Finally, UPSC has declared the result for CSAT-prelim-2013 (for both IAS and IFS). Earlier The result system was= you enter your roll number and the UPSC website would tell you whether you’ve passed or not. But this time, UPSC adopted the desi method (uploaded PDF file that contains big list of roll numbers)
I’m uploading the same PDF files on google docs (because UPSC server will become slow as hell for a few days). click on the following links:
- Result: IAS/IPS/Civil Service candidates: click me to see result (~15000 selected)
- Result: IFS candidates: click me to see result (~1000 selected)
- Forgot roll number?Click me but you’ll need registration id
@Those who didn’t qualify
Try again next year with full strength, rectifying whatever shortcomings you had in your preparation. And if this was your last attempt, then my best wishes for all your future endeavors.
Back in 2010, a lady from Chennai committed suicide for failing in prelims, Even in CSE-2012 a guy from Banglore committed suicide. Please remember that setbacks and success will come but life is more precious than one exam, government job, girlfriend, boyfriend or (temporary) nagging of parents/relatives.
I take the liberty of copy pasting a few paragraphs from Mr.Tirumala’s blogspot:
//Start of copypaste//
When I started (UPSC preparation), I always dreamt about what I would do once I am a civil servant. I failed the first time. That’s when things changed. Thereafter, I was more concerned about how to clear this exam than about what I would do once I become a civil servant. The question as to ‘why’ I wanted to be a civil servant was relegated to some back corner of my mind. It was the exam and it was me. Years rolled by. Until this happened. I was too old for this exam and out of attempts.
(So) I am back in industry. My career is progressing well. Biwi and baby are fine. Life has changed. Priorities have changed. And I am moving on.
The job, the workload, project deadlines, cafeteria, cubicle, bitching about the HR policies and the wait for the next weekend. It’s all there. However, there’s one difference. I had the courage to risk it all. I once did. I lost the bet. And I know that I have the courage to build my dreams once more. Brick by brick, I will build. I believe this is my takeaway from this exam, where I didn’t, ‘qualify’…….I spent a lot of time wondering why I didn’t make it to civil services. I thought I will carry the burden of this failure all my life and will never get over this….That’s not so. I moved on, (and) quite well to my own surprise, I must say. In retrospect it looks so stupid of me to even think that I failed. I now look back with a smile…It must have been fun while it lasted. I now work in the field of aerospace with one of the biggest aeroplane makers in world, and I am proud to be an engineer.

First of all we shd hv full trust in constitutional body like upsc , so there is no questn of biased with particular individual . I thnk upsc is comcompletly impartial and has no ill will or favouritism for any individual but at the same time upsc needs to be more transparent by way of uploading omr sheet and answer key so that v can come to know our weakness/ mistake. Once individual score is uploaded I think most of the doubts are cleared automatically. V all commit human error in the exam hall and this makes the difference.u often feel that v r right but end up at recvng hand.so blame game contiues and at last v came 2 knw our mistakes by the time lots of time has passed. It happend with me last yr, I ws vry confident of clerng prelms but cdnt so blamed upsc but once answer keys and score uploaded I came to know my silly mistakes/ human error and I missed by hair lline.this yr 2 though I scored/presumpted 235 , missed it.i thnk I mudt hv cmmtd .mistake, I cn feel the pain of those who dint make it, in fact I m shocked but this is fact and I m more than willng 2 accpt it. I take a vow that I wl nt leave any stone unturned including human error, plz dont lose hrt, hard work pays thogh lately but deginitely, all the best to all of u for future endeavour and cngrts to those in the list,

Really Touching Video
I failed too. This is my second attempt. I was getting around 225.
But I must say this exam becomes very difficult to crack due to huge participation of IITians,Engineers & doctors and school toppers. There is very less chnace of selection for ordinary people.
Guys think 100 times of your economical,mental condtions before starting your preaparation.
you are right
Oh you are so right. So u agree that people like you are only fit to eat leftovers from doctors/engg/iitians. Wow!! Well actually an IITian refused to work as my janitor – interested in applying? I’ll put a word of reference for you? :P :D
Dumb idiot – do u expect UPSC to appount u just because you applied for the post?
