With Mains Score, Shruti has had a winning lead
This has been an excellent show by 1st rank Shruti who secured 55 marks more than the 2nd rank Ankita Agarwal and the difference of marks between 1st and 25th rank has been huge - 91 marks.
Last Year, in CSE 2020 difference of marks between 1st and 25th rank had been only 45 marks.
Prior to this, there is a difference of only 47 marks between ranks 1st and 25th; that goes on to show how keenly contested Civil Services Examination 2019 had been.
If you compare it with CSE 2018 result, there was a difference of 66 marks between Rank 1 Kanishak Kataria and Gondane Vaibhav Sunil (AIR 25; CSE 2018).
The difference in marks at top had been 49 marks in CSE 2017 as 1st Rank Durishetty Anudeep got 1126 marks and 25th rank candidate Saad Miya Khan got 1077 marks.
Significance of Interview Marks
It is not that getting high marks is difficult in interview; candidates are getting decent marks; but there is lot of variation in score and uncertainty about your performance in interview can make or break your fortunes.
As the marks table reflect, Ashutosh Kumar (AIR 77; CSE 2021) and Kiran P B (AIR 100; CSE 2021) secured 206 marks each in the Personality Test (Interview), S Sivanandham (AIR 87; CSE 2021) secured 205 marks. This is the highest score whereas the least score is 110 marks.
For the candidates right at the bottom of the list – Davy Goyal (AIR 680; CSE 2021) and Rinkoo Singh Rahee (AIR 683; CSE 2021), both PwBD candidates secured 110 in the Personality Test (Interview).
That is why it is always recommended that your aim should to have a brilliant show in Main Examination (Written) that finally helps in your end result.
The best example is the superb performance in Personality Test by Awate Amol Shantaram (AIR 678; CSE 2021) 201 marks and R Shankaran (AIR 684; CSE 2021) 193 mark (both PwBD candidates) helped them grab a place in the Merit-list.
