What we observed / Analysis
1. Prelims Cut off is Lowest in last Three Years (2015, 2016, 2017) due to Tough GS paper in Prelims 2017.
2. From 2011 – 2014 Prelims Paper 2 Aptitude arks were also counted in the preparations of prelims result, so they have high cut off. I will be irrational to compare those years, with last three prelims
3. Mains 2017 – Has highest Cut off (Gen Category in last three years, on account of relatively easier papers than past.
