Combined cut off has really helped a lot.. Thanks to UPSC… cutoff seems well in reach if one can score 155 to 160 in paper 2 … and which is easily possible if one join any CAT preparation institute..it has been a boon for many of us.. N thanks for pasting this invaluable piece of info..
This is really surprising. Glad to see the key from UPSC itself!!
Sir I am obc candidate and my ias cut-off 175 tab ias pt 2012 selection give me sum sujetion

Manmod, if u have got 175 u will clear.
Plz suggest expected cutoff for 2012 prelims. for general categoy. I belong to gen. category & my score is b/w 170-175; is there any chance of me clearing pre??
Devashish,
Cut off is expected to be 185-195. Keep preparing, sometimes luck can favour u
Yep.. cutoff is more of a relative term… depends whr others are lying.. if major fall in dis bracket.. God willing u wl defnitely get a call..
my upsc pt marks is expected to 210.i belong to GC.DO UPSC HAve paperwise cutoff if then what individual paper cut off?plz give me answer as early as possible.
Prem, no one actually sure about this question.. if you belive this copy of rti thn thr was combined cutoff.. that is someone from IIM scores 170 in aptitude has to score just 30 in GS (15 questions ) .. any given day any graduate from India can do 15 to 20 questions in GS( i hav frens wd such a score) .. so that will make process BIAS.. n ot os d way things are.. so dont worry..
