Reservation for general in Civil Services Exam

This year last general rank is 511 and the score is 1221. Last OBC is 540 and the score is 1215.

A difference of only 6 marks. Not COnsidering PH candidates


When the supplementary list known as consolidated reserve list of 192 will be operated for 96 vacancies, then

going by the past experience we can safely assume that around 80 TO 90 general candidates will be selected.

In that event , the cut off mark of general will be around 1205[. Assuming 5 candidates per mark.

Now there are roughly 5 candidates for 1 mark for all communities.

Assumption 1:

80 General Candidates and 12 OBC

For General candidates 80 candidates divided by 5 = 16 marks..

cutoff 1221-16= 1205

For OBC candidates 12 candidates divided by 5 = 2.4 marks.(r/o to 3)

Cutoff 1215-3=1212

This way we will find cut off for OBC is 1212 and general is 1205 when the supplementary list will be announced.
