The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has officially released the cut-off marks for the Central Armed Police Forces (Assistant Commandants) Examination, 2024. Candidates who appeared for the written examination can now download the official cut-off marks PDF from the UPSC website. The cut-off indicates the minimum marks required to qualify for each stage of the recruitment process — the written exam, Physical Standards Test (PST) and Interview/Personality Test.
I am writing about this update because the UPSC CAPF (AC) Examination is one of the most competitive and prestigious recruitment exams in India for those who aspire to serve in elite paramilitary forces like the BSF, CRPF, CISF, ITBP, and SSB. The release of the official cut-off marks provides transparency and allows candidates to evaluate their performance objectively. It also helps future aspirants understand the level of competition and prepare more strategically for upcoming CAPF examinations.
