    To be considered for the final CDS cutoff, you must score passing marks of at least 20% on each paper individually. There are generally three papers, except for OTA appearing candidates; for them there are only two papers. Each of the three papers consists of a total of 100 marks, so it means that you need to score 20 marks on each paper. Apart from that, there is a service-wise cut off, such as a separate cut off for IMA, INA, AFA, and OTA. This varies each year, and you can check the previous year's cut off on this page of Shiksha https://www.shiksha.com/exams/cds-exam-cutoff.
