@vamgaduattempt is made to equate papers, and common scores are arrived at. For instance,if in an easy maths paper top five percentile score between 380-400, and in difficult history paper top five percentile score between 280-300, the equal percentile groups between optionals are equated. In the above example, the scores of math candidate is lowered, where as the scores of history candidates is upscaled. So that the top five percentile in both history and math are in the same range. That is why, generally, toppers in each subjects have their scores in the range 300-330(barring a few aberrations), irrespective of difficulty level of the paper. The final scores in optional are not your actual scores but scaled ones.
@sat_009suppose if one had maths as the optional, raw scores of paper1 =220, paper2= 110. Total =330. On applying scaling based on whatever statistical formula UPSC uses, paper 1 may reduce to 180,paper2 to 90. Making final total 270
@AzadHindFauzis this the inside info?
The cat website documents show that order is reserved for 7/1/2020.
@mannemvasukinandan701!how to attach image file here? I'm unable to do. The cat case proceedings status of the satabdi mazumdar case is mentioned as - Last action "order reserved". There is no next listing date.
However, there's is separate document which mentions 7/1/2020 as the next date of this case and all other cases tied up with this.

@RaufNawritten submission may be submitted today
@WelcomeHomeFrank150 less for sure. There will be no railway services. IRMS recruitment will be separate from cse and will start from 2021. There will be no recruitment to railway through any exam in 2020. Syllabus and format for Irms will be announced this year(2020) for 2021. Non tech Irms will most likely be held in manner similar to ifos. Common prelims with cse but a separate mains conducted by UPSC. From 2021 onwards cse aspirants will have an additional opportunity of Irms along with cse.
The 180 ias and 150 ips recruitment which began in 2013 will end with cse2019. Govt has to take fresh decision on that. No fresh news on that yet. The ias plus ips vacancy which was 3000 in 2013 now stands at 1400 ias and 900 ips. So, my guess is that the govt may continue with 180 and 150 for some more years until the deficit is bridged.
