@manish u should try again.Still if problem persist then it means then someone has registered using ur roll no( intentionally as i think)as registration asked for the things that one can easily find through google.it might only be a hypothesis.but if still problem continues contact upsc immediatly as days for last submission is 1st may only

hey evry1 here......... i got selected fr intrvw. and sm1 is right in saying resonance got many wrong ans. i m gettin some 410 marks hope to meet some of you guys $ gals in delhi.

Can someone say with confidence that he or any of his friends are selected with a score of < 380 ??

@ankur: hav u registered for scra, and filled its daf?? cz i cant find it on upsc.gov.in nd site z down a bit also.. thogh i found it on upsconline.nic.in, but that link z nt wrking.. if u hv already done it dn help me yr..

@raj, i got 231 marks in jee..!!

@ayush,how mch marks have u got in iit?

I was getting 311 marks a/c reso. key.clearly i did'n qualify.now iit is my only hope

Sure.. Couple of my frnd (one with gen category n other with sc) got selected.. Genral wala frnd told me he ws in btwn 360~370 range.. To greatest of my surprise 3 frnd with marks in the range of 320~350 didnt got selected.. Nd sum scra candidates are here too..( This datas r nly wht i heard.. Dont b vry certain abt it)

@ayush u said that u could find many selected students too .can
u tell there marks also as u must hve heard.see its ur personal choice want high placements u can go for iit but bhu ??? I would perfer scra .adding iit does not make u iit.still ur choice

Hy guys.. Hieee!!!.. I got selected for scra 2012 nd can find many selected candidate too.. I matchd my solutions with resonance(though some said it has many errors).. My score was sumwhr around 376.. Are my chances bright?? @ankur.. Hy bro.. I took dropout last year.. I was in mnnit,allahabad.. Ds tym
my iit went below par.. Bt hpfully i vl get admissn in bhu with civil or mechanichal.. What z ur opinion, its btr 2 go for scra(if i get throgh interview) or bhu(which has recently bcame iit)??

Please, someone who got selected, can you post your marks, so that we can have an idea of the cutoff ?

yes it is hard to find intern in foreign intitute but it is difficult even for an iitian now a days.gone are those days when recommendation of a professor of insti was sufficient.This is mostly due to dilution of faculty quality and negligence for acadamic negligence among students.Still u can go for intern if u have done something which is original and show ur dedication.Remember venki(nobel lauret of indian origin),he failed to get selected in iit and did bsc from baroda university but got admission in oxford.IIT is not ultimate believe me.

@ankur
yeah, IITians are not god, I know that. but they know how to work hard, cause that is how they got into these much coveted institute in the first place.
In my city, IIT is the ultimate thing, people feel as if it is the only place of excellence in the world.( though i feel that this opinion is held mostly by numerous aunty(s) in this city)
but, IIT is great, NO DOUBT about that. If you have to apply to a foreign place for an intern, people do not even look at your file if it does not mention IIT, that is what my friend told me, whose sister is in kharagpur.
anyways best of luck for your interview!

@rishabh
did you make it? you must have.... congrats :)

@esha...hey r u from BHU...ceramics engineering??

so ankur a big congrats for your achievement, and all the best for interview.
Well last time i was selected there but didnt make it this time. Aise me lagta hai ki mai sabse bada naalayak hu. :D

To be honest ,NO noone of them (as far as i know) is thing of having cs or elect.I asked them if anyone of them is interested because i wanted to have some company till calcutta but none of them gave slightest of interest.One person from mechancinal iit kgp got selected before joining iit but he did not go.The braches u
asked have very high packages and full of thrilling life.But i believe that it is because best brains are attracted to it.U can get highest package too if u are interested in ur brach and take right decisions at right time

@ankur, OK you are planning to go for SCRA as special choice. Will a person having CS or elect in IITKh plans to join SCRA. What is the placement packages in these branches in IITKh or other main IITs. If you have any idea.

