Kerala PSC Exam Cut-Off

Kerala PSC is one of the most important exams conducted by the Kerala Government. Lakhs of students appear in the examination in the ambition of becoming Civil Servants. Cut-off of the exam is declared with the result by the KPSC itself. The cut-off varies year by year. With every year, an increasing number of applicants is making the competition tougher. However, the cut-off of the previous year gives candidates an overview of their preparation and the number of questions they need to attempt to get in the race. 

Cut-off of the KPSC depends on several factors including –

• number of vacancies
• number of applicants
• the difficulty level of the exam
• attempts made by the candidates etc

The cut-off is declared for each post separately. To know the cut-off for a post, you need to follow these steps-
