@Charu, very good score. just don’t worry. Prepare for Mains.
thanks a lot sir. pn sir paper tough aslene mains la patra tharaycha chance jast ahe ka ?
Dear Sir,
I have appeared for STI Pre exam. I am expecting around 70-80 right answers out of 150 questions..
I am from SC Catagory..
Do i have a chance for mains????
@Arpita, yes, you have it.
Thanks a lot sir.. But still approximately 80 right answers means 160 marks approx.
In such scenario 70 answers will be wrong. for those 70 wrong answers 35 marks will be deducted from total 160 marks. So my final score will be 160-35= 125.
is it sufficient for mains????
@Arpita, NO CHANCE at all. You should have calculated the final score after deducting wrong answers.
Respected sir my score of sti will be 200-206 and i am obc is this sufficient score for mains
@Anil, excellent score. Yes.
Sir, i hve scored 220 in PSI prelims and near abt 238 in STI prelims shall i b able to clear both the xams . I am frm open category. If so sir to whom i should give preference for preparation of mains … Thanks..
@Amit, very nice dear. Go for PSI as it gives you immense social responsibilities as well as respect and challenges in life. Never fear. Analyse each person as a human being and you will fear no one.

Hello sir,
u r saying that cut off for STI pre will be around 180-190.
Exam was harder than previous years STI / PSI / ASST (i felt so).
Earlier in one reply u mentioned that u hvnt seen question paper yet, it might be possible na that u will change ur mind about 180-190 marks to lower.
I am hoping it to be around 160.
Want to know ur view, Plz reply sir, waiting.
@Avni, there is always room for an error, so it may go down or up.