@CMG My answer is IT DOES NOT MATTER AT ALL.i am looking for scra because i want to join mechanics and i could not change brach in iit.It does not mean that iit is bad aur SCRA is bad .People should go for there on choice.For mechancis i would prefer scra becaues its curicullum provide practicles sandwithed with theory that is hard to find anywhere else as far as i know.@echt U should not underestimate urself.IITIANS are not god.Some of them are really bright,but others are there simply because at some point of time they worked hard.Anyone can do whatever they want if they work hard for that.I can bet it wont be iitian who will score highest because someone not in iit must have worked hard for it.

@ankur
congrats!
I was getting 290 according to resonance, so, quite naturally, I did not make it. I mean when IITians like you are in the fray, where people are claiming to get 400, what chance did I have?
of course, i did not work as hard as i should have and, as a result, I got what a useless wanker like me deserved.

I have a friend ( who does NOT belong to privileged class) who was also getting 360. I am sure that he must have got in, but I can't confirm that as I haven't had a word with him.

A very hearty congratulation once again! best of luck for your interview :)

@ankur. Are you studying in IITKh. Now you want to come in SCRA?. According to you, which is better, B.Tech from IITD/Kh/B/M/K in good branch or SCRA

SCRA RESULTS ARE OUT CHECK ON COMMISSIONS WEBSITE

@Genuine
helloooooooo

So people claiming for annonimity of their marks FORGET IT.Nothing is personal in front of google.I got DOB through it.

@abhinav.Though u did not tell me marks of the candidate but by trial and error i got the highest marks of the candidate of scra 2011! He scored 326 in written and 136 in interview.Jai ho google ki.

I dont think it is still easy for selected students.one friend of mine from general category claiming to score 300+marks is NOT SELECTED!however one from obc is selected.I think people claiming marks more than 400 is true.This time many bright persons appearing for jee also appeared for exam so this is gonna be tough this time

I got selected! Others who are selected please post there expected marks on the basis of keys by resonace or aryan classes

ha ha ha mera selection nhi hua ........................

Tushar was right... I did not get selected :(
A hearty congratulation to all those 158 candidates who made it.

best of luck esha! I hope that you have a great time at jamalpur.

@Genuine
finally got the letter ... relief....
have you got your letter ?

scra 2012 written result declared..........everyone can check their result upsc official site

@dhruv
did you contact UPSC again? when is the result coming?

Oh thanks for this info ankur. I just now searched that the admission procedure is via IIT JAM, and requirement for msc is a bachelors degree. Tell me do they also take via JEE score, for bachelors courses?

I thought that i shall be easily in but in other forums students were claiming to score more than 400 .And u asked about msc.Its matter of choice and inclination.According to me best institute for research is IISC .IN IIT situation of masters in science degree is not good.It is basically because of lack of quality faculity of science and lab facilities.Maths and computing and some other courses are masters of science for name only.It is heavily mathematical brach with application in computing .That is why it is growing at an enormous rate.this year its closing rank has seen jump of 700 and 200 ranks in iit kgp and kanpur respectively.But as it is highly mathematical take it either if u have interest in maths or u are ready for hard work (and that will pay obviously),not if u want to enjoy the stay in iit.This year this brach is 3rd highest paid brach in terms of placements after CS and ELECTRICAL.However other msc courses offering pure sciences are offring poor results both in terms of research as well as placements.If u are keen on joining pure science brach better go for ISI(indian institute of statistics )or IISC bangalore and there is nothing wrong in that .Those people are also paid highly and they get satisfaction also

hey man ankur, calculated marks to bohot mast hai aap k, agar itne aa jaye to shaayad selected ki list me top pe aap ka naam hi ho :). Btw plz tell me more about joining an iit for msc course. Through jee or some other link.

NO.it is there .look in current brochure of iit jee.its code is G046.Its is a msc course in kharagpur.Different iits award mtech and btech also

ankur.,,i checked the branches in diff. iit's but could not find a maths. & computing in iitkgp.is this possible that certain branches do exist without prior enlistment??

Is mathematics & computing not a better alternative to cse??which branch is best in iitkgp?

u need to score good.cgpa is the criteria of change.genereally more than 9 is required .But dont think of joining by thinking of brach chage latter.different brach have different cgpa requirements for brach change (like for cs it is well above 9.4).Also different iits have different rules.As far as i know it is most difficult in kanpur and easiest in kharagpur (personal view only).

