Frequently asked questions
Is CSAT (Prelims Paper-II) counted for the Prelims merit list?
No. CSAT is purely qualifying — you only need to score 33% or more to clear it. Only your GS Paper-I score determines your position on the Prelims cutoff and merit list.
What happens if I don't clear the CSAT qualifying mark?
If you score below 33% in CSAT, you're disqualified from Prelims regardless of how well you scored in GS Paper-I — both papers must be cleared to qualify for Mains.
Does CSAT have negative marking?
Yes, the same 1/3rd negative marking scheme as GS Paper-I applies: 2.5 marks for each correct answer, with 1/3rd of that deducted for each wrong answer. Unattempted questions aren't penalized.
