The Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) has officially announced the cutoff marks for the 2024 prelims examination, a crucial milestone for candidates aspiring to progress in the competitive recruitment process. This announcement follows the release of the examination results and is essential for determining eligibility for the subsequent mains examination.
Understanding BPSC Cutoff Marks
The cutoff marks serve as a benchmark that varies across different categories of candidates. For instance, the general category has a cutoff of 91 marks, while unreserved female candidates have a cutoff of 81 marks. Candidates must meet or exceed these scores to qualify for the next stage of the selection process. The cutoff marks are influenced by several factors, including:
- Number of Applicants: A higher number of candidates typically lowers the cutoff due to increased competition.
- Vacancies Available: Fewer vacancies can lead to lower cutoff scores.
- Difficulty Level of the Exam: If the exam is particularly challenging, cutoff scores may be adjusted downward.
- Overall Performance: The collective performance of candidates in the exam can also impact the cutoff.
