Hello Friends,

You might be calculating your score based on Answer keys available from different different institutions.

Here are some points to remember
1. These answer keys are not Full proof, there might be deviations.

2. If your score is Really Good, then just relax for a day or 2. And Start Mains Preparation. We have very less time this year. do not waste time.

3. You need to perform RELATIVELY... So, the Cut off predictions will be more clear only if performance adequate sample space is analyzed.
So, plz do not jump to conclusions Yet.

4. If some of you have Low scores, then DO NOT GIVE UP.
The Final Picture will be more clear in Next 2-3 days. As I said, it's just relative performance that matters.

Wishing you all the Best.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Hello friends, thank you for voting.

First of all Congratulations to those having comfortable score and Wishing you all the Best for Mains.

As always, this year Paper 1 was also bit unpredictable. We can see changes in focus areas.

I have done a short video regarding this and expected cut-off.

Plz Don't forget to subcribe. We are coming up with Mains related promising Videos on YouTube.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdlxihSZUMY

Those, who are getting Scores above 85, should Start immediate preparation of Mains.

There are many deviations in Actual answer key of UPSC and Other Private Keys...
Discrepancy in just 3 Qs will amount to 8 Marks Up and Down.

So, even if your score is 85+, Do not Loose Hope, start Preparing for Mians 2020.

If you waste next 1 Month, then there will be no meaning to writing Mains. You will be out of competition for this year...

So, students Start Mains Preparation immediately.

We wish you all the Best... and get in touch in case of any queries regarding Mains.

Note : Above discussion is with reference to Genaral Cataegory Merit.
The cut-offs for Reserved categories would definitely be Less.

Friends, If your score is less, do not get saddened.

Ups and Downs is Part and Parcel of this Process.
Just remember, Your ULTIMATE GOAL Matters. Nothing Matters... and one failure in Prelims, is NOT and Should NOT decide your destiny...

If not this year, it's alright.
But, now is the Time to make sure, you don't miss anything Next Year. All three Stages - Pre - Mains and Interview are cleared in ONE GO.
