There are different views on the level of question paper of APFC by candidates. Few candidates found it average type where as maximum of candidates believe that the paper was very tough and cutoff will not go much.
What I believe that the toughness of Provident Fund Commissioner in EPFO written test depends on the level of preparation. Those candidates who prepare for the exam after keeping syllabus in front of them, they have done better in the exam. Question were totally from the syllabus.
There were maximum number candidates who already working somewhere and doesn’t get much time to prepare, where as we also have found many candidates who prepared for UPSC IAS exam and appear for APFC.
Depend on the candidates views for the exam, We expect that the paper of exam was little above average and cutoff will be as like the UPSC prelims. We expect candidates to share their expected marks of the exam so that we would analyze and find out the exact cutoff for APFC Exam by UPSC.

I expect cut off will be somewhat near 60, because in any exam if negative marks is 13 cut off never go above 60%, and thou in upsc , one of my friend clear his prelims this year , he scored total 195. so even in upsc pre cut off was near to 50%. let see.
Cut for epfo exam is must be 65+
M confused with the views of aspirants that cut off will b 75 ……..
I just want to ask a single question
20 to 25 questions who relates fund
Insurance etc …now everyone tell me
Everyone is left with 80 choices on an average.
Mulmantra ye hai ki ab sab log apne apne ans match kar liye honge
Now pls give ur views b/n 55 to 65
…….
Its upsc not joke 60% karna
Means fair chances……..
Rest ,selected students know it
will not go above 60.
you have nailed the logic perfectly.
with more than 20 questions from finance/audit/taxation (which usually candidates would not know), scores will have to by all means drip downward.
Even i think that those having a score around 63 have the fair chance.
people with no analysis or realistic abilities claim 75 or 80…..it cant be more than 65 …
paper was not as tough as some people are saying. I guess cut off must go above 70 for general candidates
kamal ji aap kitne score kar rahe hy p
i m st candidate and m getting 80 marks
I have qualified for IAS pre and preparing for main 2012. Today i could solve 96 without much preparation of some parts of the syllabus, out of which 18 is incorrect…so i think the cut off should not go below 70…. for general and 65 for obc….
So why are u sitting for this kind of exams?
shashikant you are fool 18 are incorrect its means 6 more questions will be deducted so you get 72 aur below than 72 …………………..first of all clear you own funda and then share………………….mental the sick
sitting in a room u cud hv done dat……….
cud the same b repeated in the hall
cut off will be 65 % for sure..
Obc ka kam off general se 1-2 marks hi kam hoga.same bhi ho sakta hai
