This year, Shankar is gonna be so wrong. .. Cutoff will be 

Gen =92-95

EWS= 89-92

OBC= 90-93

SC= 78-82

ST= 73-78

actually it will be higher than shankar's prediction.  they have seriously underestimated how high people are scoring this year

There are always some people, who score way higher .. I am an ST candidate, serving in State services , giving prelims since 2012, cleared prelims 5 times, appeared in PT 3 times. You must have been undergrad, or in high school by then. Trust me when I say, the cutoff won’t go higher this year than what i quoted earlier

ignoring your condescending tone, why dont you check out some of the polls? there are not just "some" people scoring high, its way too many.  This year's options were set up in such a manner that anyone taking so called obvious guesses (typical prelims tricks) is scoring high.

For proof, u can check out polls. Even polls of reputed institutes like insights say almost 4-5k  people above 105 in a sample of 20k, so you can do the math.

Now an experienced candidate like you will argue that polls are filled with fake scores, or insights is not a reputed institute, so go ahead believe what you want.

Also, coaching institutes 1. have an achor bias to previous year cutoffs, they are particularly scared to go higher.  they may go lower when papeer is more difficult, but they tend to not go higher as seen in 2016 (compared to 2015). 2. lower cutoffs= more test series sold.

obviously above points are disputed. But this is the most objective way to look at it

Tougher paper, lesser appearing candidates and yet cutoff going higher. Yes that's strong logic right there. 


only non-serious candidates dont appear, serious ones won't skip for the fear of corona or anything else (majority of them)

Are you really that smoothbrained to think that there won't be any drop in cutoff even though turnouts have been 50 60% of normal? Ah man. Its sad

Every year only about 50% people appear of the total registered. Similar this year, of course lesser than previous years but not 50-60% less. You can satisfy your ego with  whatever you like, but majority (not all) serious candidates who have prepared hard won't skip for the fear of covid. Its sad that your "smoothbrain" cant apply simple logic.

Did any institute claimed 70% question of prelims from their test series 

@Howzthejosh Usually Insights and Baba are in a frenzy. But feels like after seeing the paper they have a certain part of their body in their mouth. They are devising new strategies on how to acquire students next year.


like predicting ridiculously low cutoffs.

Stop chimping mate. I have seen qualified candidates who made it to services skip this year coz covid. Most upsc aspirants who have a good enough job as in sebi, nabard, rbi, or in state admin didn't appear in the swathes they normally do


Further, your puny ass might have been predicting 105 cutoffs in 2019, 110 cutoffs in 2018, but all of that mattered prolly as much as zilch. 

Tougher exams automatically translates to lower cutoffs. If your simpleton brain doesn't comprehend this, I doubt you are passing the CSAT paper anyways.

whatever helps your "puny ass" sleep buddy
