crack-IAS-Preliminary-And-Mains-Exam-With-Rapid-GK-2019-Ebook-3rd-Edition-by-Disha-Experts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see the latest syllabus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kopykitab.com\/7-Years-UPSC-IAS-IPS-Mains-General-Studies-Papers-1-4-Year-Wise-Solved-2013-2019-by-Disha-Experts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general studies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kopykitab.com\/25-Years-UPSC-IAS-IPS-Prelims-Topic-Wise-Solved-Papers-1-2-1995-2019-10th-Edition-by-Disha-Experts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previous year<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kopykitab.com\/English-Grammar-For-UPSC-IAS-IPS-Mains-English-Compulsory-Paper-by-Disha-Experts\">English grammar<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"upsc-ias-exam-cut-off-increasing\"><\/span>UPSC IAS Exam Cut off: Increasing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As it was observed that from past years strata the cut of UPSC IAS Exam Cut off has been increasing.
