hi friends … i want to ask that if a candidate got 185 marks in paper 2 of prelim and o marks in paper 1 of pre. and cutoff marks for his/her category is 185 than he/she will qualify for mains or not ? means i want to know , is there any separate qualifying marks for these two pre exams ?
Look guys this is my first attempt but this is civil service guys . The paper 1 was not difficult but tricky, so the average score after cut off will go about 65 to 85 . Paper 2 was easy but time consuming so ythe score will go about 130-140. so cut off will be around 210 for general .
paper 1 = 65 marks
paper 2 = 110 marks
total = 175 marks OBC prelims cleared