Itni Jaldi Haar Maan gaye Janab !!
Nahi Bhai.. Jo sach he wahi bataya he mene..
Dost…these r pure misconceptions…iitians etc hav d same genes as u do…infact I think its tougher for an iitian/iim guy to crack given d bettr jobs dey r offered…humare tarah fight for survival nahi kar rahe hain woh…:D…so we hav a mental edge…I m not frm ny f dose elite instts bt I crackd d frst step..my first attempt pretty easy paper compared to earlier years..plz work hardr…n shed this attitude…its f no use to u only will bog u down…
You are right brother, Darwins Theory : Survival of the Fittest… And the one who makes himself fit only survives…
& yes, It doesn’t matter what had been your past, MAKE REST OF YOUR LIFE BEST OF YOUR LIFE…
dude these “iitians engineers and doctors” u mentioned r not superhumans …they clear the exams only because of their hardwork..not because of some magic genes that they inherited..
and moreover not all “iitians engineers and doctors” clear upsc….

So be in the game to win the game.Have some back up plan .
Remember life does not end here ..its more than cracking IAS xam ..though i also failed but m optimistic no matters what my destiny and luck says.
Watch some good motivational movies.
reshu dnt get emotional abt this exam. this is the bad thing abt this exam that a person attaches too much emotions to it, thinking and dreaming abt becoming an ias. this is the curse. take it like any other exam nthngelse.just be cool abt it. i cudnt cleared this time as this was y last attempt, and last time i missed by 2 marks.thats what destiny is, just be focussed and be better next time thats it.
padte raho ,practice karte raho …and ho jayega…
i am sure that cuttoff for IFs is higher then IAS…why??? can any one explain…most of the candidate shortlisted for IFS, also shortlisted for IAS…..now thr z only 1065 aspirant going to write ifs mains….but most of them will left ifs mains due to prp for ias….so wat about IFS???thr z very short no of candidate …who will face real ifs comptition……hahahahah UPSC!!!!
yeah !! i was preparing for IFS bt nw this pre made me a candidate of cs ……….
hmmm dear…..luck by chance or…chance by luck!!!do hard now…n be ias…gud luck….but i think worst policy by upsc!!!! sp for IFS aspirnt!!!!!!
IFoS cutoff higher because vacancies are less(around 75-100)comparing to civil services (around 1000). If we go through both the list one thing is clear, all those who have cleared IFoS is there in civil list as well. So its certain that IFoS cutoff is higher than civils
hi
Hi :D
guys its one of the awesomest day of my life….cleared upsc prelims..
don’t forget. you have just filtered. now you have to compete with the actual ones
yup i know yr
thanx manoj for re-uploading it . i hope it helps!!!
UPSC should hire directly from IIT and IIM and save all the trouble. Coz present Pre exam is anti-hindi(psychological disadvantage) and anti-women(only tokenism) i am sure a lot of women candidates failed this time(good comprehension skill but bad mathematical skill.
No CIVIL SERVICES IS NOT HINDI. In Fact it requires you to know more than one language. Any way english will be required for day to day administration. If you don’t know english just learn it, any way you will have to do it. moreover once a cadre is allocated you will be busy learning regional language.
An interesting thing that happened last year mains pub. ad. few questions had substantial french and german words. but hindi translated questions bailed me out. moreover it is the only language other than english in which questions are translated, great for north indians.
Merit in recruitment is necessary,those who top the exam do not deserve to be there. The real bright are not even in the race ( same with boys but to a lesser extant). It`s the parent`s who needs to be blamed in case of women they do not allow girls to live in big cities where study environment and knowledge market is present and those girls who start to get hold of the subject matter are been married in there 22-25 year age . UPSC is doing what it can do through “tokenism”.
Who said women has bad mathematical skill its just a misconception, in the paper-2 there was less then 5% mathematical reasoning, and rest is analytical reasoning i.e. you don’t need to know even a single formula to solve almost entire paper. I solved both csat papers(2012, this year)without any practice, not even for one day and i am not a engineer.
