[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

@amar1902 Bhai I am not speculating on cutoff, it may go as high as you predict but if your entire argument is based on online polls then you need to reconsider it. There are more random people marking such polls than serious ones. (My own brother who is in college has marked 110+ in the 20k + poll you are talking about. He has not even taken the exam, let alone scoring 110+)

In the world of UPSC ..is BYJU's even a real thing? Their own notes probably have the ugliest font possible. Here people are disowning established names like Baburam and Veejan like rotten potatoes. 

And seriously 9 marks ka range dekeapni bachi hui credibility bhi damage kar rhe wo log.

This year, Shankar is gonna be so wrong. .. Cutoff will be 

Gen =92-95

EWS= 89-92

OBC= 90-93

SC= 78-82

ST= 73-78

actually it will be higher than shankar's prediction.  they have seriously underestimated how high people are scoring this year

There are always some people, who score way higher .. I am an ST candidate, serving in State services , giving prelims since 2012, cleared prelims 5 times, appeared in PT 3 times. You must have been undergrad, or in high school by then. Trust me when I say, the cutoff won’t go higher this year than what i quoted earlier

ignoring your condescending tone, why dont you check out some of the polls? there are not just "some" people scoring high, its way too many.  This year's options were set up in such a manner that anyone taking so called obvious guesses (typical prelims tricks) is scoring high.

For proof, u can check out polls. Even polls of reputed institutes like insights say almost 4-5k  people above 105 in a sample of 20k, so you can do the math.

Now an experienced candidate like you will argue that polls are filled with fake scores, or insights is not a reputed institute, so go ahead believe what you want.

Also, coaching institutes 1. have an achor bias to previous year cutoffs, they are particularly scared to go higher.  they may go lower when papeer is more difficult, but they tend to not go higher as seen in 2016 (compared to 2015). 2. lower cutoffs= more test series sold.

obviously above points are disputed. But this is the most objective way to look at it

Tougher paper, lesser appearing candidates and yet cutoff going higher. Yes that's strong logic right there. 


only non-serious candidates dont appear, serious ones won't skip for the fear of corona or anything else (majority of them)

Are you really that smoothbrained to think that there won't be any drop in cutoff even though turnouts have been 50 60% of normal? Ah man. Its sad

Did any institute claimed 70% question of prelims from their test series

@Howzthejosh Usually Insights and Baba are in a frenzy. But feels like after seeing the paper they have a certain part of their body in their mouth. They are devising new strategies on how to acquire students next year.
