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.

mai apne marks pta karna chahti hun.. is it possible..?? ma roll no. is not in the list.. i want to know the list of disqualified candidates..
UPSC will release the keys along with marks and cutoff after the whole examination process is over only then you can get the information about your marks until then even RTI will not serve the purpose.
muje apne prelims ki marks nai pta chl skte..??
No. You can match the answers with the keys provided by different institutions like vaji, cl etc but they are not authentic. Upsc key is different from them. Only after matching with the key provided by upsc you can correctly calculate your marks.
Mrunal bhai ka case high court pahuch chuka hai, aasha karo ki bhai jeet jaye aur upsc prelim score dilhane ko majboor ho jaye…
Mmm congratulations to all those who qualified for mains unfortunately i cudnt make it last night i really felt bad nd cudnt close my eyes for a sec i thought my life would end becoz this being my last attempt. whole nite i was cursing my ill fate which was following me all these yrs failing me twice in mains but to my surprise since mrng iam feeling so strong nd a grt hope in.my life is tht i can face any failure in my life nd yet be motivated. this is all becoz of upsc nd the dedication nd hard work we put in it will bring a total change in our attitude nd we turn out to be so matured thank you so much upsc
In short, 4yrs of hard work= lot of experience
how to face life,how to face failure, how to face world, how to blame ourselves,how to cry,how to laugh,how to console
MOST IMPORTANTLY IMMENSE KNOWLEDGE which seperates us from a layman
keep this spirit always…same here…
Your self motivaion is really appreciable and it motivated me as well..Thankx
Wish you All the very best for all your future endeavors!
Hi Anupama,
This is the beauty of being UPSC aspirant.. We became a civil servant or not we became better person for sure..
Good Luck!! I am sure you will do well in life..
My story is similar to yours. This was last chance for me also, the only difference that i cleared prelims this time.
I believe all the aspirants have some story to tell, but normally we like to hear those who succeeds. Nice to know your feelings. I hope i will make this chance count.
Best of luck in your life.
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley
This was my first attempt and could not clear so felt very bad yesterday .Now i understand how bad could be the 4yrs of such experiences.But life doesn’t end here ,experience will make us better human being and upright citizen of India.
Gud luck
This was my First and second last attempt, gave my best, tried my level best. Took 3 months off, came back to India, alas but cudn’t clear, now thinking whether to appear next year or not. I was so sure, taht even I started preparing for Mains, but luck matters. Yeah we will be difinitely one way or other different from others, atleast better in some sense, but serving nation in the name of Civil servant….dream failed. Struck whether to prepare for next yr or not. U dont dishearten, will be something better in plate.
prepare for mds
i was expecting 220+ but still don’t cleared. this was my 2nd attempt i need your help to clear 2014 prelims
I got selected but not hoping for selection
Hi Mrunal
Thank you for your all efforts to help the aspirants.
I was always in dilemma for last 4 years meanwhile kept on attempting the exam with just 1-2 weeks of preparations b4 the pre exam, and I never cleared exam. Now I am 30+ but still have 2 more attempts in OBC category. I am working well in IT idustry. However I want to put my 100% efforts this time but sometimes i think i am too old for this exam, and my age would be negative point even if i qualify in Mains for interview. Can you pls help and guide me.
How many will qualify for interview out of around 15000
This years cutoff must have been really mad;was expecting someting like 230-240 still didn’t qualify!This is nuts!
cut off of IFoS is more than IAS??????????
Yes,around 180,since only 1000 have been chosen for IFS Mains
Read 280 in place of 180……
Hey, Naveen can you please share your registeration/roll number. Thanks!!
going to commit suicide. U vl get d news soon. Failed in my last attempt.
prepare for ssc or any other exam…at the end of the day its just an exam…it is not the end of life…if u r depressed take medical help…tc
i could not get the thread for that anonymous person ,who decided to take his life. As a Doctor Iam advising u that upsc is only an avenue to get into a govt job.there are lot of oppurtunities left in our life.This is only end of our attempts,not the end of our life.We should be mentally strong during our failures.Think of ur family members,ur close friends-Everyone is depending on u(Not financially)they depend on u for ur love and affection… Don’t lose ur heart,be bold-u will surely suceed in ur life
Aisi baate sochne se pehle apne parents ke baare mei 1 baar to socho jo sach mei itna pyaar karte hain apne bachcho ko. Kya 1 exam unse zyaada mahatvapoorna hai. aur aap akele last attempt mei fail nahi hum log bhi hai, isse accept kijiye aur aage badiye.
