Dear Aspirants, very often you have heard that one should know the depth of the sea before diving into it. This maxim holds true for UPSC ESE 2026<\/strong> aspirants as well. ESE 2026 aspirants should have an idea of the ESE previous years\u2019 prelims and mains cutoff marks.<\/p>\n

These cut-off marks act as an indicator of competition and help aspirants in setting realistic goals required to clear the exam. They also help aspirants evaluate their readiness and plan their strategy more efficiently. With varying cut-offs, aspirants can get an idea of the level of competition.<\/p>\n

The Union Public Service Commission<\/strong> announced the final results of ESE 2025 on the evening of 17th December 2025. Like every year, this year as well, MADE EASY<\/a> has given the maximum selections. In ESE 2025, around 95% of the selected candidates were from MADE EASY.<\/p>\n

Before going further, let us look at the UPSC ESE exam pattern in simpler terms.<\/p>\n

The UPSC ESE is conducted in three stages: prelims, mains, and interview. Every stage in the ESE<\/a> is a knockout stage. In the ESE, a candidate has to score the minimum qualifying marks at every subsequent stage, starting from the prelims, in order to reach the final and third stage of the exam, i.e., the interview. Hence, qualifying for the prelims is very important. After the prelims, there is a sufficient gap of around six months before the main examination. Candidates scoring well in the mains are called for the personality test. Then, the final result is declared out of a total of 1300 marks. The marks secured by the last recommended candidate are considered the cut-off marks for the Engineering Services Examination.<\/p>\n

So, after understanding the pattern, it is important to understand the cut-off trend as well. If you are someone aiming for ESE 2026, this blog will be useful for you. Here, we have shared the last five years of ESE cut-offs.<\/p>\n