It will be better you people concentrate on GS rather than Csat part. say for example – 70+170 = pass or 120+ 120 = pass. and this 120 in gs will help you in mains as well.
So for all those who did not qualified please feel as if you did and prepare for mains as you would have done in the other case. do join test series,ect. This will he help you a lot for next year.when you will qualify (PRE.) next year you will be ready for mains next year or else half of you will waste your next 6-7 months and rest will become very good at qualifying preliminary but no means to clear mains.
Though i have qualified, was scoring 260+. But, it is true that UPSC is anti-hindi. UPSC has gone elitist. Paper 2 is a cakewalk for those who prepare for IIT JEE and earlier AIEEE. I am also and engineer, and prepared successfully for these exams. Despite that, i would say present paper 2 is hugely biased in favor of english speaking and engineering students. Those who prepared successfully for JEE and AIEEE will score 165+ in this paper in their sleep. plus, 20 questions in science in GS-1 is easy meat for them. Apart from some other logical analysis (which these people always do) in many questions, if anybody with such a background studies only a bit, could score 70+ marks in GS-1. And with a bit sincerity can easily qualify the prelims. Whereas, arts+hindi medium background students, the traditional IAS aspirants, have been made a 2nd class citizen in this exam. Shame on UPSC for this. Though, considering changes in Mains pattern, these so called superstars of GS-2, will flop in the GS papers of mains. Only those among them who genuinely have aptitude to understand the problems of country and culture will qualify. SO in a nutshell, UPSC is recruiting top brains(qualified to be rocket scientist) but having social and arts subject attitude. It easier to say to do 120+120, but practically difficult. And y give ad to IIT nd NIT students who can score 180 in paper 2 easily needing only 65 in paper 1?
If IITians are using their skills why not arts guys use their skills and score more in GS1…eng students have skills and arts guys dont … they are good for nothing
just shut up ….. u r talking totally absurd ….. you don’t know that general studies has no limits …. it is beyond the limits …. whereas maths and aptitude questions are limited in diversity …. upsc has given undue weightage to aptitude questions …. there one question carries 2.5 marks … whereas GS question carries 2 marks …. only maths and english is not the aptitude needed for administration. by this pattern some engineers get entry in mains who don’t know abc of even constitution ….. and they perform badly in mains ….. it dilutes the competition of mains which is the real test …….. engineers just know maths … and nothing more …. whereas humanities students r all rounder ….. they know the problems of society which is essential for an administrator ….. even LBSNAA has criticized this pattern and they r saying ‘” ye UPSC kya gadhe gadhe logo ko bhej rahi h ” so just shut up ….. this upsc pattern has ruined the career of many serious aspirants who have interview 3 times earlier ……
U cry foul – when you aren’t able to solve all 80 questions in the allotted time, u cry foul if others do it and leave you back. What do you really want? Should UPSC serve the posting on a platter?
Hi friends,
I m some way agree with Amit. Because, it is quite clear from the gradual increase in cut off of prelims and gradual reduction in cut off in mains exam of civil services examination. I was graduated fro IIT Bombay in 1984(19 years back). Today I m a bureaucrat in state cadre in a northern state and every year I look at the cse papers with my interest. But i m very surprised to tell u all, that UPSC is gradually on a way of colonial attitude biasing towards the rich.If a person of my age (45+) can score 170+ in the second paper of CSAT-2013, then u imagine, what a student who is preparing or selected in IIMs can score. So where is the balance ??? To become a civil servant ,u need a service attitude, knowledge with a broad out look and definitely a minimum level of aptitude is essential but its illogical when some one is selected in the screening process by virtue of his aptitude and intelligence only. The preliminary process was inculcated in order to weed out non serious candidates from the race. but from 2011 it has somehow become a process to weed out serious candidates….
this is the pity with the system.
Dear sir,
Many of my friends who are all very serious candidates have failed in Prelims. Since introduction of CSAT have made some non serious students to enter in to mains where as many serious candidates not getting chance.
