The CSE Preliminary test was held on May 25. There were over 10 lakh applicants for the 979 open positions, including the IAS, IPS, and IFS.

Waiting for the Official Word to Come Out

Candidates should keep an eye on upsc.gov.in (the official UPSC website), as the results are expected to be out at any time now. The Commission hasn't said when the results will be released, but based on past annual cycles, the preliminary results should be made public two to three weeks after the test. Based on what has happened in the past, we can expect to hear something by June 14th.

How to Read the Results: What to Look for in the PDF

The UPSC CSE Prelims Result 2025 will be posted on the official website as a PDF file as soon as it is made public. The PDF will only have the roll numbers of people who passed the first round of the selection process and are now moving on to the next, more difficult step, which is the UPSC Civil Services Mains Examination 2025. There will be no individual marks or cut-off numbers given out with the preliminary results. They won't be made public until after the interviews, when the final CSE 2025 results are made public.

The Prelims: The Mains and Final Selection
