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.
What is your source of information siddharth?
Mains result likely to be declared betwn 15th to 25th Nov and most probably in btwn 20-25 th.
Patience is really running out. Hope is declared by Nov last week.I wish to go with Mr. Kishorejit’s dates.
Was expecting by Oct-last . It never came.December last will be too late.
Seems from last schedules that the dates are quite erratic. Anyways is state level.

@Chao Sidhartha
Considering d vacancies alloted for oc.obc.st n sc this time n comparing them with past trends ..I put my cut off figure for mains this time(10 marks plus/minus) as follows
OC 720
OBC 620
ST 620
SC 640
@Chao Sidhartha
Result may declre in d last part of Novembr n regarding cut of this time since cut of depends a lot to d number of vacacies reserved for a particular category my own assesement is that since there r more reserved vacancies for obc dis time i.e 80 compared to 62-63 last time n less reserved vacancies for sc n st(it has been already seen in d prelims cut off this time that cut off for st n obc was same i.e 212 n for sc it was 218) the mains cut off for obc may not change by much…may b 20-25 marks more(603 plus 20-25 i.e 623-628)..n for oc,st n sc may b 30-40 marks more..this is my own view..others may chip in..
@ KISHORE..thanks for the info..any update for mains result declaration and any expected cut off for this tym..
