BSSC CGL Cutoff
⚠ Pending SME verification — Figures are read from the Pariksha360 exam database (the same data the app scores you against). Prelims rows are official category cutoff percentiles; mains rows are Pariksha360 trend estimates, not official figures. An SME has not yet re-attested these against the BSSC result notification.
Cutoffs shift every cycle with vacancy count, applicant pool, and paper difficulty. Clearing the prelims takes two things at once: crossing your category’s minimum qualifying percentage, and then finishing inside the top 5× vacancies for that category. The bar that decides your fate therefore moves with the applicant pool — but it never falls below the qualifying floor.
Our exam database records the CGL-3 (2023) prelims cutoffs as category-wise percentiles rather than marks, which is why the first table below is in percentiles. The second table is Pariksha360’s own estimate of where the mains cutoff landed — model estimates, not published results. Treat them as a target to beat, not a record.
