The candidates should note that the WBCS Prelims exam is qualifying only and the marks secured in the prelims exam are not considered/added for the final selection. Irrespective of that, the WBCS prelims is the first stage of exam and it is mandatory to clear the prelims exam in order to appear in the main exam.
The WBCS Prelims cutoff serve as a threshold for the candidates to become eligible for the main exam. The WBPSC releases the WBCS cutoff for each category separately depending on the number of vacancies in each category.

No, the marks obtained in the WBCS Prelims exam are not considered in the final cutoff for selection. The WBCS Prelims is a screening test, and candidates need to qualify it to appear for the Mains exam.
The final WBPSC WBCS selection is based on the combined performance in the Mains exam and Interview round. The marks obtained in the Prelims do not contribute to the final merit list.

The WBCS selection process is not going to change because the West Bengal Public Service Commission is required to take approval from the state government before applying any change in the WBCS exam process. As per the latest media reports, no such approval was asked by the Commission from the state government.
The WBCS exam is expected to remain the same as previous years, consisting of three stages:
- Prelims
- Mains
- Personality Test
