Cut off marks for both prelims and mains are decided by UPSC after the result of civil services exam but before declaring the final result the cut off marks are released and it is the marks of last candidate who gets selected based on the number of vacancies for respective categories.

the reason behind the difference between cut off marks in various coachings is that they prepare their own answer keys and they release the cut off on the basis of comparison between previous year's results.

ALWAYS GO FOR THE OFFICIAL CUT OFF THROUGH THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE OF UPSC.

goodluck

Congrats on getting good marks in 12th. So, as you told you gave JEE this year but your rank is not so good for admission in IIT or NIT and you want to become an IAS officer. According to me, you should take admission in graduation in whichever field you want either it is engineering or b.sc from any good university like DU and other many options are available instead of dropping one year. Civil services wants only degree as eligibility. It's not necessary that degree should be from IIT or NIt. So take admission and start preparing for civil services.

Good luck for your future and best wishes

Hello Garima,you can not directly apply for IAS officer just after cpassing class 12 board exams.You have to go through a lot.Firstly,you have to get a degree,be it any degree such as B.Com,B.A honors,B.tech and then you have to prepare for UPSC exams and then if you get selected,they will call you for the interview round and then there's a lot of procedures and at last,if you clear all of them,then finally,you get to become an IAS officer.Keep studying hard.

Hii Gajanan

UPSC corresponds to Union Public Service Commission which is the self-governing body punching above the weight the power to manage the exams on India level to pick out the applicants heading for numerous subdivisions of the government.Civil services, on the whole, are the respected exam that is administered by UPSC that attracts bright students around India.

MPSC is another similar exam held at state level. All states in India conduct civil services exams to decide on admirable applicants to be taken up in various departments of the state.The major difference between the two exams is in the detail that while MPSC exam is for those present in the state of Maharashtra and opt for officers that get position in the state of Maharashtra despite the fact UPSC selects applicants that get works in countless sections of the central government while receiving a position in any region of the nation.

In case you are a law student, an engineer, a doctor or only an art student, you become suitable to play a part in the UPSC exams if you are a graduate and have achieved an age of 21 years.Though, to be entitled to MPSC, you have to demonstrate a residence of the state. Paying attention to syllabus and pattern, both exams are not quite the same.

While all officers who pass UPSC get to class I rank, the rank of candidates passing MPSC depends upon their rank. It could be class I or class II depending on the rank.One advantage of MPSC is that you are competing with the lesser number of candidates and that too from your own state whereas in the case of UPSC you get much broader competition at an all India level.

Hello Anamika,

IAS has a very tough and renowned exam for government services and IAS is a very high and respected post. To clear IAS exams is not a easy task and you have to work very hard.

I will suggest you to pursue BTech in mechanical or electrical branch if you further want to go for IAS as mostly many government services other than IAS ask for a graduate in Mechanical or Electrical branches so this will also open paths for you other government services. 

Also for IAS mechanical and electrical engineering gives a lot of practical exposure with real life problems and also a graduate in mechanical or electrical is given a little bit of preference.

You should start preparing for IAS from beginning only and go to the college just for the sake of maintaining 75% attendance and only study well for the exams . Do most of the things by your own and do not depend on college and rest of the time devote to your IAS preparation. Do not get distracted at all.

Also you can do BTech in branches other than mechanical or electrical if you have a interest in computer programming or civil engineering there is no loss at all but then you have to work more and you will not be able to devote much time for yor IAS exams.

While preparing for IAS also prepare for its interview side by side and keep the knowledge of your core subjects very strong. Also you should be good at English.

First mentally prepare yourself as it needs lots of time and patience too.

Hope this helps.

If any queries feel free to ask .

All the best!!
