WBCS Exam Prelims Cut Off Marks 2026

The cut-off marks for the WBCS examination are the minimum qualifying scores required to progress from the Prelims stage to the Mains, and subsequently to the Interview. These marks are released by the commission on their official website a few days after the exam results are declared. The cut-off is dynamic and is determined by several factors, including the total number of vacancies available, the difficulty level of the question paper, and the overall performance of the candidate pool.

While historical data provides an indication of the competition, the actual cut-off for the current year is decided by the commission at the time of result publication. Candidates should use previous years' cut-off data only as a reference to calibrate their preparation goals and identify the required level of accuracy. Detailed category-wise cut-off tables, once released, will be available on the official portal, and candidates are encouraged to check these against their category to gauge their selection status.
