Reason 1-prev. Ye tk 400 marks mei 30 marks ka difference rhta hai. 2- prev. Year csat mei logo ki what lgti thi so GS mei score krte the tb difference GS k wajah se balance ho jaata tha
What I feel is that in general category last year a person with 75 marks in GS Paper could also clear prelims.... Now assuming it was mainly due to apti paper that he/she was able to clear the prelims.... so if remove that factor & knowing the fact that in GS apart from what somebody would have read last year... there is not much (<5-10% additional) one could have read ... cut off for general would be additional 15 marks this year...i.e 90 marks.... so going by what you are saying SC cut-off would be somewhere between 75-80 this year ???
@Movingon Bro 10-15 marks Se zyada Ka difference Nahi dekhna chahiye going by the past trends. Anyone above 85(worst case scenario marks) should start his prep

Peace
What you mean by worst case scenario ?
It would be foolish to judge cutoff by past trends.
CSAT - each question had 2.5 marks and GS had 2 only.
Nearly 50 % people who cleared from 2011 had CSAT as advantage.
But this time - though Paper 1 seems easy at the first look people might still end up at 50 % marks in General Category on an average.
What I meant to say is those 50 % people from CSAT pool would have felt difficulty with paper 1.
So considerably cutoff may come down. Since 2011 attempt guys are also in the race - they may fill in those gaps.
I expect the cuoff for SC category would hover around 78 - 86 ( last SC candidate to be selected based on the number of vacancies or 15 % )
By Worst case scenario I mean after averaging the variations in institutes keys as they r not sacrosanct Take my own example....last time ShankarIAS was giving me 95 n Vaji ...90 I ended up with 84.5
So this time I would take my score to be 10 less than these so called awesome keys....which will come to around 100
N regarding cutoff...see bro,personally I would love to c that it falls way below 85 (even <80) ....rest all z in hands of Upsc Let us all take some break n then start study again >:D<
I just have 3 submissions for my assertion of 75+ cutoff for SC category (i.e 90 for General Category): 1. CSAT being scrapped does not mean automatic transfer of marks from Apti to GS. 2. Few people saying that bcoz CSAT is scrapped ...people will study more GS. Now we all know the meaning of "more" in GS......If GS Paper of this year was there last year with Apti paper being intact.... I believe people would have scored the same marks as this year...So I personally see no "logic" in "More time for GS this year " logic 3. Last point which I think is fair is that this year paper was a bit easier compared to last year.....so 75 +15 add. marks = 90 marks for General cutoff & accordingly 75+ for SC category...
(Why I have taken 75 for General for last year??...same logic as point number 2....I believe there is no such difference in GS prep. this year or last year as there is only so much that one can do in GS )
Please share your thoughts....and anyways just wanted to put these points...anyways best of luck to all of you...
