OTHER ONE IS DECLINE IN GENDER RATIO
ReplyDeletethanks. updating now.
Deletewhat can be the expected cut off for Gen??
ReplyDelete55-60 if negative marking, otherwise 60-65. also they might decide to call in more than 1000 (700 unreserved +300 reserved) declared earlier.
DeleteIs the cutoff same for everyone or it is different categorywise?
Deleteobviously, SC and ST cut-offs would be lower than general category, maybe 10 and 20 marks lower respectively
DeleteWill there be sectional cut-offs as well?
ReplyDeleteno
Deletenot mentioned anywhere, so no.
ReplyDeleteNow, how can we prapare for Written Test (Issue/ Social and economic issue based). Kindly suggest some topics.
ReplyDeletei will publish a post on 2nd January, i.e. post result declaration
DeleteAny idea about negative marking?
ReplyDeleteHi, in question no. 16 vehicle tax was also an option.... so can't it be the correct answer?
ReplyDeleteno, vehicle tax is under PRIs. you might have got it confused with road tax which is under state govt.
DeleteThanks you so much for the key. Can someone throw light on

Time of the test, number of essays, marking patterns, sample essays etc.
