UPPCS 2024 Prelims RTI Reply: Cut-off tells the real story.
As we had already discussed earlier, UPPCS 2024 was one of the toughest papers in recent years, and the RTI reply clearly reflects that.
UR cut-off: 101 marks
This roughly means around 75–76 net correct questions.
Compare this with UPPCS 2023, where the cut-off was around 125 marks.
So, the cut-off has dropped from 125 to 101 - a fall of nearly 24 marks, and one of the lowest cut-offs since 2017.
This also indicates one important thing: UPPSC have changed some answers in the revised/final answer key.
And here comes the biggest concern. The real issue is not the toughness of the paper, but the opaqueness around the process.
The Commission is not releasing the: Revised answer key, marksheet and even this cut-off is coming through an RTI reply.
I do not know whether the Commission realises this or not, but this lack of transparency is slowly killing the dreams of many bright aspirants.
Exam ke 2 saal baad bhi students literally don’t know why they failed.
And trust me, this is one of the worst feelings...when you fail but you don’t even know the reason.
Without marksheet and final answer key, baccho ko kaise pata chalega:
Where did I lose marks?
Which answers were changed?
Was my strategy wrong, or was the answer key different?
Should I change my sources, my revision method, or my test-taking approach?
It is like a court declaring someone guilty but refusing to share the reasoning.
Justice without reasons becomes power, not fairness. And this is unfair to the dignity of a student’s hard work.
Kam se kam itna toh pata ho ki galti kaha hui hai.
This is the minimum that every serious and hardworking aspirant deserves.
