What is approx. Cut off mark for interview call.

Will UPSC also upload its own Ans Keys...if yes den by what time..? @fgds @champ10rock 

plz share ur expected marks in conventional 2

The Final Verdict:-

Guys, we had a week of gruesome discussions and now its time to have a final say. People who have been trying for this exam for last 2-3 years find themselves in extremely unpleasant state cuz this year Every TD&H is claiming a huge score [Inc me 2]. Though Some of them may be genuine; Exaggeration are inevitable as most humans try to be optimistic or show themselves in 'The League' some play fake too...

In Processing Mode ... .... ... ...

I think for objective cutoff would be 282+ and for interview call cutoff would be 440+ and final selection will be an above 595+ 

As this year paper. Was tougher then previous year and conventional 2 will play vital role in final selection as even any one will have scored 350+ they will have to score good in conventional 2 350+130+60=540 in written will be good and safe score this time and finally interview will play its important role in selection.... Best of luck to all