Couldn’t clear !!
But I hope next time I will be an IAS for sure.
Lots of reasons when I can blame situations,responsibilities and some sort of health problems but this is true that I’ve flunked, But this is good as right now I know the areas where I was lagging behind, where I must work on.
My message to all who have not cleared…Once i read somewhere ..’If you get No..NO…NO…NO…and No…but you Know you’re gradually near to ‘Yes’
ALL THE LUCK TO ALL !!
Hello Friends,
It was my first attempt. And I got disqualified. I was expecting 220+.
I am writing this for all those who couldnt make it this time.
Plz dont regret if u have made more than 210 because +/- 20 marks variation will always be there.
So practically there is no difference between those who cleared n who didnt with gap of 20 marks.
Secondly we are the future of India and bloody UPSC can not deny this fact by disqualifying us.
And even we had seen the AUKAAT of coward UPSC which can not withstand the pressure of politicians and regressed it pattern changes.
So all in all I want to say plz dont let your caliber be assessed by foolish upsc.
Be confident .. be a man.. mard…and kick the sticky ass of upsc… it will relieve you for sure…
And start a new fresh day…
Remember ……All is well…….
Got selected, Was expecting around 245 as per keys available on internet, but it was largely due to my performance in paper-2, Not having high hopes, as prelims was very easy anybody could have cleared that.
Now I will have to choose a subject, Never thought I would or could write UPSC-Mains.. Will just prepare NCERT and Newspaper for mains. Yet to decide on subject..Can anybody tell me which subject has the least syllabus other than PubAd ?
Its not about which subject has least syllabus but it should be like which subject i can complete in least time..i.e in which subject i am more comfortable…this year ur concentration should be more on gs rather than optional..
Congrats for ur success and all the best for mains..:)
Don’t waste time .Do every thing which You need …Always think about your goal ….always try to get closer to your goal.. Don’t be afraid of any thing .You can get every thing what you want…. ,but your desire should be burning … keep in your mind.At every moment with applying your positive effort try to get it … Always love what you do .Don’t think even in dream that you can’t reach to your goal. Always fight with all those things which try to be an obstacle to achieve your goal.and don’t take rest before get over it .. Always keep in your mind a human being can do every things if its attitude is positive. Dream of getting anything is initial stage of getting it….But only dream is not enough to get …So at every moment with applying every part of your body and thinking I have to get it and don’t stop before reaching to your goal
Thanks… much required motivation! But anyways will take 1 or 2 day to get over and gear up for Prelims 2014 preparation.
Didn’t clear. It was my first attempt and I was expecting around 215-ish, general category. I’m pretty good at the aptitude section and was relying on that to help me sail through this. Obviously, I’ve realised for the first time in my rather easy life that my luck which has generally helped me even when I don’t put in the required effort is not going to do any magic here without my own efforts. I have a full scholarship for a Master’s programme abroad in a very good university and I was seriously considering giving it up for an attempt at UPSC. Now, I am going to go for my degree, prepare for UPSC for a year or two (thankfully, the age is on my side so far) and take another shot in 2014 or 2015. I don’t know about the others but I really can’t blame the UPSC or the “high cut off” for my own mistakes. I know I didn’t study as much as I needed to because of my “Eh, I’ll clear because I’m so awesome at CSAT” type of attitude. So, this time instead of giving GS a stepmotherly treatment, that is what I’ll focus on. Thanks a lot to Mrunal Sir, though. I’m going to rely on this website and his strategy for my work now.
Just a candid advice to everyone who did not make it – please take it a little positively. Think of how much time you have now to master the new syllabus and prepare well for the next preliminary test which is in August instead of May 2014. I wish luck to everyone who has made it to the next stage and even more luck to those who did not make it.
