  • The average scores required in different papers to get a decent rank (within 100 to 300 range may be)
    Notes: It's highly generalised analysis based on the marks obtained by various candidates.

    Essay - 130-140
    GS - 420-430
    Optional - min 300
    PT -170.
    Total - 1030.

    PT mark is almost unpredictable even after interview (130 to 170 variations).

    Difference between written vut off and final cut off is ~ 200. That means the person cleared written with border marks - negligible chance to get a rank even in bottom.

    Essay many scoring 140s (benchmark)
    Optional min 300, goes to 350 also. If u r exceptional in optional subject or ur optional is highly rewarding in that year, there is some leeway with GS marks ( 400 - 430).

    If ur optional is not that much rewarding (below 250), even good scores​ in Essay, GS ll only take u till PT not get even bottom rank.
    So min 280 marks in optional necessary to get a decent rank.
    What about individual subjects of gs..1,2,3 and 4...what were the 'good' scores
