[ Official ] How was the Prelims 2021 paper?
How was the paper guys ?
@BhallaRobert 89-91
I feel the same. 89+-1
kohliwag,
@BhallaRobert Scores were scaled to 200. So, effectively 92.57 meant 90.7 out of 196. (92.57*196/200). Thus, even if you add 2 marks cutoff would have been more or less the same. Expect it to be in the 90-92 band this year as well.
correct.

85 to 88
@BhallaRobert i think anybody scoring 90+ with this key will sail through. 2-3 questikn will be right or wrong in upsc answer key from this one but scores will remain more or less same
Many who got 106 barely sailed through prelims last year.

It depends on their attempts in qstns where ans key differs.

I was getting 95 from vision and i got in. My final score was 92.51
balwintejas,@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
Yes. But same time we saw many candidates who were scoring 110+ Last year or years before that. This time we are hardly seeing that.
Even last year the expected cutoff marks was 95 ( some claimed cutoff eill never fall below 100 and finally it was 92.51.. ) . This was when most of the elimination/tukka tricks were working.
This year even that failed… Hardly so called tukka rules were successful
lets see what happens this year but in no world it will go beyond 95 for me.. most probably 89-90

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.

Which key?

I m obc candidate and that's why I have slight hopes yet.i do predicted it to be 85 to 88 for gen not below.crushed hopes is not due to cutoff but due to wrong ans key
