The analysis is based on our PGP candidate Mr. Navin Badge’s performance in the exam. His help in this analysis is appreciated. He is working in Bangalore as IT Officer in a nationalised bank. After the exam at Pune, he came personally to Ojhar to meet me and stayed with me for 1 day.
Expected Cut-Offs: Click HERE
I will calculate and put up cut offs for other categories in 2 days time.
NOTE: Please DO NOT put individual queries for cut offs. Honestly, am damn busy till 28th Feb 2014. All such queries will be deleted that are related to Cut Offs.
My sincere advice is to check the answer keys at MPSC website (whenever available) and calculate your score. Start your preparation for Mains immediately (even if you do not clear Pre 2014, your preparation for 2015 should start with Mains’ subjects).
sir plz upload it for RS 2015…it is latest Prelims it will provide better comparative analysis of changed pattern….thanx in advance.

Thanking You.
@Sandip, thanks dear. Not yet declared.
Sir,if the name of the exam is not written then will they consider my answer sheet or not?
@Abhi, though it is a silly mistake, I don’t think there would be a problem.
sir, after checking my answer keys my total is coming out to be only 112 😦
where did u check your answer keys from?
@Sherel, check your answers from these official Answer Keys: https://anilmd.wordpress.com/mpsc-rajyaseva/results/2014-answer-keys/

Thnk u sir.
Thank u very much Anil sir, Its really time consuming task to make such a detailed analysis.
Well done.
Take care
thanx sir
Thank you sir
Thank You so much sir
Dear sir,
Thanks for such elucidated analysis of RS 2014 prelims. It will help us to understand changing pattern and focus on those topics where we are lagging. However i guess cutoffs will be higher than predicted.
@Ashish, there are people who didn’t fare well 🙂
ha…ha….Point taken sir……
Thank you very much, Sir! And yes, we really appreciate your efforts in taking candidate like me in right direction. Your posts really help us in deciding the path for next milestone!
Thnx again!

Thanks sir. Your information is always useful. I think cut off would be above 200. because paper 1st was easy & number of vaccancies is less than that of previous year.
@Dr. Pravin, I shall revise when answer keys are released by MPSC.
thanks sir!
Verbal Reasoning killed much VALUABLE time which resulted into minimum time and Max Tension towards completion of Paper. I was looking CSAT as a scoring subject but it was good paper not the best (as I was expecting). I could solve 60 Ques. in CSAT and 74 in GS-I. Sir, by when Answer key will be out?
Irrespective of result what would be the next strategy towards further study?
Thank you sir for all your efforts towards many MPSC aspirants like me.
