By RPSC Tools Editorial Team · October 18, 2026 · 8 min read
RAS Prelims 2024 ki date announce ho chuki hai — 6 December 2026. Iska matlab hai ki ab sirf 41 din bacha hai, aur sabse bada sawaal jo aspirants ke dimag mein ghoom raha hai woh yeh hai: Mujhe minimum kitne marks chahiye?
Maine pichhle do saalon ka data carefully dekha — 2021 aur 2023 dono exams ka — aur is article mein woh sab share kar raha hoon jo aapko realistic expectation banane mein help karega. Sirf ek number nahi dunga, balki woh logic bhi bataunga jis basis par yeh estimate kiya gaya hai.
Pehle samjhein — Cutoff kaise decide hoti hai?
Bahut log yeh galti karte hain ki sirf ek number yaad kar lete hain aur sochte hain "bas itna chahiye." Lekin cutoff teen cheezein milke decide karti hain:
- Total vacancies: Jitni zyada vacancies, utni zyada seats — cutoff thodi neeche jaati hai.
- Paper difficulty: Agar paper aasaan tha toh average score upar jaayega — cutoff upar jaayegi.
- Total applicants: Competition jitna zyada, cutoff utni tight hoti hai.
RAS 2024 mein 733 vacancies hain. Prelims mein generally 15x seats qualify karti hain, yani approximately 10,995 students Mains ke liye select honge.

2024 Cutoff zyada kyun hogi?
Teen main wajah hain jis se mujhe lagta hai 2024 ki cutoff 2023 se zyada hogi:
1. Paper difficulty: Exam centres se jo feedback aaya hai usme bahut logo ne kaha ki paper "comfortable" tha — especially Geography aur History ke questions straightforward the. Jab paper easy hota hai, high scorers ki sankhya badh jaati hai, aur cutoff upar jaati hai.
2. Upward trend: 2021 se 2023 ke beech har category mein 3–5 marks ka uniform increase tha. Agar yahi trend 2024 mein jaari rahe, toh General Male ka cutoff 98.67 + ~4 = roughly 102–103 ban jaata hai. Lekin paper easy hone ki wajah se yeh 106–107 tak bhi ja sakta hai.
3. Preparation level: Har saal zyada log coaching join karte hain, test series dete hain. Average candidate abhi 2021 ke average candidate se behtar prepared hai.
Safe Score Kya Hai?
TSP vs Non-TSP: Ek Important Distinction
Yeh point bahut logo ko confuse karta hai. TSP (Tribal Sub Plan) area ke ST candidates ke liye cutoff actually zyada hoti hai, Non-TSP ST se nahi, zyada hoti hai. Iska reason yeh hai ki TSP area mein seats ki reservation alag hai aur uss pool mein competition bhi alag hai.
Agar aap ST category mein hain, toh confirm karein ki aap TSP area mein hai ya Non-TSP — dono ke liye cutoffs alag hain aur dono mein alag merit list banti hai.
Aage kya karein?
Agar aapne exam de diya hai, toh sabse pehla kaam yeh karein:
- Apna score calculate karein — humare RAS Score Calculator se accurate score pata karein with negative marking.
- Historical cutoff compare karein — humare Cutoff Tracker mein apni category ka trend dekho.
- Mains preparation start karein — agar safe score hai toh results ka wait na karein. Mains ka syllabus bahut bada hai.
Agar abhi exam baaki hai, toh is article ki table ko reference ke roop mein use karo — yeh samajhne ke liye ki kitne marks chahiye, nahi ki aapka target kya hona chahiye (target hamesha maximum hona chahiye).
