[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?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
Cut off will be 92(+-2). Said this on day 1. Continuing the same till date.
Every time a tough paper has happened marks have collapsed by 6 7 marks minimum. And this is not even taking covid into account.
Absurd for people to forget 2016 ->2017 transition and 2017->18 transition.
Its not gonna be 95. Last time consensus was at 101, it fell to 98, that too with ews, which means in a normal case the cutoff might have been down to 96 or 97.
So anyone above 90 has a decent chance. A lot of 100s have taken rakhmabai and desher katha as 123, a lot of 100s have preamble as A and have taken gandhi irwin marks (which logically will be dropped 99.99%)
i would rather say a 92 93 guy who hasn't included such cheap marks has a better probability to convert than a 100+ guy with such dirty marks.
And well, last time I know people who were having scores in 90s, and had given up who made it to final list. So yeah, stop seeking validity. If are 90+ just study and inshallah!
Cut off can't go more than 93. At least 5 marks dip had to be there.
Calculate marks by shankar or insights or vision. Even if u r dead sure it has given a wrong answer take it as such...if getting more than 92 High chances u will clear.
Was this paper harder than 2018? If yes, how much?
I found it harder than 2018.

Yes 2020 was tougher.
My 2 cents with regards to cutoff
Last year (2019) Everyone knew the cutoff was going to be 95-104 , thats A range of around 10 marks, Shankar ias prediction was 99-102 i.e. A range of 4 marks. In short they covered the 40% range of probable cutoff and still got it wrong😂
which factors can lead to increase in Cut off this year
Decrease in vacancies - Yes
Tukkafication - No!!! There were many questions the answers to which was not a simple D. Also in 2018,2019 you had similar Dfication sentiments running around
which Factors can lead to decrease in cutoff
1.The toughest csat in recent history . According to a survey 46% of students are either failing or in borderline in paper 2
2. Lack of sheer number of absolute sitters.
3. Almost 2/3rd of Questions had multiple statements . People didnt had the luxury of time in this paper
4. Inflation - People despite getting a 100% conformity that their answer is not the best answer are still counting the marks for that question. This leads to overall inflation in market
5. Last year 40% of people on Telegram posted their scores tobe above 100 , the sample was 12000 votes. This year 40% of people on telegram claiming their score to be above 95
The overall cutoff has to be - 95 (+-1)
What is borderline case in csat....?? Even a person with 80 is also borderline...since noone is sure of passages
After reading those articles shared by aurang you will be dead sure of the passage answers
@Equalizer by vision 92.2 general category in same situation taking all doubtful as wrong
Hopefully u will be in.

Those who have cleared csat previously and has attempted sufficient number of questions...just don't calculate Ur marks..
also answer to those RC should be based on comprehension only and not on the whole original article.

I hope you are right but after reading those articles I have little hope left that answer will be changed when ditto verbatim is lifted. I checked previous year csat passage questions also upsc have some answers which are not directly relevant to the passage may be it was written on that article where it was lifted from.
Achaaaa,
