UPSC cut-off is arrived at by the interplay of the aforesaid three factors. The standard of UPSC question papers remains almost the same every year. This is the reason that the previous year question papers of UPSC exams are helpful in the UPSC Preparation.

The number of vacancies influences the UPSC cut-off because it can be said that keeping all the other factors equal to the previous year, higher the vacancies will reduce the UPSC cut-off. After all, the UPSC has to take more candidates from the merit list and hence the cutoff mark will be lowered.

The third factor is not so important because the number of candidates appearing in the UPSC exams remains almost similar each year. There could be two conditions when this factor will affect the UPSC cut off, which are as follows.

1. The higher number of candidates will compete more fiercely and the UPSC cut off will rise.
2. There can be a case when the number of applicants will be less than the vacancies notified by the UPSC. In our country, this is very difficult to happen.

The standard of UPSC question paper and the number of applicants who appear in the exam remains almost equal each year. UPSC also releases its answer key after the exam. So the candidates can check their answers and cut off in hand, they can plan their strategy for next year in a better-informed way.
