UPSC CSE Cutoff 2022 has been released by the Union Public Service Commission. The cutoff has been released category-wise for Prelims, Mains, and Interview round. The IAS Cutoff 2022 for prelims and mains for the general category stood at 88.22 and 748, respectively. The IAS final cutoff 2022 for the general category student is 960 (out of 2025 marks).
IAS cutoff 2023 for prelims, mains, and interview rounds is announced by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) once the UPSC CSE exam process is completed. The IAS cutoff is projected to stay low this year due to the increasing difficulty level of the exam and more vacancies than in previous years. The UPSC 2021 prelims cutoff for the General Category was 87.54, while the mains cutoff was 745. Candidates must know that UPSC considers only mains and interview marks for the final merit list.

The UPSC IAS cutoff is continuously declining as the difficulty level of the question paper is increasing. The UPSC prelims cutoff 2020 was 92.51 for the general category, while in 2021 it was 87.54. This implies that the difficulty level of the UPSC prelims paper is increasing every year.
However, it should be observed that the IAS cutoff is not simply determined by the level of the paper; it is also determined by the number of UPSC vacancies and candidates taking the examination. Candidates may get more information on the IAS cutoff in the article below.
