APSC Prelims Exam 2013 Analysis, Cut-off mark etc.
On December 29, 2013 Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) successfully conducted the preliminary stage of Combined Competitive Examination. The Assam Civil Service examination was held at 155 centers spread across 23 districts in Assam. A total of 70132 students were selected for the preliminary examination. But the attendance was low – below 70%. APSC Prelims comprised of two papers – Optional Subject of choice and General Studies. The Optional paper was in morning while General Studies paper was in afternoon shift. Here we will discuss the patterns of the two question papers and also the possible cutoff mark.
APSC 2013 Optional Paper:
We talked to several students and examined some question papers. Majority of the students we talked to commented that the optional paper was easy. But it will be wrong to generalize it based on few comments. But we examined Agriculture, Economics, and Political Science papers. The question pattern was same as previous years. We rated the question papers – average. Students with good preparation can easily score up to 90% in those papers. What about your optional paper?
APSC 2013 General Studies Paper:
Several students complained that General Studies question paper was tough. So, we examined the question paper personally. Yes, the paper appears difficult. But it was not a tough question paper. And if an intelligent student carefully approach each question, it is not even difficult. Civil Service examinations in India usually carries questions related to Constitution of India, Indian Politics, Current Affairs, Reasoning / Mental ability and Regional topics. APSC CCE 2013 was no exception. The question paper covered Indian constitution, Indian economics, general knowledge, geography, Assam history, reasoning etc. We think about 70% of the questions were easy for students with good preparation.
The General Studies question paper carried several Assam related questions (about 30 nos). We found that 10 questions were already answered on our Assam Answers section. So students who followed our site definitely answered those Assam related questions correctly.
APSC 2013 Cutoff Marks:
The Combined Competitive Examination (Preliminary) is divided into two question papers. Each paper carries 100 questions with 2 marks for each individual question. So, the total mark of the APSC CCE (Pre) exam is 400. Then what will be the cut off mark of APSC 2013? As there is no official announcement related to the cutoff mark, we can only speculate. We believe that APSC Prelims 2013 cutoff mark will be within 260 to 280 marks.
how many outsiders are there in prelims? any idea?
50 /50 hope for 220 in quota
for 220 no chance even for obc
COUNTDOWN BEGINS…!!!!
Does 220 for general hav any chance?///
Hope this time GHY HC will not halt the exam! This year is an election year and state govt should stop/pause corruption to get more votes…And only hardworking and deserving candidates be selected.
When there is a question with two correct answers (but you can select only one), the loss is for candidates who know the correct answer. Because, from my previous experience of competitive exams in Assam, I have seen that they cancel that question. For example, Gauhati High Court did this twice.
on or b4 7th Feb APSC will declare the result.
Frens, pl tell one date when the results could be declared. Some are saying mid feb and some 5th feb. And they all are saying that they have called up apsc. Kindly predict one exact cum genuine date which we all can expect for. Thanks.
Hi guys
yeah paper evalution is over,APSC ll declare the result on the 5th Feb,i.e day after tommorrow,in the
evening,on their website…guys. count down starts…..
in respect of saurav’s post i would like 2 state that there were two advtments reg 2009 cce, 1st one was in 2009 while another in 2010 & both were clubbed.
my optionals were pol science and sociology. cut off was 833 in obc
In 2009 CCE add was to fill up 83 vacancies. When final result came in 2013, 280 vacancies were filled up (Dont know how this 3.5 fold increase happened). Anyway this year number of vacancies 240. So cut off should be more than last exam…Anyway No need to speculate anything .. result will out in a few days…
Thanks Anand and Animesh for replying my previous query.
thanks for the information animesh,
What are your optional in mains? What is the cutoff for main and interview?
Anyone can sought information from any govt./semi govt/psu/ govt funded organization under RTI Act 2005 u/s 2(j).
last year i secured 126+86=212 or 53% in prelims, in OBC category and qualified for mains, and then viva. This time it may be 54-58% for OBC and 62-66% for gen.
so guys don’t worry.
today i learnt that checking of omr ans scripts was over, now members will sit together b4 declaring the results.

I did not appear in CCE-2009. I recently submitted an RTI application for CCE-2009 for general and SC category cutoff for various stages (prelims, mains, final selection). Some told me that, if you dint appear in CCE-2009, they will not reply. Is it true? Anybody went through APSC RTI experience?
