How to Check UPSC CMS Result on upsc.gov.in
CMS results are announced as roll-number PDF notifications for the written stage, and UPSC also hosts candidate-wise scorecards for a limited period after the written result. The final result is published as a recommendation list. Use the steps below to check every stage:
- Visit the official UPSC website www.upsc.gov.in.
- For the written result, open the "Written Results" section under "What's New" and look for the entry "Written Results of Combined Medical Services Examination, 2025".
- Open the linked PDF notification and search your roll number (Ctrl+F). The notice lists roll numbers qualified for the Interview along with the written-stage cut-off.
- After the written result, UPSC publishes the CMS scorecard in the scorecard/marks section of the site. Enter your roll number/registration details to download your paper-wise marks. Download it promptly, as the scorecard link is available only for a limited window.
- Candidates shortlisted for the Interview receive the Interview schedule through notices on the UPSC website. The Interview is of 100 marks.
- For the final result, check the "Results" notifications on the UPSC homepage. The final notice lists recommended candidates' roll numbers, with name-wise details and marks of recommended candidates published subsequently.
- If you missed any result notice, check the exam result archive section, where earlier cycle results remain accessible.

CMS 2025 Cut-off Marks – Category-wise Details
The CMS written exam consists of two computer-based objective papers: Paper I (General Medicine, including Paediatrics, 250 marks) and Paper II (Surgery including Orthopaedics, Preventive & Social Medicine including Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 250 marks) — 500 marks in total. UPSC fixes the written cut-off on the aggregate of both papers, with separate minimums for General, EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwBD categories.
Candidates who clear the written cut-off are called for the Interview/Personality Test worth 100 marks. The final cut-off is applied on the combined 600-mark aggregate (written 500 + Interview 100). Because CMS vacancies are spread across multiple services (Railways, Ordnance Factories, CGHS, NDMC, MCD), the final category-wise cut-offs are determined keeping the total vacancies and category-wise reservation in view. The written-stage cut-off is printed inside the written result PDF itself, and the final category-wise cut-off list accompanies the final result. UPSC maintains an archive of category-wise cut-offs of earlier CMS cycles on its cut-off marks page for trend comparison.
Selection Process and Next Stages After the Result
The CMS selection has three stages. Stage 1 is the computer-based written exam (two objective papers of 250 marks each) covering the MBBS curriculum in general medicine and surgery branches. Stage 2 is the Interview/Personality Test of 100 marks conducted by a UPSC board. Stage 3 is the final merit list prepared on the 600-mark aggregate, subject to a candidate's service preferences and the vacancy position across the participating services.
Recommended candidates then undergo medical verification because CMS posts have prescribed age and physical/medical standards. Appointment letters are issued by the concerned ministry or department after the final result. Selected medical officers are posted to a service like Indian Ordnance Factories Health Service, Railways (Health Ministry), CHS/CGHS, NDMC or MCD per allocation. Those who attended the Interview but do not find their name in the main merit list should await the reserve list, which UPSC publishes separately within a few months after the final result.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1. Where is the CMS 2025 written result PDF available?
A. It is published in the Written Results section under "What's New" on upsc.gov.in. The final result is published in the Results notifications on the same website.
Q2. Is a roll number in the written result the same as a rank?
A. No. The written PDF only confirms qualification for the Interview. Ranks are assigned only in the final result based on combined written and Interview marks.
Q3. What is the reserve list in CMS?
A. The reserve list is a waiting list published after the final result. If recommended candidates do not join or additional vacancies are reported by the services, candidates from the reserve list are considered in merit order.
Q4. Are Interview marks disclosed to candidates?
A. UPSC does not issue individual Interview scorecards. Written-stage scorecards are published in the scorecard section for a limited period, and marks of recommended candidates are published later. Other candidates may seek paper-wise marks through the marks disclosure/RTI procedure after the cycle is complete.
Q5. When will the next CMS recruitment cycle start?
A. UPSC releases the CMS notification once a year, typically around April-May, and the exam is normally held in July. Check the Examinations section of upsc.gov.in and the annual examination calendar for the next cycle's dates.
