Common doubts related to UPSC Marksheets

Seeing one’s marks gives some indication regarding the areas which need improvement. However, UPSC does not declare the marks until the exam process is over. Here are answers to some common doubts faced by candidates.

Doubt 1 – I took the UPSC Civil Services (Prelims) in 2020, and I did not qualify for mains. When can I see my prelims marks?

Ans – UPSC releases the marksheet after the entire examination process gets over. CSE Mains Marks are recently released. To check Prelims Marks, UPSC Online portal will open soon. Refer to the sequence of UPSC 2019 marksheet given below for clarity:

• • UPSC CSE Prelims 2019 (2nd June 2019)
  • UPSC Prelims Result
  • UPSC Mains 2019 (held in September 2019)
  • UPSC Mains 2019 result (January 2020)
  • IAS Interview 2019 (February – July 2020)
  • UPSC Final Result and Merit List (4th August 2020)
  • UPSC Marksheet (16th October 2020)

Note: You can download the UPSC Marksheet 2020 for Prelims, Mains and Interview on the official website – https://upsconline.nic.in/ or (upsc.gov.in).

Doubt 2 – I took the UPSC Prelims 2020 and qualified for the Mains 2020. However, I could not clear the Mains, when can I see my Prelims and Mains marksheet?

Ans – As mentioned above, the marksheet for prelims (for both successful and unsuccessful candidates) is released after the Final Result (after the Interview) for that exam year is declared. Final results 2020 are released in September 2021. On 28th September, CSE Mains 2020 marks, both for recommended and non-recommended candidates, are released. One can check it on the official website (upsconline.nic.in).

Doubt 3 – UPSC has released the Prelims marks. Where and how can I access them?

Ans – The official website of the UPSC has links to access the marks if they have been declared. Marks for UPSC 2020 can be accessed on the official website of the commission. UPSC 2020 results were out in September 2021. Prelims mark sheets are yet to be made available. Below is an example to illustrate how you can check your marks:

• • First, check the official website (either upsc.gov.in or upsconline.nic.in). You will then reach the page shown below in the image.

• • Enter Your UPSC Civil Services Preliminary Exam 2020 Roll Number.
  • Select your Date Of Birth.
  • Select if you have applied for CSE(P), Indian Forest Service or both.
  • Enter the captcha code and submit.
  • You should then see something like the image below.

Note: Similarly, UPSC Marksheet 2020 can be checked after the commission uploads it on the official website after the final results of CSE 2020.

Doubt 4 – I did not qualify for the interview stage. How can I download marksheet of UPSC Mains?

Ans – You will first have to register on the official website (upsconline.nic.in), following which UPSC will send the login credentials to your mail. This process usually takes less than five minutes. After that, you can log in to the official website and see the marks.

Note: The latest marks will be of UPSC 2020 as the Commisison has recently uploaded the UPSC Marks 2020 on its official website.

Doubt 5 – I was not recommended for the final list. How to download marksheet of Mains + Interview?

Ans – The procedure is the same as mentioned above.

• • Register on website
  • UPSC will email the login credentials
  • Login and see the marks
  • The mark sheet, in this case, will contain the marks for individual Mains papers and the interview marks along with the UPSC’s recommendation. For e.g., see the image below.

Doubt 6 – Why can’t I see the marks of my Language papers (compulsory) in Mains?

Ans – As those are qualifying papers, UPSC does not release the marks for them. However, in case a candidate has not secured the qualifying marks in them, the Mains marksheet will not have scores for the other papers as well.

Doubt 7 – How can seeing the marks help me form the exam strategy for UPSC 2022?

Ans – The marks are a quantified expression of a candidate’s performance in a given exam for the given year. However, the goal is to score above the cut off and not do PhD level research on a particular subject.

First, the qualifying papers (prelims and Language papers in Mains) should be a top priority, especially for Mains as marks for other papers are not disclosed if a candidate fails to clear the qualifying papers.

For other papers, marks should be seen in perspective with the syllabus, and grasp of current affairs related to that paper (GS-II, GS-III in particular). The aim should be to complete the whole question paper, e.g., instead of writing 12/20 answers correctly, try to answer all 20 questions with as much quality as you can muster. Candidates invariably find to their dissatisfaction that even after writing perfect answers they still scored on the lower end of the spectrum and the subsequent year, they spend an excessive amount of time on that subject at a cost to other papers. Having the relevant information and presenting the information in the exam are two separate things.

Interview marks are similarly subjective (the outcome of 20 minutes in front of a panel) and hence, the focus should be more on the soft skills instead of mugging reams of theoretical content for the Personality Test.

So, a candidate should reflect after seeing their marks whether it’s about lack of knowledge or an improvement in presentation skills (soft skills, tables, maps, diagrams, underlining the vital information, etc.) that is required.
