As per the team of experts at Civils Today, last year the cut off (General) was 107.34 which is 54 correct answers. Last year the questions were relatively easy and many questions were from NCERT books which is not the case this year. Most of the questions this year are applied. There are not more than 18-20 sitters this year whereas this number was in excess of 25 last year. And hence if we drop the correct answers to 44-45 from last year’s 54, it transfers to 85-90.
