Hi @Madhur

First things first: CSAT is the qualifying Paper 2 under the UPSC Preliminary Exam.

To Clear the CSAT Paper:
A candidate requires 33% marks in the CSAT exam (paper 2) to be eligible to clear the Prelims exam, though the final selection for UPSC Mains exam is based on your marks in Paper 1.
