Depends on the relative performance, lovekesh. But considering that this year's paper had no GK or current affairs, I'd say it'll be 70 at least. JUST A GUESS
speaking of cut-offs..do the DSE ppl lower the cut-offs if the difficulty of the paper is high or does the min. qualifying score remains 40 whether or not they fill all the seats ?
Min cut off of 40 will hold even if no gen category made it into the list. This practice is followed by even ISRO which has right not to fill any seat if there's not a single eligible candidate.
the paper of DSE 2012 reminds me of d situation in dse 2010 when many seats stay vacant in general category just because students could not score even 40(as some of my seniors said)!!
hope this situation doesnt happen this time....cutoff wont go lower than 40 in any case for general category.
