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.

@Mrunal Sir,
Could you please write article on “Direct Cash Transfer” with it’s merits and demerits…
hi friends,
cpf marks given above is only for paper 1 to qualify for paper 2
in cpf 2011 written marks query on official website
i scored paper 1 – 135/250
and paper 2 – 49/200
total 184/450
written was not qualified
i think min 50% mks required to qualify in paper 1
dear shailesh surve u r not qualified because your marks is very less in paper 2 but u r qualified to paper 2 for evaluation of paper 2 .
yes prakash,
you r right
paper 2 very crucial in cpf exam
tc
friend I am agree with u that there is individual cut off for each paper but UPSC in its reply mentioned this that the thing which counts is total marks no matter how low u score in paper 2. I also have doubt on this
Pls see the copy of reply of RTI by UPSC.
CPF marks 2011 have come up…and topper …I mean rank 1 has got 352 marks/600marks ..and its really tough to score near it..as I consider UPSC to be the best talent hunt ..to serve the people of this country..
Its difficult to expect much from.paper 2..it needs practice to write in short tym and quality of writing..
i could not complete the precis writing bt fr this exam paper 2 will be crucial to give u an edge over others as paper 1 will saturate around max 140-150
although i didn’t attend the pet this year, i checked my marks out of curiousity and i thought i had performed well in paper-2. what i saw was a major setback for future self assessment. pathetic evaluation.
can any one explain mopag pricing and import parity pricing mechanisms.i encountered these words in todays papers
Mean of Platts Arab Gulf:(MOPAG)
“The mean of the high and low components of a Platts assessment for oil cargoes loading from the Persian Gulf (Arab Gulf). Often used as a component in floating price deals.”
Platts is a provider of energy and metals information and a source of benchmark price assessments in the physical energy markets.

Finally Revealed!!!!!!!!!!
Cutoff For CAPF(AC)-2011
Gen:Around 270
OBC: Around 250-256
SC: Around 234-238,
ST : 224
Good To hear this. I think Cutoff would only vary slightly by 5-10 marks this year
you finally revealed it incorrectly. for general categ. it’s 257. so it’s a 13 marks difference you’re talking about.

thanks
thanks rajnikant and mrunal sir
sir I scored 251 marks in CAPF 2011 and still my name is not there in merit list whereas my friend got 256 and his rank is 446. He is also OBC.
hi jitu
i saw manish kumar score,i think you should ask your marksheet frm upsc
and show the proof required for obc,non-creamy cert if required
as ur name should come because last recomm is 567 rank
in between many obc candidate can be there
as exam process is still on
you should verify caste frm upsc else they are considering you in general category.
best wishes….
also check status of candidature/recommendation
if it is provisional or not
go with process accordingly

Yadav is an OBC category and cutoff varies from year to year.
I am VIPIN YADAV I cleared the exam in 2010 & 2011.
2010 scores : General Ability and Intelligence – 79 & English – 43 (In 2010 English paper was of 150 marks) = Total – 122 (Last selection written + interview = 239)
2011 scores : General Ability and Intelligence – 80 & English – 62
TOTAL – 142 (Last selection written + interview = 245)
In 2010 I have my PET during my final year exams.
In 2011 Failed in PET in long jump event.
And sometimes total number of seats also varies during selection, as I had seen in 2010. In 2010 total vacancies published are 700+ but the selections are 800+ .
i have increased the word limit in essay(CPF EXANM). I Choosed the topic ‘migration from neighbouring countries and its socio economic impact’.I have written in 1700 words, almost 20 pages,while it was asked to write in 800 words.
DEAR SAURABH. IF U CROSS THE WORD LIMIT APPROX 50 THEN THERE WILL BE NO HARM ,BUT U HAD CROSSED AOUT 2 TIMES OF IT , THERE WILL BE GREAT DIFFUCULITY FOR U

sir..i hav got 111 marks in paper-1 and 57 marks in paper 2 in upsc cpf ac exam 2011
total marks 168..still i m not qualified in written exam…wats the reason as cutoff marks were only 68 for 1st paper and there was no cutoff for paper 2nd and total marks cut off wbs 146 marks according to RTI
You need to score atleast 30% marks in paper 2 to qualify i.e 60 out of 200.
Dear kuldeep,there is individual cut off in both the papers .you have qualified in p1 with good marks.but in p2 your marks are too low to clear the written.
No their is no individual cut-off for paper-2, it exist for paper-1 only you need to score atleast 30% in Paper1+paper2 combine i.e 135 out of 450 to get through.
