    Definitely below 800....essays were difficult...i know of lots of people who wrote about renewable energies in essay on alternative technologies....paper 3 was difficult but paper 2 had many straight forward questions from laxmikant..so it compensates.....however the real reason for lower cutoff is optionals...optionals are progressively becoming tough year on year...

    Will b more than 806 definitely .. as lower number of seats and increasing competition day by day ..PPL are hell bent on writing answers so most of the sincere and serious students are able to finish the paper ..plus efficient and effective guidance available from multiple online sources ..plus now the coaching institutes and candidates are well versed with the pattern...
    And notably it has increased every year

    +1

    Atleast 20 marks increase in gs+essay cutoff due to this.

    If optionals marking remains same then cutoff ~825, without doubt.

  • I guess, it's not more than 777. Reasons were already provided by the intro post.
  • na forum pr hai na telegram pr saare log ghumne nikl gye kiya
  • Cutoff will fall by 15-20 marks for sure despite being less Seats
  • Cutoff should be similar to last year. Cut throat competition though
