@bhuvanamalar1015412 In 2018, in this same forum blog, we were all discussing about the toughness and different pattern in the paper compared to previous years. Many were expecting the cutoff to be 90 and not more than that. But in the end the cutoff was 98. Whatever the toughness or difficultly, somehow people will get 90+ through luck or hardwork. Don’t expect cutoff to get below 90 in this competition era and decreasing amount of vacancies. If one is sure of getting less than 85, he/she should relinquish the hopes of clearing pre


In the same forum, people were discussing cutoff to be more than 100 last year and it went down to 92. The thing is everyone is inflating score by taking that key which is giving them maximum marks and then counting those positive which they find it here and there. Remove these 9-10 answers and surely most will come down to below 90. So everyone who is getting 80-100 is safe and unsafe at the same time and should continue studies. 5 questions in your favor and your score will go up by 13 marks from 82 to 95. 

reminded me of Shrodingers Cat experiment. The Box will open in a week, and only then we will know which kitties are alive and which are dead. Till then, as you said, safe and unsafe at the same time.

This year I have 82.67 from vision key . EWS category. 

This wait is excruciating 

Comfortably In I guess. Only General and OBC will be in prime danger for this much. I guess tough csat will make sure that ews cutoff will be the same 2020 level low compared to general.

@kohliwagBrother... can we add 1. copper smelting as (d) and 2. magnetite as (d) in score as per UPSC PYQ trend and answer key? -- or still these are in doubtful stage


They were not doubtful.Co is lethal even at low quantities infact in any mining operation the chance is there,and qstn uses the word may too

@chikuiasbano Can't see any reason for you to be worried. You would certainly be above 95. Start preparing for mains.

You can in the last para of mitakshra. They can be coparceners after 2005 amendment. 


And also statement 3 is about properties held by man or a woman and how is it talking about inheritance rights of women ?

Cutoff will be between 90-94.

Afterall they need only 3600 ppl who's answers match with their key. Almost everyone is around 85.

It's not that everyone is around 85 rather only those who r above 85(general) are cmntng here due to anxiety of unknown.one who gets above 100 won't discuss here,same with those who gets below 80.

Cutoff will be less than 90.

Have cleared 5 consecutive prelims, this one is the last attempt.

Many friends, who used to score 120+, are getting in 80s.

So, don't be surprised, if cutoff drops to something like 85-86.
