    There is no way to know this, my friend. Marking pattern varied greatly from 2013 to 2014. There is no way to speculate either on one's own score or on a "good score" because the quality of answers is judged by UPSC and not by us.
  • As number of seat reduced by abt 150 so cut off ll go dwn by 10-11
    As optional were tough :so 15-20
    Ethics was bit lengthy nd tough:5-10
    So cut off 620-630
    Rest depend upon upsc
    ITS HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE
    SO NOONE CAN PREDICT ..
  • whats the logic behind reduced no. of seats and low cutoff ?

    whats the logic behind reduced no. of seats and low cutoff ?
    may be like 15k(less ppl qualified in pre due to 150 posts lesser than last time) compared to 17k last time....

    Yes its proportional to number of vacancies

    If vacancies are less...how cut off will go down.

    When 1200 are selected cutoff will be marks of rank 1200..when 1000 are selected cut off will be marks of rank 1000
    Mark of rank 1000>12000...but that doesn't makrs much difference becoz of high concentration of candidate in low range of marks

    But there is upward going trend and gs papers question were more relevant and easily doable than last year...so mark pattern for gs seem to be same as last year so i think concentration may be higher in middle level scores to high rather than low
