Arre bhai, itna confusion kyun create kar rahe ho? Things that are sure right now (for all practical purposes)- 1. CSAT is indeed qualifying. Get 66 marks. That's it. Selection will be based on GS marks 2. Notification is delayed (probably due to technical reasons. Yeah, bureaucracy sucks) 3. No other change as of now i.e. in optional/attempts/age limits etc
yaar jo tum optional ke bare me keh rahe ho logical hai . coz itna bada decision committee ke reco aane par hi hogi. having said that csat ko qualifying banana bhi ek badi decision hai.
Just checked the CSAT Test series results of a coaching institute. Nearly 55-60% are scoring below 66/200, I.E below 33% in CSAT. So, 33% minimum qualifying marks even at the present level of difficulty is not attainable for 55-60%! I am assuming that the sample size of 2700-3000 is reflective of larger trends. In any case, those who are good at CSAT need not worry. At the same time, a lot of the candidates will still get eliminated even in this pattern!
see the drama of coaching institutes from now onwards...coaching centres will make their model tests so tough and potray that many could n't get even 33% and so you need coaching for CSAT too.. )
I am just waiting for some coaching institute to say that CSAT covers 300-400 marks in GS with reasons like better comprehension skills help you understand the mains question correctly and only then you can write correct answers. Furthermore, better reasoning skills will help you to find reasons which you can write down to support your argument and better maths skills will help you to cover maximum marks ...the better you can count..the better you will attempt.

While presenting Draft Bill on Constitution, Dr. Ambedkar made clear that, -
"A country aspiring to unshackle socio-economic bondage of centuries can not afford to adopt a preliminary exam for aspiring civil servants which shy away from giving due importance to assessing their reasoning and mental alacrity."
In the same tone, G. V Mahavalankar said-
"To see India among the comity of advanced and technologically rich Nations, there is no substitute to CSAT exam.
A few year later, British PM Churchill commented on the Scheme of UPSC exam-
"The administrative foundation setforth through the Act of 1935 can be purposefully eexpanded and build upon only through a cadre of Civil Servants who found CSAT an enabling platform rather than a hurdle."
now dont worry at all CSAT is just qualifying....still work hard as problem comphrehension is your main problem.. I pray to god that you will get that 33% marks....
