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.

Frens plz share the answer keys of history…….
@admin, Thank’s alot for reply.
@Arun,
No negative markings in APSC Prelims.
@admin, is there any negative marking for wrong answers in APSC prelims exam 2014?
@Bimal,
You are right. Wrong answers definitely creates confusion. To avoid that users posting answer key should keep confusing questions blank. And in case of a mistake, he/she should correct that or request feedback by posting another reply. Too bad we don’t have the Political Science question paper. Otherwise we could have tried to solve that one too.
Site Update: We are testing a New Forum section (http://www.assams.info/forums) to give our user more freedom to post. In our forum, users will be able to create his/her own post. That would help in organizing and editing the posts made by our users. Please try our forum interface and give your valuable feedback.

@ Bimal, what are the number of candidates attended in the 2013 and 2014 APSC prelim exam?
@Bishnu, this time out of 180 post: 95 post for open category. 57 post reserved for OBC category. 7 post reserved for SC category. 15 post reserved for ST (P) category. 6 post reserved for ST (H) category. Out of total 180 post, 46 post reserved for women.
@Bimal, Manoj… How many posts are reserved for SC and OBO catg this time??
U R Absolutely “RIGHT” Bimal.
Monoj..Bishnu.no idea..I was also surprised to see that the cut off of OBC was less than SC..I think d cut off of each category depends upon two factors..the vacancies for the particular category in the adv nd the no of applicants of the category..lesser posts nd more applicants of a particular category wl definitely increase d cut off for the category…. and vice versa….right now,we can only keep our finger crossed nd hope that we all wail through..!!
@Bimal, cut off for obc prelims 2014 also remain same as 2013 is it true? But why?
@Bimal …. Do u know Why the cutoff for OBC was less than SC last year apsc prelim? Is this time also remain same for cutoff i.e. Less cutoff for OBC than SC?
Thanks Bimal.
Manish..ST-P(M-212,F-212)..ST-H(M-208,F-208)
