Is the answer key 100% accurate?

130+ Prelims Marks is Possible. Only if you are guided the right way.

Unfortunately, UPSC will disclose their answer key only by May 2020.

If you need to check your answers before that, one of the best alternatives you can always depend is the ClearIAS key.

There can be minor variation in ClearIAS Key with respect to the UPSC key (due to ambiguous framing/interpretation of the context/sources used for reference). Hence, we do not claim that our key is 100% accurate. Infact, no coaching institute can always claim 100% match with UPSC key.

ClearIAS had been planning to release the Answer Key on the Prelims day evening itself. However, as many questions needed more research to convincingly mention a right answer, we postponed our key publishing date. Now, the answer key is open to all.

Can I know the all-India performance trends?

Yes, you can.

The details of all users of ClearIAS who took this exam will be available in this link.

Every time a new user takes the exam, the rank list will get updated automatically. Scroll down to find the name of the toppers and percentage of aspirants who scored a particular mark.

How Can I know the Cut-off Marks?

ClearIAS, like we did in previous years, has come up with a rank list which helps you to analyse the all-India trend of marks in UPSC Civil Services Prelims 2019. This rank-list and related performance reports will help many aspirants to have a realistic idea about the expected cut off marks of UPSC Prelims 2019.

Note: Please ignore the extra high marks if you notice at the top (somebody will always try to inflate their marks). You can, however, mention you marks as per ClearIAS Key in the comments and get into a meaningful discussion with fellow aspirants as well.

Who all can expect to get a chance to write UPSC Mains 2019?

Based on the previous trends in ClearIAS graphs, if your score is in the top 10% of marks across India (in ClearIAS rank list), you have high chance of getting a UPSC Mains call (provided you also have 66+ marks in General Studies Paper 2 of UPSC Prelims 2019; answer key for the same will be released by today evening). For a reasonable sample size, there should be 2000+ entries in the ClearIAS platform.

Last year, 4000+ candidates had entered their marks in our system. Then the cut-off turned was around the top 8th percentile. In previous years, when the number of seats and the variation of marks were high, even the top 15th percentile also got a UPSC Mains call.

The total number of final vacancies to be filled as per UPSC CSE 2019 notification is 896. UPSC usually calls 12.5 times the number of vacancies for UPSC Mains. By that logic, you can expect about 11,250 candidates to get selected into the 2nd stage ie UPSC Mains 2019 (written).

Your score not enough to clear Prelims 2019? Adopt a new Approach.

It’s time to re-evalaute your preparation methods. Don’t blindly trust any coaching institute. The old-school methods of preparation may not help you with the new challenges in the UPSC prep field.

Only those players who clearly analyse and understand the changing nature of UPSC questions can guide aspirants in the right direction. This is true not only for UPSC Prelims, but also for UPSC Mains.
