All aspirants must know that there are three different sections/papers in CDSE viz English, General Knowledge, Elementary Mathematics. CDSE is conducted by UPSC twice every year. When comparing CDS 2 2013 from last CDS 2 2012, it was little tougher and also the format of questions has changed in few, this time GK was the toughest in all the three sections.
English: Few might have noticed that the format has changed for few questions, specially synonyms and antonyms were asked differently and was little difficult this time. Overall, paper was quite easier this time, specially the comprehension passages were quite easier like last time.
GK: This section is usually tough, but this time it was more tougher, more general questions based on current affairs, polity, history, surprisingly not much was asked from defence sector like earlier. Overall GK was tough so nothing new in it.
Maths: Easy like always, good options for scoring more marks through maths, more trigonometry and arithmetic was asked this time.
Overall the paper was moderate and cdse 2013 cut off may go up to 140 Marks for AFA, 125 marks for IMA, 90 for OTA and 115 for NA. Lets wait for the CDS 2 2012 answers key to come up from The Cavalier Coaching Institute for CDS-1 answer sheet 2013 and CDS 1 2013 cut off.

English=79.49
G.K.=28.35
Maths=9.36
Total=117.2
Any chance for IMA?
For all the above queries who have 90+ in Eng and GK are safe for OTA
and who have 110+ in GK,Eng n Maths are safe for IMA
scores derived from personal and friends ssb scores from past 3 CDSE n RTI queries
rest have a somewhat 80-90 also have high chance for OTA,but not sure though
70-80 sorry to say very slim chances
who have 100-110 for IMA they also have good chance for IMA this time around as GK was very tough n all
below 100 again very slim chances for IMA
I think now i have answered all the queries stated above
sir,
can u please give the information regarding the previous cut off marks??
abhilash u should first calculate your scores by .83 marking scheme in gk and english n if u did this way then u will absolutely get call frm there.

Dear Admin, i appreciate ur constant efforts.i have a doubt.Dooes the UPSC consider our CDSE marks in preparing final merit list after SSB recommendation? and how abt if the merit list is bigger than the vacancies. i mean what do those ppl at the end of merit list hv to do?
dear Admin, there are so many questions in english for which the answer key given are wrong and doesn’t make any sense when examined. Just saying…
the way upsc had designed the G.k paper was not General at all . I think they should change the name of paper 2 (g.k) in CDS instead of this D.K (deep knowledge) will suit more . This time the level of g.k seems to be touching the level of IAS kind of exams . Whereas English ..ha ha . I haven’t seen that so easy paper in cds history . maths was also easy . .. don’t have any idea about cut off 🙁 . plz let me know this ?
get atleast 110/300 nd u’ll definately get a cal for IMA

Please send me CDS 1 2013 Answer Key for English Paper 1
hey guys one question in gk paper was wrong it was a map question
plz reply
Yes it is incorrect.None of the options are matching
hi nikhil do you have any idea then what we should do?
Yes, numbers 4 and 2 ought to have been swapped.
Yes GK question standard is higher and different from previous editions. History is very deep and current affairs are very twisted, Little boon is the science section
