Hello Mr P.shankar, thanks for your visit on the blog and kind words about it’s usefulness….regarding your query, I will reply accordingly:
[1] The issue of individual cut off is highly debatable and nobody sure about the exact method employed by UPSC…..but as far as I can understand the system, It is not individual cut off but over all cut off [optional + GS] which is being taken in to consideration….this means optional wise merit list is being prepared with a fix ratio for each optional….i.e. if ratio is 1:20 then in one optional if 20 candidates are appearing in PT ,then only one will qualify for mains, if 100 appearing then 5 will qualify for mains….It is a mere logical guess work …the exact method, nobody knows except UPSC.
[2] In CSE-09,Sociology paper was relatively easy so merit must be very high…I don’t know the exact cut off…but in your case your GS score was very poor…you should have attempted minimum 55 for the selection.
[3]The training aspect of Assistant commandant is good….since it is also group ‘A’ service so pay and other perks are also similar to any other group’A’ service including IPS…but it’s scope is limited as compared to IPS as you will be allotted a particular field i.e. CISF or ITBP, etc at the time of selection…Earlier the selection of Assistant commandant was done through CSE exam only.
[4]the number of Vacancies are always a temporal phenomena….It is high in recent years and will be so for few more years to come…then afterwards it is bound to decrease….further query is welcome….keep blogging….