Yes thats true. I hv interacted with a no. of students and i surprisingly found that they have scored good in the 1st paper even much more than the students who clear the pre. for example a student has expected 124 in 1st paper and 97 in 2nd paper and he is disqualified. but another students has expected 60 in 1st paper and 181 in 2nd paper and he is selected for the mains. so now imagine who is a better candidate for cse? who has balanced knowledge? that is the reason why the cut off marks of mains has been decreasing years after years since 2011. it will be better ,if there sld be a cut off mark in 1st paper which ll demand a minimum level of knowledge from a civil servant aspirant and those who qualify in the 1st paper , then there 2nd paper ll be evaluated and the selection in prelims will be based on the total of marks in both the papers. it ll be a balance approach to select genuine students and it will bring proper justice to the students who are seriously preparing for the civil services examination ,rather than those who just appear the preliminary on the basis of their intelligence only….
I really feel sorry for those people with around 100+ marks in p1 but couldn’t clear prelims because of p2.I scored 85+160(apprx) and could clear.Now,I don’t know if you people consider me “serious candidate” or not.
(Forgive me if I am wrong)UPSC is not obliged to make question paper to satisfy people from all educational backgrounds.Now,If you are aiming for one of the top positions in the country then you must have solid aptitude.This exam (as far my understanding goes) in current situation is evaluating a)your view on several issues b)your actual understanding of the situation—>This is what the p2 is doing.And to evaluate your subjective views on issues I don’t think an objective paper like p1 can do it effectively.So,however best the examiner tries to check your understanding of concepts in an objective paper he ends up giving questions based on information gathering which in present days is “click” away from you.So, no point testing your information.As I don’t need to say,Mains paper is just for you to express your subjective views.
But I believe that aptitude is more necessary for various jobs today than mere information.Because every information is easily available on net.Reading that information and understanding the central theme is what is required of any person.
All I am saying is that this way of evaluation is not so bad and wrong as many of you seem to be saying.
u said – ” for the top positions in the country we must have solid aptitude ” … that means all the bureaucrats who cleared this exam before 2011 do not deserve to be civil servants, and it is a miracle that some of those bureaurats are doing good work today ???
and is aptitude more important than temperament/patience etc in administration (all of which are indirectly tested by GS) ???
in 2012 the apti paper was fine…but in 2013 bcoz of its low difficulty the apti paper appears to be much more important than the GS paper…GS requires a lot of hardwork…even an increment of 10-15 marks in GS may be equivalent to months of hard work…but if the apti paper is easy then those giving cat etc score astronomical marks thereby easily compensating for months of hard work put in GS by serious candidates…
u say that p2 is evaluating our understanding…that means there is no understanding involved in GS ??? do u mean to say people memorise (without understanding) the following
– concepts in geography (coriolis force, upwelling, monsoon , etc. ),
– concepts in economics ( reasons for the widening of fiscal and current account deficits
; sterilization of the economy ; why there is diagreement b/w various
nations at WTO ; etc )
– ideas/views in polity (why india is a democratic and republic ; why indian constitution
has a unitary bias ; is judicial activism good or not ? ; idea behind the 5th and 6th
schedules )
– various concepts in Sc tech and envt (what is genetic engineering ; difference b/w
geosynchronous and geostationary satellites ; how does a biogas reactor work ; how does a
catalytic converter work ; how does a GPS work ; what is hydraulic fracturing ; etc )
u say information is a click away…u think people can memorise all the info from here and there and write good answers ????? u mean to say no understanding or processing is required ???? do u even think it is humanly possible ??? people gather info , process it, compress it after understanding and only then write answers…
i agree with u that – upsc is not obliged to satisfy ppl from all backgrounds, & also that this way of evaluation is not wrong/bad…
the problem is that there is a lack of consistency…sometimes apti paper is balanced and GS is the deciding factor…next year apti paper is very easy and so it becomes the deciding factor…
if apti is the most important attribute upsc is looking for then it must atleast maintain this trend consistently…no problem…non-engineers, arts students and non-IIM passouts will focus more on apti to reach their level…this clarity and consistency should be present or else luck will always be the spoilsport…
i think ur view is wrong, because the mahts is just logic it is not complex
u are very superficial general
what?????
who said women can’t do maths??(in fact it’s ‘people’ who can’t do maths, maths has no problems with sexes!!)
and who said that it’s anti-hindi?
take the exam yourself first and then speak,sir!!
