IES main exam 2020 expected cut off

IES main exam 2020 was conducted in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and lots of candidates left their exams because of corona fear. Though the UPSC exam centres have taken all the important precautions to stop the spread of coronavirus but the unavailability of public transport played its role in increasing the absent ratio.

The candidates are expecting approximately the same cut-off this year also because of two reasons.

The number of vacancies is less compared to the previous year and both the papers differ from the previous year. The IES 2020 main exam was a bit difficult as the paper I was conceptual and the second paper was lengthy. But the number of vacancies are less this year,` so the overall cut off for the IES 2020 exam will remain approximately same to the last year with the variation of five to ten marks on the higher side.
