UPSC ESE 2024 Cut off Released
On 22nd November 2024, UPSC announced the final results of the Engineering Services Examination (ESE) – 2024. Following the results, UPSC also released the category-wise cut-off marks for each branch.
ESE has three stages and each stage is a knockout stage. In ESE a candidate has to score minimum qualifying marks in every subsequent stage from Prelims stage in order to reach to the final and third stage of the exam i.e. the interview. Hence qualifying Prelims is very important. After prelims there is sufficient gap of six months for Main examination. Candidates scoring well in Main are called for the Personality test. Then the final result is declared out of total marks 1300. The marks secured by last recommended candidate are the cut off marks for Engineering Services Exam.
Cut-off marks of three stages of ESE-2024 for respective branches are as follows:

The tie-breaking principles for ESE 2024 are as follows:
Wherever two or more candidates have secured equal aggregate marks in ESE, 2024, the tie(s) have been resolved as per the principles approved by the Commission:
- Candidates with higher marks in subject/technical papers and Personality Test may be ranked higher.
- If the total marks in subject/technical papers and Personality Test are equal, the candidate who is senior in age may be ranked higher.
Cut Off marks for ESE is decided by UPSC which is set on the basis of number of factors namely total number of vacancies, total number of candidates appeared, reservation rules of government of India, etc.
Seeing high cut off marks it’s quite obvious every aspirant should put in their best efforts from beginning itself and score high in every stage for a better cumulative total and thereby a sure shot selection for the prestigious engineering services of our country.

Sir, why did there is no cutoff provided for ECE in PH3 category for last two years in IES.
Sir one eyed person are eligible for ese in ee
Dear Candidate,
Thanks for writing to us. The following is an excerpt from the medical standards required by UPSC:
“If a person has one eye or if he/she has one eye which has normal vision and the other eye is ambiopic or has subnormal vision, the usual effect is that the person lacks stereoscopic vision for perception of depth. Such vision is not necessary for many civil posts. ”
The medical board may recommend as fit such person provided the normal eye has
(i) 6/6 distant vision and J-I near vision with or without glasses, provided the error in any meridian is not more than 4 diopters for distance vision.
(ii)full field of vision
(iii) Normal colour vision wherever required”
