really want to belive that cut off will be low. its should be low than last year. dont know why people saying it was easy. so stressed
Paper I was tricky and diverse. It was not easy to give correct answer for more than 55. And chances for wrong answers was also more. So paper I cut off will be around 80. Paper II was lengthy and complex though solvable.But those who did reasoning are sure of their correct answers but those who did more passages cant be sure and can be negatives also. So Paper II also cut off will be lower than last year(since only 2 maths ). It may be around 90-100. So overall cut off may be around 170-180 or 175-185

only 5000 out of 10000 appeared in jharkhand . what is the case in other states
I think you are right bro.
actually questions were easy but questions were asked in detail. If you know 3 points of 4 then definitely you will not leave the question.
and ofcourse that 1 point may be wrong.
I think 180 to 200 will secure the seat for main exams.
1. When seats are more, cutoff goes down.
2. Paper was not easier but bit tougher in comparison to last year. Paper 1 had lots of tricky combinations of options. Papers also had many questions in RC on the pattern of combination of option. It will only further pull cut off down.
In my view, expected cut off will be almost same or little lower than last year.
hope so...
if number of seats is more then the cutoff should decrease right?
u can't say....the number of candidates will also be more...competition will tough....
