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.
can anyone give an idea of probable essay( topics) for english mains 2013.
Thanks Assam.
First of all congrats Mr Bimal kishore Barman for getting interim order to write Mains..You guys have once again exploded the invincibility of APSC and also exposed the mockery of the entire system..Well,most of people in this blog are so sweet that they did not have an inkling of why exam postponed..Is it just because of flood? ha ha great going..Then what about leaked papers?..The catchline of IDEA is still coming to mind..Hame ullo mat banao..
APSC postponed the GS paper of 2013 main exam due to flood. This is shameful & unbelievable. I doubt it is due to flood. If it is really flood, I think APSC should shift the exam center from Guwahati. Flood in Guwahati is common in this period of the year. OK one paper is postponed. But can someone guarantee that situation will improve in the coming days? Shifting the exam date is not a solution, they should shift the location.
GS paper cancelled, hoping english paper commenced on 1st july,
Check DY365
Exam cancelled
HAVE ANYONE EVER APPEARED WITH APSC PRELIMS WITH GEOLOGY PAPER
is there any negative marks in APSC PRELIMS
WHO LEAKED THE PAPER? AND WHY? In a state like ours when substantial proof was there to ponder that some guys have got the answerkeys much before the exam (in prelims) then no one came up..But suddenly someone goes to CID,media etc etc..that means that person posses courage, conviction and of course good connection( otherwise Tom,Dick and Herry can not inform CID atleast)..I have a different perspectve which won’t be very encouraging at this point of time for the Mains candidate.So just avoid ..Anyway almost 8 candidates filed writ petition afer one got the interim order to write the mains but court did not give any other interim relief so one guy appealed before double bench of Guwahati HC..Also now atleast 8 writ petitions pending before HC..so anything can happen tomorrow..So if any one is benifited from today’s incident that is APSC..ha ha..Hillarious.
Finally can resume my studies again…such a relief!!
Best of luck to everybody
Leaked papers are NOT GENUINE.
