TO ALL THOSE WHO APPEARED IN CSE 2014

Forums and Facebook groups are filled with
queries since yesterday evening enquiring about
cut off's, few are happy with their performance
and many are dejected with their performance in
spite of hard work for past one year or few
years. "Most of the successful person have made
it big after a big defeat". Hitler was arrested for
his scoop to capture power in his first attempt,
but came back and registered himself in the
History.Everyone of us is a winner after all we
defeated millions of sperms to be born in this
world. Philosophy apart. Cut off's declared by
coaching centres usually have 5 to 10 percent
variation, does it mean we have to reduce our
marks by 10%? Not exactly, what is wrong for
someone is right for other. So to someone it
may come positive and for others it may go
down. So far as far as I am sure no institute
gave a perfect key in CSE 2011, 2012 and 2013
when compared with final key released by UPSC.
Coming to the cut off we cannot speculate, but in
last 3 years it is in increasing trend. If you
notice 2011 was the first exposure to this type of
paper so understandably the marks was 198(UR)
in 2011. Having got an idea about the pattern
the cut off increased to 209(UR) in 2012, in both
the years GS 1 was of similar difficulty. However
in 2013, GS paper 1 was said to be easier, as
many questions came from the comfortable zone
of aspirants namely Polity and Indian National
Movement.
So what about 2014? I do not wish to speculate,
but let me throw some points on it and you
decide in your own.
Paper 1 and 2
-------------------
1) 5-6 static questions - serious aspirants would
have marked it right.
2) Gaurav Agarwal (AIR 1, 2013) - said he felt
the paper bit tougher than last year. Can be
understood as many questions from Biodiversity
and few from comfortable zone of polity and INM.
3) No decision making question this year in
paper 2 - it would have provided marks last
year.Though the the time factor will be balanced
by the skipping of 6 English passage.
4) Total for paper 2 is for 185 and not for 200.
5) With the additional attempt and age relaxation,
many seniors would have returned to the arena.
This was very much visible from the total
students who took the exam which increased by
a lakh this year. However the entire increase
cannot be for the same reason as this year we
had additional centres and increased awareness.
About Cut off's in forums and groups
---------------------------------------------
-
Believe me not all give their actual marks, there
used to be a hype after all it gives temporary
hype in social status. This is the case in all
exams. Everyone give a comfortable score
making serious aspirant depressed. Do not be
deceived by all these claims. Even after result
these bogus claims continue that as per keys
they scored very much but their name is not in
the list. After they have to satisfy their
neighbours and friends for their failure.
To those who are dejected
----------------------------------
I saw few posts feeling so depressed in spite of
hard work. To all of you, "you have not lost the
race yet, you have to just get up and run again".
You would have prepared the entire year, but
would have missed something in preparation.
Make a self analysis by keeping the question
paper. You have another 6336 hours for the next
notification and 8712 hours to give your next
attempt. Every second, every minute and every
hour counts. The clock already started ticking
and you cannot ask it to wait to come out of the
depression. Already many woke up and started
running for the next deadline, for what are you
still waiting?
