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.

As per answer key provided by APSC my score in optional subject is 158 with 79 correct answers and in GS 108 with 54 correct answers and my total score is 266.I think I may expect to crack the prelims as reserved category candidate.There may be 2 mark decrease if answer key correction is made later on in regard to foreign direct investment related question.In regard to that question APSC answer key and my answer were same(Telecommunications )but correct answer should be service sector.I think 60% for reserved category can be good score.

Law question no.58. Which of the following writs is available against the decisions of administrative tribunal?

In law question no.32 procedure of amendment of constitution should be south Africa instead of cananda
In GS Paper my score is 59 and in optional paper my score is 62, I know I am not going to qualify for mains.
GS question no 40 A series
In the last decade , which one among the following sectors has attracted the highest foreign direct investment inflows in ainto India?
Ans. D service sector
because telecommunication, food processing , IT etc come under service sectors. therefore answer is not B telecommunication as provided by the APSC answer key. we all know that telecommunication has 100% FDI flow. but it included in service sector itself. and the question as asked was which Sectors. that telecommunication is part of service sector. that is why correct answer is service sector.
