GS - 390, Essay -140 and Optionals - 250 = 780 (+ or - 15).
Will it take us close to list?

Agreed. But, it's not my score?
Just want to know bunch of people opinion on expected cut off.

No much discussion on Geography optionals. Seems like all are happy with their performance?

Anyone in Geography expecting more than 280 this time.
I'm expecting around 250 only - will be very happy with that. Put your expected marks below.

@Scorpion888Paper 1 is bit difficult this time - we may get 10-15 marks more if it is scaled properly

Below is just one more possible way. It may not work for all.

420 is possible in GS papers, 100-105 in 1st 3 GS papers and 115-120 in ethics – because it is the easiest paper which can really fetch good marks if someone done well.
And 135 in Essay that takes score to 555. Now lets see Optionals -

Case 1: UR – Need to score around 260, then total would be 815
Case 2: OBC – 225 is also fine, that takes their score to 780. But if they want IAS, then need to score around 240 in optionals and little more in eassy.

@vvvikas0078212Ha bhai mera hope to GS + Eassy hai. I won't get more than 240 in optionals, if not scaled.

@Asli_hai_sabWay I told may be difficult, but not impossible.
Sure, I will prepare if I won't get :). Nothing is wrong there

@132_SIDAgree Bhai. But, If we check toppers marks, they are getting 560 to 580 in GS +Essay. Then, cannot we try for 550. Is it impossible?

@132_SIDReally hard to wait for results for 75 days?
Daily we do some experiment with predictions

There is no major difference between GS or Optionals as long as we address the demand of question with valid and relavant content.
