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.

By the way, Result of Roll Nos.290376, 722998 and 783890 have been withheld on Court direction.

Expected 245 to 254.from wizard’s key.not in the pdf of successful candidates.those who calculated 240 with the same key,all cleared.took all doubtful answers as negative.calculated the minimum lowest scores only n got it as 245.too surprised to hear if someone in general category expecting 220 -225 cleared the exam.
No way that high cut-off. I am getting 219 according to wizard key. Still qualified. Yes general candidate. roll number 045590. centre was some Russian girls school(sarvodaya) near Moolchand.
cutoff is about 240-245
NO WAY!!!!!!RE EVALUATE UR ANSWER !!!219…HUH!!!
I THINK IT SUD BE…249!!!
can i anyhow upload my question booklet or asnwersheet? I am surely getting 219 frm wizard key. Roll number in list – check it urself.
what is your category ?????
U MIGHT HAVE COUNTED WRONG…CHECK IT ONCE AGAIN….I KNOW MANY OF MY FRIENDS SCORING 230+ IN GENERAL CATEGORY R UNABLE TO CLEAR PRELIMS….MYSELF SCORING 205-210,FROM SC CATEGORY BUT COULDNT CLEAR
Neena. is it 219 or 319? have you checked any other answer keys like Gktoday, Vajiram ravi and others. Please put your analysis on expected score. Because many candidates who were expecting 235-240 (General category) have failed in prelims. So what would be reason do you think? This question is to know the truth. Anyhow all the best for your mains … GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much Anand for your blessings. I have mentioned my Roll number. I was wondering if I could upload scan of my question booklet for you all to see. I am not some superhuman or super intelligent being to score 319. its 219 with a TWO.
I am from General category. My centre was StoiGEORGI STOIKOV RAKOVSKI SARVODAYA
KANYA VIDYDLAYA, C-BLOCK, DEFENCE COLONY, NEW DELHI-110024…
I am not kidding with anybody. Maybe its my luck…
i think ur score was high but u have underestimated it . with 219 obc category people have not cleared …. even i have scored 220 (obc) ,(leaving all doubtful questions as wrong) but i have not cleared the exam ….!!!
@NEENA
There was something wrong in your calculation…….Because it is totally unbelievable and plz donot spread wrong information…..I cleared but my many close friends with 230 could not…..while all checked with many authentic keys….
was getting 229 from vajiram keys. qualified
how yara how … I got 230 (CL key) and 223(Vaji)… could nt clear .. how?? how????
I am getting 226..OBC category ..Couldn’t cleared.
what is your category ????
may I know your category?
@abhil
what is the use of being aware of your score and keys in 2014,u wont be able to identify areas you ve to improve nor the time to do it.just another reason to lament for a week.
I have cleared Prelims..had a score of 235-245 ……. Thanks Mrunal sir… I do agree with friends that Prelims has become a joke in CSAT scenario… The Dilemma for UPSC is that… easy questions lead to a meteoric rise in cut-off.. which eliminates many candidates who can be a force to reckon with in the subsequent stages of this prestigious exam…. Many of my friends from BHU, Varanasi and JNU, New Delhi hv failed in Prelims 2013….

