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.

@din.. I admit being superstitious.. Don’t know why but I would say I owe at least a nibble of my humbly successful career to the gaumet stone that I have in my possession since last couple of years.. Can’t help it. That’s the way it has been..
Good one @Raghav
@raghav…..all the best. ….you seem confident. …but gaumet stone….!!!!! seriously! !!! I never even heard of that before……please don’t mind….I just never thought someone with brilliance and hard work needs to rely on some stones…..
@pranjal. That is a great way to approach this critical paper.. I would consider ACS to be my ticket to come back to axom & serve her with the best of my ability in whatever capacity I am entrusted with.. Jai aai axom
@Raghav
Though its not an expert opinion I think in G.S,approach to the answer shuold be of generalist type.If we can write down the basics of the questions without going to much in depth analysis, it should fetch you good marks.The evaluator is not a specialist in G.S paper..he would like to read a simple and understandable answer. Itz my own experince and not an expert opinion.Forget about G.S,your total marks ll simply sail you through..dnt wory.
Woh ekebarei beya napau bondhu @pranjal.. Mur ghar duliajanat.
@pranjal.. It has mainly to do with my inability to attempt all the questions.. I could attempt only 245..I guess GS is my achilles heel.. If you don’t mind could you suggest me elaborately how to go about preparing for GS..I strongly believe there is always room for improvement
@Raghav
Huda karone beya napaba..nischitto hobo bisarisu.
@Raghav
Tumi ahomiya ne?
@Raghav
Why you expect just an average marks in GS paper..it was not that tough!
Thanks @himadri & @pranjal for the appreciative gesture..
Everybody said to me that GS is the trump card in mains.. But I refuge to agree.. Any scoring subject can be considered as a trump card.. So in my case I looked at computer science to give that boost.. My expected marks are-
Computer sc-350
Sociology – 280
Eng-180
GS-140
My interview was a tale of once in a life time experience.. They asked around 10 questions on sociology, computer sc, contribution Of IT to Indian economy..
Then the best part came when I told them I served my US clients in Infosys US OFFICE for more than a year. They asked me to enlighten them about the work culture in US.
Everyone was so warm in their appreciation for whatever little I have achieved so far in my career.. No doubt I came out of the interview room happier with a sense of fulfillment & feeling high at ebb.
@Raghav
“Doing everything to increase our chances” has different connotations.So dont get me wrong.How much are you expecting in each paper?
@Raghav. This forum is like a stress buster. So some leg pulling is imminent – all in good spirit; so just chill, my friend! Btw, appreciate your confidence. You will surely make it. Best of luck and my congratulations in advance :)
@pranjal bora & @himadri saikia.. Sorry if I offended you folks with outright comments.. But having tasted a deluge of success right through my career in competitive exams like TOEFL,IIITM Allahabad, GATE I have that confidence to predict my fate in a competitive exam. I could also predict that I won’t make it to the final list of IAS merit list.. So folks I hope you don’t misunderstand me. I am overtly superstitious too..
@Ragav
1100 score will surely give you ACS.
@Raghav
How much you did and expect in Gs,Engl, and paperwise ??If you dont mind to share!!
@pranjal bora.. I am expecting 950 in mains n 150 in interview..so 1100 should be good enough for getting ACS.. I cleared UPSC mains but couldn’t make it to the final list.. Compared to that I found cce easier.. I have computer science and sociology as optionals.
@Raghav
By what statistics you are 99% sure to get ACS? Did God tell you in your dream?
@Raghab
Wow…great..You are 99% sure to get ACS. Must be know your first posting too…where is it??Plz let us know how to increase our chanches by doing what kind of things.Congratulations in advance!!
You can pray to God for some divine intervention.. And also wear a gaumet stone..
