How was the ISI paper today?

Hey, guys what is the expected cutoff for today's paper, both in PEA  and PEB?

[Dr. Strange]

No idea about cutoff though i found PEA level comparable to last years and PEB  a bit tougher and lengthier.How was your paper?

[JMKeynes]

PEB was definitely tougher. Was expecting one general equilibrium and Solow question, but none. PEA followed the same trend as previous years as Dr. Strange pointed out, maybe a tad higher. Anyway let's all hope for the best :)

[varnika1880]

Yes peb was definitely tougher no solow no general equilibrium .....and wrt pea no calculators no tables so lengthy stats questions....BTW was the ans for that chess board question 1/18 ?

[JMKeynes]

Yes Varnika, 1/18...

[varnika1880]

Pea must be at the same level ie 22/23 correct questions have no clue about peb it was way more difficult than last year

[varnika1880]

And what were u getting for tha probability question ...did u calculate it at least 3 boys of 6 children ? I made a random guess of .6

[Mike]

I think it should be 1/3

[Mike]

Sorry, I misread the question

What was cutoff for last year?

[Dr. Strange]

In 2014 cutoff was 83 for PEA and 31 for PEB (one of the senior from this forum filed an RTI) and I found that paper to be much easier in PEB.
No idea about last year though.
Anyways,how many questions did you attempt in PEA and PEB?

[JMKeynes]

PEB cutoff has to he lower this time. Dr. Strange, how much did you attempt?

[Dr. Strange]

In PEA I attempted 28 and in PEB I attempted 3 full and about 75% in 2 questions.
How many did you attempt?

[JMKeynes]

Almost the same here for me as well in PEB, 3 full, and 2 half, in PEA 29. But realised I made a couple of really silly errors. Hope the cutoff remains in the mid 80s range again.

[Dr. Strange]

Touchwood.  

[JMKeynes]

[Mike]

Same here

[Dr. Strange]

So I guess it all depends on doing atleast 2 questions fully correct in PEB.

[varnika1880]

Yes around 40-odd mark for peb

[Dr. Strange]

How was your exam Varnika?
