Rajasthan Judicial Service Cut-Off: Previous Year Marks and Trend

The Rajasthan Judicial Service cut-off is the minimum score needed to move to the next stage. It works at two points: the Preliminary Examination, which decides who is called for the Main Examination, and the final merit list, which decides who is selected. This page gives the figures reported for the 2025 cycle, the most recent completed recruitment, and explains how to turn them into a practical target.

The High Court publishes cut-off marks in its result notices, not in a separate cut-off table. The figures below are as reported from the 2025 result notices, so verify them against the official PDFs before you quote them. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only. Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants, so aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

Preliminary Cut-Off 2025

The 2025 prelims was held on 27 July 2025, and the result was declared on 19 August 2025. Seven questions were deleted, and reports say the paper was evaluated out of 93 questions. Read the figures below with that in mind.

Final Cut-Off 2025

The final result was declared on 19 December 2025. Final merit is based on the Main Examination and the interview, which makes the maximum 335 marks by our calculation from the scheme. The figures below are as reported for candidates who appeared for the interview.

OBC and MBC figures are not shown here because the reports we reviewed were unclear. Check them in the official result notice. Download it from the notice list at https://hcraj.nic.in/hcraj/recruitment_detail.php?id=NTQ%3D.

Cut-Off Trend

Earlier-year figures come from a single published analysis and are indicative. The direction is still useful: the General cut-off has stayed in the seventies, and the 2025 figure was achieved on a smaller base of questions, which makes it tougher in percentage terms.

What Affects the Cut-Off

• Difficulty of the paper: A harder paper lowers raw scores and the cut-off with them.

• Vacancies: The Main stage shortlists a limited multiple of the vacancies in each category, so the cut-off settles at the score of the last shortlisted candidate.

• Applicants: More strong applicants push the cut-off up.

• Question deletions: Deleted questions change the maximum marks, as happened in 2025.

How to Set Your Target

1. Start from the General figure: Aim for 80 or more out of 100 in timed practice, even if your category cut-off is lower.

2. Protect the language marks: Hindi and English make up 30 marks, and they are often where a few extra marks come from.

3. Plan beyond the prelims: The final cut-off depends on the Main Examination and the interview, so keep writing practice running alongside objective practice.

4. Use mocks as a benchmark: Take full-length tests under exam conditions and track your trend, not one score.
