@morty last year except 1-2people all were expecting cutoff to be between 95-99.... This year most are saying it to be 88-92


They would claim cutoff based on previous year.no one could predict it accurately.as last year cutoff was 92 everyone predicts in that range this year .

Last year score of maximum people got reduced like those who were scoring 110 got 95. If that's the case then is it possible that only those who are scoring above 100 will qualify this year since score will decrease like last year?

I've heard last year too people were talking about how tough the prelims paper 1 was, and speculated cutoff to be 90 plus minus 2. But in the end, it was on a higher side (if we consider 1-2 qns were removed). So how true are these discussions and predictions by the institutes.

Also, are people really seeing a drop of 15-20 marks as compared to their last year's marks?

I am so confused what to believe and what not to. Are there people who are scoring really good marks and keeping silence? (I hope this isn't true :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:)

Obviously things will be a bit clear once the result is out. But can someone with a little experience give his/her views on this?

For your second point, i suppose both are True! Some ppl are scoring 15 to 20 marks lesser (as per this thread) and some are easily scoring 100+ (as per poll) 

100 according to coaching keys.last year everyone was scoring beyond 100 but cutoff was 92.only those who get above 85 are participating in polls.its unreliable

oh I see, i too wish a lower cut off, gone are the days one can surely say in or out

@leftfaithinmyself i think our own research like books and internet etc. should be the source of marks calculation.

PS- I don’t think cut off is going to cross 88, that’s the maximum in my opinion. Have given attempts since 2015, cleared all Pre and gave 2 interviews. This was the toughest prelims in my opinion. Highest I have scored was 151 and lowest was 116 till now. Sharing to back up my analysis. All the best guys.