Dear SAthish,
I understand your situation, but i think there might b some error in your preparation. I will tell my case. Last year I appeared for Prelim without studying much (i.e. 1 month only) I got Paper-I 70 and Paper- II 97 – 167. So cudnt qualify. For one day I got lost but from the next day again i thought that this is my first attempt and I will start from fresh. Now this time I changed my strategy, I read everything not a single topic left. I also studied rigorously for mains before prelims. And practised CSAT paper 2 also. So I was rigorous in preparation for CSAT 2013 for mains and pre. After exam I was expecting 270 marks. And I cleared too. U can see difference in marks scored in 2012 nd 2013 which is around 100 marks. So even if cutt off goes high or low by practising we r always on the safer side. And after clearing prelims we sud always think that this is the Last attempt so that u can put your best in it.
Hi Mrunal, I didn’t find any link of contacting you, so I’m writing here. Any one can answer me.
I’ve cleared Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination, 2013.
To be honest I’ve given it just because my friends were appearing for the same. I went for exam for just enjoying a trip without even knowing the syllabus. Now that I’ve cleared the Preliminary exam, I really don’t know what to do.
After searching on net I come across your Blog.Sir, Is it possible to crack Mains with study of 3-4 months? Should I go for it ? Do I have any chances? What should I do?
Could you please, guide me? or at least give me some direction so that I can resolve my queries.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys please help me out!!
This is a genuine help request. Reply fast..
Just go through Mrunal’s Mains article and you will get some idea !
good luck b
Yes People like u it is possible to clear mains as well,,,just take upsc syllabus ,,,dont listen any1,,,jst take advice regarding books from ppl who r into game.attempt is already utilised,,,just run,,,,all d best
How many attempts are there for an OBC candidate? I’m 26 year old.
For OBC..7 attempt.
Well Vicky … best of luck for ur prep. But remember the odds are stacked against your favour.
I would like to quote Mrunal Bhai from one of his articles
“—-
Suppose Ajay Devgan exercised for 2 hours per day for 90 days continuously and transformed into a “muscle man” for his movie Singham.
Therefore if you exercise 12 hours a day for 15 days, you’ll get the same muscular body. Is it possible?
Why not? 90×2=180 and 12×15 is also 180!
Even If you take steroids, this is not possible. Same goes with the short cuts and quick fix solutions.
—-”
My suggestion give your best shot … if you are very lucky you may get through…. but be mentally prepared to retry next year
Cheers
I didn’t clear.
expecting marks were = 174 to 180 OBC.
Thanks mrunal sir.
For OBC cut off must be above 230 as I am getting 226 and could not clear.
It is obvious that the candidates who have been selected for IFS Main exam and has applied for ICS Exam has surely and certainly cleared ICS prelims too.
It is an open secret that in the district of India IFS is a far far substandard service looking to the criteria of working and position in the society….
UPSC has done ill and wrong decision making, because the decision has been taken in mechanical manner without applying mind only on the basis of mathematical calculations and it is not so simple maths.
They have made cut off of IFS Exam pre higher than ICS exam which means opportunity of candidates applying for IFS has been reduced drastically, therefore its a violation of Art 14 & 16 of constitution of India,
because at mains level if candidates will be selected in both the exams, then they will leave IFS reducing the opportunity of left out candidates.
For ICS if we assume against 1000 posts nearly 16000 candidates have cleared the prelims, on the contrary for near about 80 posts of IFS only 1053 candidates have cleared the prelims, than these(IFS) candidates have scored much higher marks than that of ICS candidates, therefore cut off must be declared by adding both the no. of post viz. ICS 1000 + IFS 80 =1080, means over all cut off for both the exams should be one. It means at least 25000 should be taken or whatsoever the criteria may be for cut off.
Thus the qualifying list for both the exams must be one and the same, because both the sets of candidate have been assessed on the same pedestal
Dude, they have maintained the ratio of oddly 1:15.
which explains all.
Total who cleared CS-pre:- 14,959
Total who cleared IFS-pre:- 1061.
Out of these 1061
1023 were those who have cleared CS pre as well.
