Following are the category wise cutoff marks of APSC CCE Final exam 2009 (also called as 2011), result of which was announced on April 26, 2013.

961 | 938 | 961 | 957 | 871 | 927 |

| Scheduled Tribe (Hills) | 847 | 846 | 871 | No vacancy | 762 | No vacancy |
The marks above include interview. That means they are out of all total 1600, not just 1400 of CC (Main) Exam. The highest cutoff was 961 or 60.06% for ACS and APS posts in open category. The lowest cutoff was 762 or 47.62% for Inspector of taxes post in Scheduled Tribe (Hills) category. Category wise, lowest cutoff score for General category was 927 or (57.93%). Lowest OBC cutoff was 833 i.e. 52%. Compared to UPSC Civil Services examination, these values are high.
APSC 2013 Final Cutoff:
Cutoff marks are hard to predict. Because they are influenced by various factors such as candidates in different subjects, pattern of question papers, examiners etc. Higher standards of valuation can easily push cutoff scores down. But it is seen that cutoff marks of civil services examinations fluctuate within a range. The APSC Mains written examination was held in Guwahati from July 1 to July 27, 2014. Though nearly 3000 candidates were selected, several candidates didn’t appeared in the Mains. Also we heard that some papers were tougher than previous years. So, what will be the cutoff for APSC 2013? Will it be around 55-60% for General and 50-55% for OBC? Or it will change drastically? Have any good guess? Feel free to express your views.
Date of APSC 2013 Main results:
Any tentative dates for declaration of APSC 2013 Main exam results? If everything goes smoothly, APSC 2013 Mains examination results will be announced by the end of September or early October. That’s what one APSC employee told us. Basically it is too early to give an exact date. For views and opinion related to APSC civil services exam, don’t forget to view this APSC 2013 discussion page.

Further, for Assam Geography, I am following the book by Taher Sir
@The Indian
Thank you….Economic Survey of Assam ?…is it available online ?…and as you are having Geography as your optional…could you tell me a Assam Geography Book which will be helpful for both Prelims and Mains ?
@Indian,which organisation do you work.Sameer,Jay are you guys also working.Is it possible to prepare while working.I am working in SBI.
@skud … for assam economy portion, I think latest Economic Survey should suffice coupled with self made notes on Industries and Mineral resources
@all
What should I consult (book/blog) for Assam Economy portion?….both for Pre and Mains?….I am finding it a hard nut to crack!!!!
@skud… I have not started preparing for cce16 yet but believe the GS pattern will remain unchanged
@Pristine
I agree….
Less vacancy and higher level of competition will pull cutoff to higher side. Having said that, new reform is being introduced (in house evaluation) and enormous public scrutiny probably made the examiners to award marks cautiously, leading to strict marking scheme. Also if word limit criteria have been taken seriously as pointed out by someone here few days back, cutoff may go down. So loads of pull up n pull down factors might come into play. Hope an equilibrium would be established favorable to all deserving candidates.
@jay
I think cut off hike….because Sociolgy paper was a bit tough for me but in other papers I performed better than last time…I suppose so!!!
and one more thing…..are you following the same pattern for GS for the CCE 16?
Does anyone have any idea about the type of questions asked in interview?? People who have attended interview last tym may throw some light on it.
@Jay …. Something happened in 2009 that left me demotivated. With some current changes being brought about in Commission, I turned hopeful and decided to take a plunge.
@Skud … Optional is Geo for prelim.. No Sir, not taking any coaching.. Full time job.. Constrained by paucity of time
@All … Which would be the core areas/topics of GS these days?
@ pristine….what do you think the cut-off has gone up or fallen this time?
Thanks bro and same to you.
@skud ….. sorry you could not make it this time. what do you think, this is owing to cutoff hike or your performance sink? I guess a slight decline in cutoff or I could not have been in. There is a need of introspection bro for better next. Plz share, it may help others as well
@The Indian
What is your optinal for prelims?
Are you taking coaching anywhere?
@pristine
@jay
Both of you have qualified this time…..something went terribly wrong with me…..despite my attempt I failed to make it…..I am disappointed a lot…hope to get suggestions to crack Prelims this time…!!!!

@ the Indian …. why did you skip intermediate chances? as per me, you need to focus on the optional paper
@ pristine…. you must have missed cce13 by a narrow margin. May god shower you with blessings this time. Why did you not appear in cce14?
