Thus, it is clear that the prelim results were announced nearly two months after the examination was held. For JPSC 2021 session, the prelim examination took place on September 19, 2021. Hence, it can be expected that the results for the same will be announced by the end of November, 2021. The expected release date is November 25, 2021. Since this is just an assumption based on the previous JPSC result declaration trend, candidates are advised to keep an eye on the official website for more details.
The previous official JPSC prelims cut-offs are not available. However, candidates can take a look at the previous JPSC main and final cut-offs to get some idea about the tentative cut-off this year.