@ALL- Thats why UPSC has to backtrack 100 marks english compulsory from essay paper. And about women candidates your argument is spirited and enthusiatic but statistically untenable I will file an RTI about women candidates and if possible HIndi medium candidates qualifying pre 2013.
Spare a thought for other regional languages. No proper notes, no coaching, Question paper not in their language. No doubt they find it tough and they find the world is not FLAT!!
Please do not extra-polate it to a language fight.
Thanks
@Raj I am not extrapolating it into a language fight, but pls have a closer look who constitute hindi+women=arts+social science+moderate aptitute(not astronomical)who may not necessarily make bad administrator. now someone put it very apt, they have been reduced to second rate citizen. Where is the balance and diversity?
Please stop subscribing to these stereotypes and misconceptions about what women can do or cannot do. I am a woman,and I have cleared prelims in my first attempt. Only hardwork is required. there is no “inherent” weakness in women regarding mathematical or any other skill for that matter. I suggest you change your attitude asap, i am pretty sure you are a upsc aspirant, and trust me, upsc will not appreciate such a sexist and derogatory attitude. And even otherwise, forget about upsc, it is attitudes like yours which perpetuate oppression and discrimination against women in India and all over the world too.
@S.Das-Marie Antoinette replied, On being told that the people had no bread to eat,”Let them eat cake.” No wonder she represented the elite class. Well, congrats you cleared, but it is not about you. Nobody here is a spokesperson for women, but statistics is a fact. Thats why I mentioned I will file an RTI with respect to that only to cofirm that lesser number of women candidates are clearing after the new CSAT. And I have nothing against IIT+IIM people they represent a particular class, which have a distinct advantage if the paper is not balanced which gives them leverage in the initial stage itself, and no it is not about survival of the fittest, it is about systemic bais(might be unintentional)but if in a pre exam if one paper is going to decide the outcome then whats the use(this explains low cut-offs in mains, coz it has already eliminated serious candidates-not all,but quite significant number). I dont know why u went ballastic,the remark being derogatory and sexist,infact women in a feudal society tend to be patriarchal and support the status-quo as if nothing is wrong…
Its a fact that there are less women in the services than men, but taht is because of the discrimination they face all through their lives due to societal norms and unequal access to resources and opportunities, not because they are genetically bad at maths or reasoning. Please shed these age old stereotypes, someone appearing to be so knowledgeable about patriarchy should not adhere to patriarchal stereotypes himself/herself.
And just for additional info, I know many people from NON-IIT/IIM , Arts background who have cleared the exam(I myself am from one such background) . Again,you may say that statistically, there are more engineers than arts people who clear the exam. that is not due to some bias against arts people, but simply because there are more engineers giving the exam these days than Arts people. I think it would be more beneficial if one focussed on one’s own preparation and the lacunae in it, and try to rectify them next time, rather than indulging in frivolous arguments such as women or arts people are not good in maths or reasoning. Its just giving credit to IIM IIT people where none is due. UPSC is a level playing field. Its we who have to pull out all stops in order to clear it, whatever our background may be.
What is wrong with IIT and IIM guys, in fact we need such people in the government. Whatever syllabus the UPSC sets, i am sure these guys would get thru. Remember, these guys have slogged through their entire school and college life, and others should stop cribbing and really have to up their game to beat these guys…After all it is survival of the fittest!!!
no it is not the case ….. actually extra weightage is given to aptitude questions ….. there a single question carries 2.5 marks whereas in GS it is 2 marks …… total imbalance
Sun bhai….dimaag se ek galat fahmi nikaal de ki arts wale tez hote hain… dekh yaar juntaa hansegii tere par…koi grudge nahi hai tere se magar abhi engineers ki baraabri karna humanities waalon ki baat nahi….koi aisa curriculum bata jahaan chaar saal mein 70 se jyada papaers hon…rahii baat social concerns ki…to tere par hansii aati hai…solutions engineers se bhi zyada sahi de sakta hai koi…an engineer can read, comprehend and memorize matters both quantitatively and qualitatively. Rahi baat pre ki to apne skills badha naa. Mains me GS ki jaanch ho jaati hai. Ratte maar kar tere jaise PRE k objectives nikaal lete hain aur mains me taaein-taaein-phish. Zara objective aur subjective research dono kar lena jawaab post karne se pahle.
