Cut off marks for IAS entrance test is usually decided by UPSC. It varies over years. Anyway, candidates must answer maximum number of questions to get through the same. In prelims there will be two papers. Try to make at least 60 questions correct in Paper I and at least 48 questions in Paper II. You must score at least 240 marks in prelims to get in to safe zone.
