I have heard this theory too.

It is a matter of common sense, really. If your script goes to the examiner placed inside a bundle of poorly attempted scripts, you will be at a relative advantage. If he checks 10-20 below average answers before you, even your average answer will seem good to him.

That being said, this theory is sometimes extended even to include "passing ratios". Some say that there has been a trend to pass candidates from all centres in a fixed ratio corresponding to the actual quotas (eg if Rural Sindh has a certain quota in the final seats, they will try to pass at least that many candidates from the bundles coming from those areas). I don't know how much truth is to these theories, but I hear them a lot.
