This R.T.I had been filed by Mr.Vinay Krisha and he has sent me a copy for the benefit of CAPF and CDS aspirants.
- Central Police Forces Exam (CPF) cutoffs in 2009, 2010
- Combined Defense Service Exam (CDS) 2011 Cutoffs
Central Police Forces Exam (CPF) cutoffs in 2009, 2010
UPSC has refused to provide cut off marks of CPF 2011 citing the (cliched) excuse that recruitment process is not yet complete. But 2009 and 2010’s marks have been provided.
| Year | Gen | OBC | SC | ST |
| 2009 | 136 | 128 | 105 | 115 |
| 2010 | 126 | 121 | 111 | 116 |
Please note: In the year 2009 & 2010 paper I was for 250 marks & paper II was for 150 marks, Personality test for 200 marks. But From 2011 they have changed to paper I for 250 marks & paper II for 200 marks, Personality test for 150 marks.
Combined Defense Service Exam (CDS) Cutoffs 2011
There is no provision for reservation (categorywise) in CDS examination however, course-wise cut-off marks of written examination are as under
| Name | IMA | AFA | INA | OTA |
| CDSE(I)-2011 | 90 | 111 | 45 | 72 |
| CDSE(II)-2011 | 93 | 126 | 78 | 68 |
UPSC has (again) refused to provide cut off marks of CDS 2012 citing that recruitment process is not yet complete.

sir is there individual section cutoff in CDS paper?
hello sir,
the cutoff marks of cpf 2009 & 2010 given here is addition of both papers or only one ??
The pdf from the below link has DOB and roll no. of all the CPF candidates. Using this information you may find the marks of all candidates from the UPSC website.

kaushlendra.
CPF marks given is the addition of both and 2012 too won’t fluctuate from the given data. CPF is the short cut to Gr A post.
what about cds 2012 -feb exam cut off
Are bhai kitane marks ka exam hota hai ? cut off kuchh kam nahi lag raha ?
these marks are total of both papers…and in 09 and 10 the 2nd paper was of 150 marks..
CPF exam in 2009 & 2010
paper I was for 250 marks & paper II was for 150 marks, Personality test for 200 marks
CPF exam from 2011, paper I for 250 marks & paper II for 200 marks, Personality test for 150 marks
CDS
For IMA/AFA/NA – English, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics 9each paper 100 & total 300 marks)
For OTA – English, General Knowledge (each paper 100 & total 200 marks)
But why is the cut off so low ? I mean I have never seen such a low cut off even for UPSC-CSE !
Agree. If its the combined cut off its very low.
Ravi Sharma,
CPF – Me too dont have idea and it is for 400 marks and we should rely on it as that is what UPSC provided :-P
CDS, According to my knowledge, They will call up more no. of candidates for SSB Interview, In Screening test (First day) among 200 around max of 30-50 candidates will be selected for next 4 days testing. Finally among 200 max of 7 candidates will be recommended, in fact some times no one will be recommended. Due to tough interview process and medical standards they will call more no. of candidates so less cut off i feel. I attended SSB thrice, Screened out all the three times :-P
sc category marks are lower than st?
Wat About the marks in final selection
The capf cutoff 136. or 126 is out of how many marks
The cutoff for cpf is for how many marks? Does it include paper 1 and 2 and interview marks?
IT S MY PERSONAL VIEW ………I THINK THIS YEAR CUTOFF WILL 130(UPPER LIMIT)BOTH PAPER1+PAPER2 …..AND THIS FOR GEN CAT………DIFF TO SAY ABT OBC/SC/ST………IT WILL LESS THAN TAT….SO GUYS PLS CHECK UR ANS…..AND FINALLY PREP FOR PET/MEDICAL……………
PAPER1 PAPER2 TOTAL
90+ 40+ 130+ CAN GET U PET/MEDICAL TEST CALLL :)
I got 152 marks in cpf 2010 and i m general catagory candidate , after that also i did not qualified in written why ? please reply me soon
152 according your evaluation. Nobody knows what is UPSC’s version of answers. So difficult to tell.
Ask UPSC for your marks through RTI
In CDS Clearing prelims is Easy But Screening Test by SSB is the Crucial Point ,Can anyone tell me how to get through CAPF after Clearing Prelims ? Which is the Crucial Part of CAPF Selection (Like SSB Screening test in CDS) ? Im Waiting ….
UPSC conducts interview after Medical fitness test for CPF.. If you clear medical standards which is almost equivalent to medical standards of army. If medical is qualified you will be called for interview by UPSC, Compared to SSB interview UPSC interview is easy according to me :)
Thanks Vinay for your Reply :)
Sc cut off marks are lower than st?
and does the marks include interview?

@Mrunal UPSC in its reply written that ” There is no seperate qualifying standard for paper I & II in CPF ” What does that mean??
Means your total score in two papers is considered for preparing the list of successful candidates. unlike the Bank exams.
I am getting approx 140+ in paper 1 out off 250 and paper 2 was very lengthy so answers were not upto mark..so i fear even 70-75 will be max i can score..So somewhere around 215+ i am expecting..
but i read in 2011 @315 last candidate from gen got ITBP.
Mrunal sir please clarify..what is the expected cut off for CISF General category.
