What can be an expected cut off for SSC CGL tier 1 & tier 2, 2017? Does anyone have any idea? I scored 130.5 in tier 1, but in tier 2 quant part was little difficult so couldn’t able to attempt more than 40 question( these 40 are with 98% accuracy) and in English I attempted 180+(with 85-90% accuracy). What are my chances for tier 3 or the job, I belong to SC catagory.
thanks information ke liye
Welcome.
You have given the cut off for gen as 140. It is basic common sense to understand that cutoff will be much less than that. When the time was reduced to 60 min from 75 min and also the level of difficulty of the paper was enhanced, how can you expect such high cut off marks. You might talk about the preparation level of aspirants, but expecting cut off as high as 140 for general and so is for other categories, is a mere foolishness. If you (the author) like to respond, please do it after the official cut off marks are published.
120 after plus minus in OBC, what are the chances ?
140..matlab kuch bhi
134 gen…. i was hopeful for tier 2
yes
i have scored 125.5 and it was my first chance .should i prepare for mains or just revise all the stuff for the future exams???
Please conduct a poll of ‘marks scored’ to get an idea of cut off, will help everyone
Rightly said by many 140 seems unrealistic cut-off
I DON’t think ki 140 tak jaaega… max 130… ye coal india ka MT nahi hai… in ssc bht saare stream ka banda ek saath exam dete hai… so cut off utna high nhi hoga…
your cut off expectations were spot on during coal india mt exam .
although the expected cut offs may seem to be VERY high they may be true
lets see what happens
When will ssc release response key for tier-1?
In how many days did it took them to release response key for ssc-cgl tier1 2016 after completion of exam, can somebody please tell?
cut off for general would not go beyond 115 , obc 110 and sc and st around 100 …
Wah..What a Ecpected cut off you made..don’t you have any idea of making cut off… hahaha……Hadd ho gyi ye toh…hahaha….140 gen..hahaha hehehe..Pet dukh gya haste haste….
i have taken my exam on 10th. Expected marks will be 120+-. Belongs to sc cat. What will be the chances?
I have attempted 70 questions in ssc cgl 2017 with 90-95% accuracy. I belong to obc category. What are my chances clearing tier-1?
BC pagal bana raha hai..135-140 marks lakar keh raha hai ‘what are my chances’ upar se obc ka hokar…kuch toh sharam kar!!
When Result will Come, Do you Have Any confirm information..?
We Don’t Have Official Confirmation, but Expected Soon
