@sunnykumarroy658377 145 bro wat is expected cutoff for forest?? 😮😮

I have a bad feeling, shankar is going to predict high cutoffs tomorrow. Much more than our expectations

Zoraawar .

Anybody knowing about this scheme ?

@Satoshi_Nakamoto they can predict as much they want but this year 45% of upsc candidates are either failing in csat or are on borderline ( my sample space is around 1000 candidates) this will always come into play

@Satoshi_Nakamoto yes around 2-3 marks. So a very pessimistic view of cutoff would never be more than 98. But according to me its likely to be 94-96

According to vision analysis, no of easy questions this year were much more than last year
2020 stats : Easy questions : 32 2019 stats : Easy questions : 23
Medium questions : 32 Medium : 38
Difficult questions : 36 Difficulty : 39
On the outset, paper may have looked difficult , but people are getting inflated scores due to tukkebaazi ( sciene all Ds, extreme statement is wrong and all )

@chelseaboy

The answer is 2 and 3. I have clearly given it in my key. If any confusion in any question I will substantiate it with proper proofs.

@chelseaboy what i mean is , 2 or 3 marks decrease after taking into account, if csat had been easier and not 2 or 3 marks less from last years paper

A formula has been going around for calculating cutoff , which has given pretty accurate results since last 4 years
Cutoff =( 2* nof of easy questions) + ( 1* medium questions) + (1/3* diffcult questions )

More important than 45% is who are those 45%. How much they are getting? If even 10% of those getting more than 95 fail in csat, it will lower cut off by at least 2 marks.

@Equalizer Well I personally know 10-12 genuine people above 95 in paper 1 but below 70 in csat

@himu4u2007561 There is no confusion I agree with you. The answer to that Banian question is 2&3

Iske according to108 aayega(vision k analysis se) ...... Vision k last year k Easy-difficult analysis se 97 aa raha h...... Is baar result kuch jaldi aa skta h kya???

@Bawra man wohi bol raha mai .... last year k hissab se 97 aa raha hai aur aaya tha 98 ...agar aap 2 ya 3 marks ghata bhi do toh 105 ya bhott zyada ghatana hai toh 103 at max