There are only 38 such who made only in IFS and not in CS-pre
This is what i am trying to say!! IFS aspirants have been robbed off there opportunity….. Before the declaration of new rules none of the IFS aspirant was studying CSAT and MCQ of GS I…. suddenly they were compelled to start preparing two new papers. Now what will happen is people are going to leave IFS and go for IAS because in IFS you have to prepare two Science subjects in mains….. which no IAS aspirant takes esp. after changing of rules( i.e. they take only one subject and that will not be a science subject I can bet on that)…. They are making it harder for IFS at pre level and easier at mains by reducing the competition….. see there are only 38 core IFS candidates….. Can you imagine??? only 1000 candidates all over india??? Is this a joke?? really??
yaa rohit…1000000 times agree with u…i was hard core ifs aspirant….what happen with ifs aspirant….really !!! what a powerfull joke with ifs aspirent…so many ppl were busy with ifs mains prpsn…some of them sortlisted in ias but not in ifs…ab wo na idhar k na udhar k….!!!bokas strtgy by upsc!!!
sir, my registration id is- 11313978222. plz check my roll no. and tell that whether i have cleared or not? plzz sir
sorry not selected!! Prepare better next time :(
how did you check roll no from the reg id …plz tell me also my reg id is 11317034869 , if you can plz check my roll no too.
@Abhishek SIngh For someone who wants others to check their spellings you sure don’t do the same. It should be ‘WATCH what YOU write’.
Sir, Please upload Previous years Q Paper for Management Trainee Post (FCI). When it is likely to be held? Sources to cover the syllabus?
sir,
please upload..
1. Expected exam schedule of FCI management trainee
2. Previous year exam Q papers.
3. Sources which we should explore to cover the syllabus.
MY SCORE IS 237( PAPER I=89:PAPER II=148)SC CATEGORY..BUT DIDN’T QUALIFY….SHOCKED.
I SAW SOME COMMENTS OF GETTING 213 TO 217 SC CATEGORY HAVE CLEARED. WHAT IS THIS HAPPENING?
dont understand on what basis upsc selected ifos candidates . . . people who are in both the lists (90%) will offcourse not prepare for i.FO.S and competetion will be among those remaining 100 members . . . is this what upsc meant for “QUALITY” . . . missed out the simplest lozic . . . god save upsc
i have to admit that i was not quite sure of clearing the prelims as i was scoring low(225-230,gen cat).but luckily in the end i made it through.feeling very lucky
Mrunal Sir thanks a lot, cleared prelims
Anybody who got different sets for paper 1 and paper 2 and cleared? please there is terribly something wrong with upsc . . . . they should check the results again so many candidates got more than those who qualified and not cleared. . . .
Hi,
As i could not clear pre-IFS, I have a lot of free time to do this analysis and share it with you.
There may be few who would be interested in statistics.
Total who cleared CS-pre:- 14,959
Total who cleared IFS-pre:- 1061.
Out of these 1061
1023 were those who have cleared CS pre as well.
There are only 38 such who made only in IFS and not in CS-pre
I hope someone can share my pain
If this is correct, Then there is a serious flaw in the process from UPSC.
@Robert G
I must say after your analysis The Dumb UPSC
yaa dear….feeling hard as i was an ifs asp!!!!what can do???? damin UPSC!!!
This is what i am trying to say!! IFS aspirants have been robbed off there opportunity…..

how can we see our marks obtained in civil services, preliminery exam????
UPSC does not announce the marks sheet until the whole examination process is completed. We will have to wait till 2014 for that.
huh…unable to check result…lost admit card..
I lost my upsc admit card and now i dont remember my roll no clearly my reg id is 11317034869. and Dob is 16/10/1991 , if any one can find out my admit card i will be very grateful and also is the given link for admit card works ? it will be very frustrating if i find afterwards that it doesn’t…
thanks in Advance

i lost my registration id hall ticket and my computer had crashed so no hints how can i know weather i am qualified or not in the prelims
Server is too Busy, Please try after some time.
dude any luck with the results??
According to cut-off of IFoS exam 2013. I Think, For IFoS exam UPSC have two option—
1.Either IFoS should be merge with IAS exam i.e there is no separate main exam for IAS and IFoS
or
2. There should be separate prelims exam for IFoS.
I THINK THR SUD BE SEPRATE PRELIMS FOR IFO…BCZ JOB PROFILE IS ENTIRLY DIFFRENT AS ONE IS ADM ONOTHER IS BASICALY ENV FOREST CONSERVATION….!WAT A BAD LUCK THIS TIME FOR MANY IFS SERIOUS CANDFIDATES….
i agree
great vedio
