UPSC CSE Prelims 2025: Key Details
The UPSC Civil Services Prelims exam was held on May 25, 2025, in two shifts—9:30 am to 11:30 am and 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm. The exam was conducted smoothly across various centers in India. The result will decide which candidates will move forward to the Mains examination, scheduled to be held on August 22, 2025.
Passing Criteria and Cut-Off
To qualify for the UPSC CSE Mains, candidates must meet the following criteria:
-
In General Studies Paper II (CSAT), a minimum of 33% marks is mandatory to pass.
-
Selection for the Mains is based solely on performance in General Studies Paper I, subject to qualifying Paper II.
The cut-off marks for GS Paper I will vary depending on category and competition, and they will be published alongside the result.
What’s Next After the Prelims?
Candidates who successfully clear the Prelims will be eligible to appear for the UPSC CSE Mains, a descriptive written exam that is more detailed and covers a wide range of subjects. This will be followed by a personality test (interview) for those who clear the Mains.
It is recommended that candidates begin preparing for the Mains examination immediately after the release of the Prelims result, given the limited time window before August.
