when general sab told me in the interview that i had gotten 41 and 42 in my english, in my mind i brushed it aside as mere bluff. however when my dmc came in i had those marks.but as we can see from other people's marks they are not very different from the rest of the people. most of the people who have passed precis have scored 42 or so in precis.
the questions is: what is the standard of english in CSS
what do they look for in this paper. this was my third chnce and in my previous chances i never scored less than 50 in this paper. so a sudden drop of nine points has amazed me, given the fact that my english has improved over the last year. a further two points decrease could have thrown me in the failed candidates list.
