Hi Friends,

I have got some information regarding cut-off mark for APPSC Group-I screening test, so I would like to share it with you all.

Andhra pradesh public service commission (APPSC) conducted Group-1 preliminary examination on 05/09/2010.This appsc group i paper contains 150 questions of objectice multiple type questions.These questions has to be answered in 150 minutes that is two and half an hour time.Each questions carry 1 mark. That means this exam is for 150 marks.Total 1,90,000 candidates applied for this exam. Out of this number only 47.5% attended the preliminary exam.
This is only a screening test which means these marks are considered only to select candidates to main exam in the ratio of 1:50. As there is 199 posts generally 10,000 aspirants are going to permitted to take main exam.Out of which 1:2 ratio is going to be called for interview / personality test.Final selection depends on Mains and Interview marks.There is no reservation or quota in selecting candidates for main exam from preliminary examination.

As per the experts opinion question paper is relatively not easy or more than average.

The cutoff marks estimation vary from expert to expert.

Generally it is expected between 75 to 85 marks.
