Dear friends,
RTI from UPSC has confirmed 2011 Prelims cutoff – OC-198.OBC-175,SC-165,ST-161 and there is no individual cutoff.So it is a combined cutoff.However UPSC may fix a minimum qualifying marks (like 35-40%) in individual papers & then combine for ranking. So candidates who got balanced marks in both the papers will get thro'. ie if a candidate has got 150marks in paper2 & gets just 50 marks (25%) , he gets total 200marks. Will he be selected? In my opinion UPSC will not do that. So candidate who got atleast 80marks(40%) in papaer-1 & 100 marks(50%)in paper-2 may get thro'.
Best wishes
