UPSC had conducted Civil service and Forest service (combined) preliminary exam aka CSAT-2015, on 23th August 2014. Here are the scanned copies of Booklet no.”B” for both paper 1 (GS) and Paper 2 (Aptitude):
Detailed Analysis and Topicwise Answerkeys with explanations (for all sets), coming soon.
- You’re most welcome to provide your inputs, answers, observation, analysis and experience in the comments below.
- If you want to discuss then discuss MCQs, (and not cut-offs.) Everyone who had prepared sincerely, and did not risk too much negative marking, he/she has a fair chance of clearing prelims.
- Internet user sample size too short to make any predictions. So don’t lose blood pressure, if Mr.X, Y or Z says he ticked more MCQs than you.

Hey is there any one who has taken Mechanical Engineering as optional from Chennai.
Cut off for gen is not going to be more than 105. …..at max. At lower side it may even fall down to late eighties
I also think so, because scores as claimed by many are fake, or subject to matching with upsc’s answer key. So many who are expecting, say around, 100 may go down to 95; many who are expecting 90 may go upto 95. The wisest thing is to study for mains even if your score is hovering around 90+/-5; Coz u never know. N u actually don’t know how others have performed. I also am getting around 91.33 but still hopeful. Baki result hi batayega. In any case cut off should not exceed the 100 mark because getting more than 50% with 1/3rd -ve marking is really difficult. There might be aspirants in the range of 120-130 but we must remember that they don’t make the cut-off. Cut-off is determined by the above average score. 90-95 should be sufficient.
yes from 83-86 to 88 large number of people will stuck there.your score seems to be ok.
Cutoff will be around 150.

Hi Parthibhan! Firstly clear the basics with Prabeen Singh and Mahapatra then proceed further with Materials from any coaching classes or with other specialized books.
Please Help Me Friends!!!!! I am rovering between 96-103 Marks in CSE 2015 PRE. My mains examination of MPPSC is scheduled from 28 Oct. In MPPSC they ask their local issues more so the preparation of MPPSC Mains is quite different from CSE Mains, moreover In MPPSC there is no more optional subject….all 7 papers are common. So please guys suggest me ……What should I do ? Should I start for CSE Mains too? Is my Pre Score is enough to get me through?
PLEASE SUGGEST ME………….
KALPANA……
Same Here,,,,
Hi Kalpana
I am sure there would be a common portion for both the exams like Freedom Movt, Environment, Geography etc. Start preparing for that. You will be killing 2 birds with one stone. Meanwhile as claimed by many and looks reliable that result will come by end of Sept. At the time of result you will be clear of your situation and can proceed accordingly.
Same to me Kalpana, ………….Yahi mera haal hai………….96-103 Marks mere bhi hai aur MPPSC mains bhi hai……………” I focus on MPPSC Because – 1. UPSC MAINS me Roll no. aana confirm nahi hai. 2. MPPSC me job secure karke aage preparation kar sakte hai 3. MPPSC Final Result 8 may 2016 tak aa jayega. 3. UPSC is High and more risky than MPPSC
so Focus on MPPSC and note , UPSC and MPPSC Question NATURE is so so so different , that means there are no question debate on same syllabus, MPPSC ask What is CAG, write their functions………………but UPSC never…………..So Complete some Topic of UPSC and after 3 Nov.
if you select in UPSC Mains, So ” JE JAAN LAGA DO, APNI PAR UTAR JAO” and Prepare for ICS 2015…………………
BEST OF LUCK
bhai mppsc 2012 ka result abhi tak nahi aaya hai..aur 2014(jo ki 2015 m hui) ka result 2016 tak aa jayega..kya majaak hai???
Dekhte jaiye…………….8 may 2016 se pahle aa jayega
Beware of VYAPAM!! LOLz
syllabus change ho gaya mppsc ka…dekho dhang se..bohut jyada common hai dono m m ab..prepare for uppsc and mppsc common topics..by the time result ayega uppsc ka mppsc ka syllabus aadhe se jyada ho complete ho chuka hoga..
CS (P) 2015 Cut Off Prediction
Gen. – 98
OBC – 92
SC – 87
ST – 84
Hello mister perera, here 88 don’t demotivate me..okkk?????
Mr. Ajith, you are saying exact…. May be 88
Best of luck dear !
ध्यानार्थ – यह अधिकतम कट ऑफ़ (Maximum Cut Off) है, इससे नीचे जा सकती है पर ऊपर नहीं ! प्रांरभिक परीक्षा हुए कई दिन बीत गये है ! अधिकांश मित्रों ने मुख्य परीक्षा के लिए तैयारी शुरू कर दी होगी पर जो इस ऊहापोह में है कि पता नहीं होगा या नहीं, कट ऑफ़ कितनी जायेगी ? यहाँ यह स्पष्ट कर दूँ कि कट ऑफ 120+ नहीं जायेगा जैसा कि अधिकांश लोग कह रहे है यह 100- ही रहेगी ! अत: जो अभ्यर्थी ऊपर बतायी गयी कट ऑफ में आ रहे है वे बिना किसी द्वंद्व और ऊहापोह के मुख़्य परीक्षा की करनी चाहिए !
Best of Luck !
I don’t know about cutoff but your Hindi is up to mark…..
Thanks Mr. MS
I think Rajya Sabha can amend a money bill within period of 14 days n its lok sabhas discretion to accept o not..n discussion whch z 4th part of budget takes part in 2 parts in lok sabha…
Are kya log hain bhai yahaa??
Kya tum log sach mein IAS hona chahte hain kya??
Why you people are asking others about my marks are these…am i able to clear or not?? what are these rubbish questions??
Couldn’t you analyse for your self??
If you are feeling your performance was bad…. then start preparing for next year and prepare like you are gonna clear with big margin rather than thinking about “ye ek bit right hothoto mein clear karunga bhai” ….. do it with confidence…. jo prepare hota hain sincerely , damn sure he will get his way no doubt!!
But have some confidence in your selfs bhai!!
Please start uploading mains materials. I must admit, we have become habituated of being taught in your way of teaching and cant remain starved for long time from you mind fodder.
Tell me…. assistant station master..in railway..syllabus…exam conduct
Thanks guys for ur kind words… Full throttle ahead
Bhai logo..mrunal sir preparing for mains for himself… Dnt wst ur time…go for mains with smart study…gud luck
Lekin Rahul Paranjape yah tumko kaise pata chala???
@singh ji there is also negative marking kindly less yr wrong answer marks then say about cut off. bring 110 in this type of paper reach like on the mars without space craft
@satya
Agree.
Some aspirants daily give comments here- not for mcq-but for cut off & stuff, they are wasting their time here, focusing on cut off instead of MCQs ignoring mrunal’s advice.
I think those people are non-serious,
After almost 10 days I came here & saw the 1200+ comments,
Pity on you…
Aap IAS ban’ne wale ho?
Agr serious aspirants hote toh prelim accha Jane pe mains prepare karte ya fir bura Jane par next year ki prep. Me abhi se lag gaye hoge…

Namdapha has no Arctic climate like Kanchendzongha. So. Right answer is Kanchendzongha.
namdhapa has got every vegetation u can check n moreover it has max range of altitute having vegetation so u can guess by that also..
