How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
The forum is so quiet ...
Atleast no nonsense utterances take place here as on tele group... utterly low level texts are posted there.. I don't feel like opening tele now...
Experts may please shed some light on expected mains cut off this year.. how did you find as compared to 2019/2020 paper...
Mujhe toh 2019 nd 2021 ke gs papers similar pattern ke lage .
when can a person expect interview call?
if across 4 gs papers marks are average and no question left. and essay is above average and 1 optional paper has become an issue due to time shortage. is there anyone who could get interview call when they least expected them to. what are the parameters to judge oneself regarding interview call.
@Declared_Dead which group?
Post mains group

The word average for gs papers is very subjective..
Due u regard 90 as an average score in gs.??
If so.. u would score around 360+130+250.. around 740.. a decent score in my opinion.. anyone getting around 720+ may hope for personality test call..

Wrote last three mains and in my opinion-
GS-1= almost same level as 2019 but easier than 2020
GS-2= Easier than 2019 but tougher than 2020
GS-3= Easier than 2019 same as 2020
GS-4= Tougher than 2019 easier than 2020
I think cutoff should be little more than 2020 if marking pattern remained same.
@Declared_Dead i have given forumias mocks.in the papers from gs 1 to 3, score was 85-88 with i think leaving1 q 10 or 15 marker. gs 4 i was in top 20. marks were 98. so i have kept that as my base. i have given only 4 papers. rest i have given elsewhere. in final exam, no q was left. and i dont think ive particularly messed up ( i havent seen any solutions videos etc).by messed up i mean, demand fulfilled in all qs to best possible extent,vague questions also answered but not accurately, all questions in IBC format
Lets hope for the best..
I think you should make it to the list if optionals went decent enough...

Please also factor in essay paper..
Based on what I could understand from the tg group yesterday.. the insiders said that in essay many are getting marks in double digits.. number of such candidates is more this year...
Also gs3 marking is a bit strict..
These may be speculations but considering the authenticity of the info they gave in the past..it seems to be true..
I think cut off should hover around as last year.. slightly on the lower side though
