This notice confirms which candidates have been shortlisted for the interview stage and which candidates were rejected after scrutiny of representations, along with the specific reasons for rejection.

UPSC Public Prosecutor CBI Result Status

Yes. UPSC has released the final status of candidatures for candidates who appeared for scrutiny for the post of Public Prosecutor (CBI). This status was finalized after UPSC considered representations submitted by candidates. It is important to note that this is a shortlisting status for the interview stage not a final selection result with marks or a merit list. This notice covers the stage after the Recruitment Test (RT) and representation review, confirming eligibility for the interview round. A score card and merit list are not applicable at this stage, as this notice only confirms interview shortlisting, not final selection. Cut-off marks have not been officially released in this notice, as UPSC's Public Prosecutor recruitment process does not disclose numerical cut-offs at the shortlisting stage.
