Likely Cut-offs-

As mentioned in the notification, the candidates need to secure minimum qualifying marks in each component of Paper-I (GK & Current Affairs, English and Hindi). On the basis of it, the second Paper will be evaluated. As per the feedback from the examinees, the paper was moderate while a majority said that the papers were easily.

Considering these, the likely cut-off of the Paper – I would be between 85 and 95 out of 150. The cut-off for the Paper-II is likely to be between 100 and 110 out of 200.
