Does the APSC Result PDF Show Marks?

No. The APSC Prelims result PDF contains only the roll numbers of qualified candidates. Individual marks and the official cut-off are typically released later, usually after the entire selection process concludes. Candidates who wish to estimate their scores can tally their responses against the final answer key released by the Commission.

• APSC CCE Prelims 2025–26 Cut-Off

The official category-wise cut-off will be released by APSC in due course. Based on the shortlisting pattern of recent cycles — where roughly 11 to 12 times the number of vacancies are called for Mains — around 850 to 940 candidates were expected to qualify against the 78 advertised posts.

Remember, Paper-II (CSAT) is qualifying in nature with a 33% threshold, and the merit for Prelims is drawn from Paper-I. The Prelims carried a total of 400 marks (200 per paper) with a negative marking of 0.25 marks for every incorrect answer.

What Happens After the APSC Prelims Result?

Qualifying the Prelims is only the first hurdle in the three-stage APSC selection process:

Stage 1: Prelims – Screening test (cleared ✔)
Stage 2: Mains – Descriptive written examination
Stage 3: Interview/Personality Test – Final assessment

Shortlisted candidates must now:

• Fill the Detailed Application Form (DAF) for the Mains when APSC opens the window — keep documents, photographs, and payment methods ready
• Track apsc.nic.in regularly for the Mains notification, exam schedule, and admit card
• Begin Mains preparation immediately — the gap between the Prelims result and the Mains exam is typically only a few months, and the descriptive format demands consistent answer-writing practice across multiple General Studies papers and the essay paper

In the previous cycle, the Mains was held over three days in October, so candidates should plan their preparation timeline accordingly.

Didn’t Qualify? Here’s What You Should Do

Not clearing the Prelims is disappointing, but it is not the end of the road. APSC conducts the CCE annually, and many successful officers cleared the exam in their second or third attempt. Use this cycle’s experience to:

• Analyse which sections pulled your score down — Assam-specific GK, current affairs, and Polity carry consistent weight
• Attempt full-length mock tests under timed conditions
• Never neglect CSAT — every year, candidates clear the Paper-I cut-off but stumble on the qualifying paper
• Start early for the next notification instead of waiting for the official announcement
