BPSC AEDO Cut Off 2026: Status, Marks and Target Score
The BPSC AEDO cut off is the minimum score a candidate needs in the written examination for Assistant Education Development Officer posts (Advertisement No. 87/2025, 935 posts) to be called for document verification. The Bihar Public Service Commission will publish it, category-wise, along with the written result.
As of October 2026, no official cut-off exists for this recruitment. The written exam held from 14 to 21 April 2026 was cancelled, and BPSC has not yet announced the re-exam date. This page explains which marks will count, what will move the cut-off, and how to set a realistic target score while you wait.

Any "BPSC AEDO cut off" figure you see online today is an estimate, not an official mark. Track the official BPSC website for the re-exam schedule and result.
Which Marks Count Towards the Cut-Off
The written exam has three objective papers of 100 marks each, but only two of them decide your rank.
Paper | Marks | Role in selection |
|---|---|---|
Paper 1: General Language (English 30, Hindi 70) | 100 | Qualifying only, minimum 30% marks |
Paper 2: General Studies | 100 | Counted in merit |
Paper 3: General Aptitude | 100 | Counted in merit |
Merit total | 200 | Paper 2 + Paper 3 |
Some pages still quote expected cut-offs out of 300. Because Paper 1 is not added to the merit score, a merit cut-off out of 300 does not match the official scheme, so read such figures with caution.
Category-wise Vacancies
Category-wise cut-offs follow the number of posts in each category. The distribution below is as reported from the notification; verify it in the official PDF.

What Will Decide the BPSC AEDO Cut Off
Applicants per post: A very large applicant pool for 935 posts pushes the cut-off up, especially in categories with few seats.
Re-exam difficulty: An easier paper raises scores across the board; a tougher paper lowers them.
Negative marking: Each wrong answer costs one-third of a mark, so careless guessing lowers raw scores and the final cut-off.
Multiple shifts: If the re-exam runs in several shifts, BPSC may adjust scores for fairness, which can shift final marks.
How to Set Your Target Score
With no previous official cut-off, your mock scores out of 200 (Paper 2 + Paper 3) are the best benchmark. Aim for a clear margin rather than a bare pass, and never ignore Paper 1: missing its 30% minimum ends your selection, whatever your other scores.
Accuracy matters as much as attempts. For example, 80 attempts at 90% accuracy give 72 correct and 8 wrong, which is about 69.3 marks in that paper. The same 80 attempts at 75% accuracy give only about 53.3.