Would you mind telling us what university and program you have a scholarship for?
It’s at LSE for a Master’s in International Political Economy.
Impressive! You have a great life ahead, UPSC-CSE selection or not :)
Thanks. :) I’ll still keep up with the CSE preparation though. I never thought about giving it a shot until last year, and now that I am into this, it’s as if a bug has bitten me. Time to dig Mrunal Sir’s old strategy posts now and check out how people with no coaching can manage this.
was expecting min 240 marks…90+ &
150+( cheked visionias,gktoday,ias100,
vajiram)…but cud not clear….
what I suspect that I got both the question
papers of different sets and serial no…mostly
we get same set and serial no in both papers…
is there anyone who got the papers of different
set and serial no ??
Well this was my first attempt when age limit has not yet reached, even i felt depressed i had a hope of making it… did may not best but atleast better dts y was feeling bad… n sad but after going thru all these ppl replies n finding many r like me and yet motivated even i thot so that its of no use i may not be able to do again as reading sumonez commnt abuve that “ill bounce back hard next tim” i m happy and will apply same … i know it not that tough if u put more hard work u wud certainly get par… so thats with me now MOTIVATION BY OTHERS
gaurav dubey – sorry dear – not succeeded
Hello Friends,
I am writing this for all those who couldnt make it this time.
As far as I am thinking if you have made up to 210, then you have done the great job and please be happy for that.
One thing to be noticed in any competitive exam is that it is a play of two hours only. Most of us are well prepared and worked hard but still we couldnt reach cut off. Here we should note that +/- 20 marks limit is obvious. So if different between those who qualified and who didnt is around 20 marks then practically there is no difference in their ability.
So just Chill..
Secondly dear friends, we are the future of India and Bloody UPSC can not deny this fact by just disqualifying us. (and what else UPSC can do more than that?).
So please dont let you caliber be assessed by moron UPSC.
We all have seen the AUKAAT of UPSC as how it had to step back from pattern change due to political pressure. So please for now lets kick UPSC together and do a fresh start.
thank u sir
yaar roll no. 442764 kiska hai..?? anybody knws??
did nt qualify bt again i will make the things and i will qualify for next time
unsuccess got bt its also necessary for sucess so wake up again…………
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL !!!! THE CUTOFF FOR GENERAL CATEGORY SEEMS TO BE ABOVE 245 AND FOR OBC ABOVE 235. CUT OFFS HAVE RISEN SIGNIFICANTLY THIS YEAR. LETS HOPE THE SAME CONTINUES IN MAINS AND INTERVIEW. ALL THE BEST. CARPE DIEM “WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH, THE TOUGH GETS GOING”
Thanks a lot MRUNAL. I cleared
Anybody from Ahmedabad?
I am from ahmedabad
Is there any way we could form a study circle?
yes I am from ahmd.
I could not clear it. It was my last attempt. Was expecting 240+. Studied a lot. Didn’t take coaching but prepared by self because my father did not have money to pay for my fees. I can’t stop my tears while writing this. Nothing is coming in my mind what to do next?
But Thanks Mrunalbhai for everything you did for us… God Bless U!!!
Hi Avinash,
I too know and perceive your feelings. We are all humans.So we are bound to depressions when we have done lot of and still could not see our names in the list. It is very disheartening . But at the same time “LIFE HAS TO MOVE ON”. There are lot of avenues to shine. Moreover the experience we have gained from prepartion never going to waste. The world will praise when we succeed, but will curse when we fail. So this journey surely would have made us to be mentally tough to face any challenges in Life. This is just an exam. Life is more precious than exam. All the best for all your future endeavours. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!
I am dumbstuck..frustrated..confused …
Please someone tell me the approximate cutoff that any of your friends who cleared this time had.
I was getting a score of 270-280 as per various answer keys still cudn clear.
Last time i have missed to clear prelims by just 1 mark.
I was so damn sure that i will clear this time,but to my surprise my roll number isnt there.
I think then there is mistake in analysis of marks.
Else cud have easily cleared.
Anyways all the best for next year…
“Life is more precious”
well said
