UPSSSC Junior Assistant Cut Off: Marks and Trend

The UPSSSC Junior Assistant cut off is the minimum written exam score needed to be shortlisted for the next stage, which is the qualifying typing test. The Commission releases it along with the written exam result and does not fix it in advance.

The figures below are for the 12-Exam/2024 cycle, whose written exam was held on 1 February 2026. They are reported by public exam portals from the Commission's result notice, so confirm them in the result PDF on the official website.

Previous cut-off: typing test shortlist (2026 result)

The reports do not state the maximum marks for these figures. The written paper carries 100 marks, so they are most likely out of 100, but treat that as tentative. In this cycle 46,282 candidates were reported as shortlisted for the typing test.

What affects the cut-off

• Paper difficulty: A harder paper lowers scores and the cut-off.

• Vacancies: This cycle began with 2,702 posts and was later revised to roughly 3,280, which widens the shortlist.

• Number of candidates: A large pool shortlisted through PET leads to a competitive scoring range.

• Reservation category: Cut-offs are set category-wise.

How to set your target

Cut-offs change every year with difficulty, vacancies and the number of applicants. Treat last year's figures as a benchmark only, and aim for a clear margin above them rather than a bare pass.

• Target a safe score: A consistent 80 to 85 in full mocks gives room for a harder paper.

• Protect accuracy: With 0.25 negative marking, attempt only the questions you can solve with reasonable confidence.

• Lock in Hindi and computer: These are the most predictable marks.

Final stage cut-offs, if released, will appear on upsssc.gov.in.