BAAKI JUNTAA SE ANURODH HAI KI MERE POST PAR JYADA LADAAI JHAGDAA MAT KARNA. IT WAS FOR THIS MORON ONLY.
Hum Mrunal ki site par constructive rahein. Ek purpose hai iska. Jo sahi contenders hain Civils k wo jaante hain ki diverse background k log aayenge aur competition k terms aur norms dono UPSC k hain. Let’s appreciate that Indian administration being a generalist service gives everyone an equal opportunity. Final results ke baad phir dikhega ki humanities,accounts,engg, medicine saare streams k log hain. And that is the beauty.
@GreyCell Garage-you forgot “b” in your title-greycell”GARBAGE”
@Father Satan- yes “SHAITAN”….u r right
Thanks Mrunal for support and guidance.
Was feeling dis hearted after not able to findmy roll number ,(Coz I was searching wrong no)
Now filled with spirit , initially thought exam was not fair. Now hopes are high …will give my best.
Stage 2 began, Cleared prelims .Thanks everyone Keep Sharing !!!!!!
all those scoring above 300 are terribly wrong. I think no one scores above 280. 2011 topper got 267.
yes you can easily score 299 plus, its no big deal, toppers are not who has highest knowledge but one who can explain the knowledge and that too in the written words. moreover answer to the question is there in the options itself you just need to know it or infer it.
do you know a 267 in 2011 is equivalent to 250+67 (atleast) this year. conditions has changed since 2011 no one knew what csat paper will be like, getting 267 was a great deal that year. some what like ethics , this paper may be easy but we are not familiar with it so in exam it will take some time to understand it and create a strategy there itself. while you know what to expect out of paper 2 hence high probability of scoring more.
according to me more than 1000 students are expecting 299+ mostly riding on paper-2. 170,180 and so on.
wake up dude/babe..atleast 300 spartans are there who have scored 300hundie
now from next year our target in pre exam should be to score 300+ then only we can assure that we will get through…because increase in cutoff continuously from 198(2011) to 209(2012) and now approx.238(2013) is the sign indicating that upsc is increasing cutoff year by year…so be ready that cutoff for 2014 will not be below 270…now competition will be on the edge..working hard+luck is the only and only possible way to crack this exam…
i am preparing for 2014 prelims exam.congrulations to all who make it,and not getting reinspired is tough,because reading the same material again.but itp reperation brings certain confidence levels.even u did not make it it will helpful to u in many ways.have faith in your hardwork,certainly it will be positive
this is your first time
yes man
sir,
i tried to get the roll no . through the link you provided but its always displaying “server is too busy”. i lost my roll no. please help.

i am very . . . .very glad tinu.
I was expecting 178-185 but didn’t clear. I belong to ST category. can anyone tell me the cut off for STs this year. I am so upset that in all my four attempts i couldn’t clear one…….god save me!
bhai yr……how to start with the prepartion…is it neccessaary to take coaching …..i am now in 1 st year b.sc……please yr help me out ?
Hi,
Expecting 250! cleared!
Thanks Mrunal.
hey! did clear both ifs and ias?
what was your probable score GAURAV …
No, Only IAS
This was my first attempt …I failed despite Having 235 score ..I feel so bad, I hv never worked hard as much as I did for this exam for d first time in my life and I hv put a very sincere effort…yet the two most important ppl in my life think I din work hard enough I feel devastated…does it always imply only those who hv passed are d ppl who worked hard and not others ??
Anamika ji… did your parents say so???
Hi Anamika,
You don’t need to be devastated & keep one thing in mind that hardwork never unrewarded by god. I have also missed this year as i failed in pre but keep moving because someone told me that try try try and finally you will get success.
