I have come off age for UPSC.

You might find I am discouraging you from appearing for CSE. However, that is not the case. I am only trying to tell you that if you do not concentrate and follow one path, you may reach nowhere.
you are bang on target,,specially with exams like upsc and cat,,both require tremendous amount of concentration and focus,,yet people preparing for cat are going to think that upsc is easy to crack since the implementation of csat ,,,but this will apply only for extremely brilliant candidates and not everyone

the mains , in my opinion, is the toughest exam to crack,,so assuming that one can make upsc a backup for cat or vise verse, should never be an option for a right minded candidate,,and again as palak said,,i am not discouraging anyone,,i am just stating a fact
@PalakMathur said:@PuYGuY True that you cannot rely on one exam. But UPSC CSE and CAT-like examinations are far apart and cannot be considered backup for each other. The temperament of both exams and thus the requirements are different. For CAT, I can think XAT or MAT as an alternative; not CSE.You might find I am discouraging you from appearing for CSE. However, that is not the case. I am only trying to tell you that if you do not concentrate and follow one path, you may reach nowhere.
Specially for all people who are preparing for CAT & also thinking for appearing in CSE please take decision after a full proof checking of urs ability strengths & requirement ( Sply Mains ) of this highly highly Competitive Exam
PS: The post is not meant for discouraging aspirants but to do just a reality check of their ability & strengths

In mains is there individual cut off marks or overall cutoff marks for clearing ?
cat
@PalakMathur cat and csat are different cat tests aptitude for highr level while upsc needs atleast a more than normal aptiuGuyz , Is the notification out for the next CSAT , stage 1 ?
@PalakMathur said:@civill What do you mean by higher level? Do you think only mediocre get through IAS/Civil Services? If that is the case, then I do not agree with you.
simple as that

@PalakMathur said:@prateek987 Oh really!! Do you think you don't need a good strategy to clear CSAT?
I am rarely misunderstood anywhere. Anyways....
Before posting what I posted,I did'nt go in detail what you posted on this forum....
I don't want you to assume ....that....
A) IAS is for mediocre..
B)Only someone good at cracking CAT has a chance of clearing IAS...
Peace
Last season, I scored in the top percentile and earned calls from IIMs , FMS , IITs , et cetera .At the last moment , I skipped all my interviews for services .
Seats at IIMs up for grabs: 3000 approx. (number of CAT applicants= 2L ) ; Posts under UPSC Civil :1037 (applicants : 4.5 L +) Post per applicant ka ratio nikalo to around 6.75 ata hai . The quantity and quality of hours you need to put in for civils is way way more than you would need in case of CAT
