The secret to happiness is low expectations. #
And most of the time we find the happy people in the final list. Last year mangoDolly was expecting some 500 or so, but he ended in the final list.
Aisa nai hai bhai.. RS to exam dene ke bad se abhi tak happy hi happy hai.. Last year I predicted around 600 for myself.. Got only around 500.. That was my first attempt.. so did not have much idea of the marking.. In the hindsight I believe to have got marks proportional to my performance.. Prior to 2013, it seems, marks was awarded too leniently.. kaddu katega aur sabme batenga types..

Bhai, most of the serious candidates will get 150 in GS1,2,3 combined & 150+ in optionas. So 300+ Then, the only possibility of such a low cutoff (as predicted by insiders like @The_Last_Samurai , etc) is that many of us will not manage to get around 200 in the Essay + GS-4 paper combined.
@geo optional guys... how u all guys predict the expected marks this year. have u all look at the below link answers given by one IIT guy...are u all accept that his answers will fetch him the expected marks.
