i hope discussion and speculations on cut-off should be over by now and no matter what will be the cut-off one thing we have to prepare for sure is "optional" whether this time or in future...so i request all those who had suffered last year due to geography and all those who scored well but could not make it in the list to share their strategy this time with respect to their approach, test series, current topics to be prepared for paper-2 etc. any thing which is "relevant" and which you think can help other as well as yourself.... let's make it a fruitful discussion