@ankur,,Plz tell me the criteria of branch change in iit.

according to reso key i am expecting 380.But who knows ?I have heard that there is quite a big difference in expected and calculated.@raj ya but difficult,not because it is difficult!but because i can bet that u wont study for branch change once u enter there.Though this is applicable only for iit kharagpur

@ankur;hey bro,is this possible to change branch in iit..???

okkk bro. how much marks have u calculated this year?

INTEREST .I am interested in mathematics not computing and i find that faculty of mathematics is not much rewarding .Furthermore i got inclined to mechanics which is highly demanding in maths.Every subject has IMMENSE SCOPE .no subject is exception

but y?? i heard that there is immense scope in cs and that too from iit. why u want to leave???

At present i am in iit kharagpur maths and computing student.But i want to get transferred to mechanics

what are u doing now??

i was not selected though i scored 110 marks in interview.i also appeared for scra 2012 .Most of the people are claiming marks above 400 .so i want to get the general trand of marks to be assured of getting selected.that is why i am asking for marks

and may be there will be no scra again in 2012. january vale me jo ho gaya bus vahi is saal k apperentice honge. :(((

ankur with those marks u'd b selected if u got about 100 marks in i.view. :))))

i.view tak to 2011 me hum bhi gaye the, but thats not sufficient. if u r d one selected with the lowest marks then u'll not get recommended even if u get 200 marks in interview probably. the written exam matters much more.

And how do u claim that i got 34%.my marks were 89 in maths,85 in physical sciences and i dont remember about general sciences though i remember that i scored somewhere around 260.If u still dont want to disclose the marks then at least tell that whether they are comparable to 2010 marks or more or less?

i qualified in scra 2010 december.so giving no is useless .i know highest marks of that year but i want to know highest and lovest marks of 2011

@ankur if u was written qualified,then can you send me your roll no. N dob on my mail add. abhinavsaxena479@gmail.com. so that i can check whether you actually qualified or not bcoz i dont have faith in your words that you got 34.5%.

And why privacy is required???If u are selected then who cares for marks?My opinion is that only those people who exaggerate there marks shall have problems with that.I disclosed my marks though i was selected only till interview ,no problem with that.

If u know the link then can u tell what were the highest and lowest marks in scra 2011 in all categories .For privacy u may tell only marks not the name or roll no.

when will results come???

"UPSC ka site down" not "UPSC ka sit down"
damn, this is stupid :-)

yeh kya ho raha hai? aaj dopahar ko UPSC ka sit down tha. tpo maine soch ki at-last yeh log SCRA ka result upload kar rahe hain..
but it turned out to be a recruitment advt. :( WHEN WILL THE DAMN RESULT COME?????????????????????????
if you look carefully at the advt. it is meant for employment news, like any govt. thing. the issue in question is next issue i.e. 12th to 18th May. So i guess that we will have those results after 18th or maybe in june or NEXT YEAR. WHO KNOWS??
please excuse my impatience. I am a student just like you guys and I'm fairly certain that you can sympathize with me.

hey frinds this is abhinav kumar, glad to tell u all that u can still check last year marksheets. Though upsc has probably removed the official site link, u can reach there using links provided by a coaching - 'aryan classes'. But b patient, took me atleast 3 attempts to reach the page.

shashwat, right, this abhinav is a haox even this Rahul is abhinav himself, posing himself as rahul...the link is broken because upsc has removed the 2011 results database from its site/ page missing...

@abhinav
peace :)
the link is still not working. maybe that is because "The server at upsc.gov.in is taking too long to respond."
in other words, the site is currently down.... maybe they are finally uploading SCRA results, who knows????
and your link appears to be correct, cause as per the final result list of scra 2011, arvind kumar meena was indeed the last candidate on that list, and his roll no. is 009166 and judging by your link, i'm fairly certain that his DOB is 12th april 1994.
maybe the link will work, when site comes back to normal.

again, no offense man. peace:)
but why did you post the same link twice?? one time is sufficient.

@shashwat,are you physically impaired.
The link is absolutely correct.you must be careful in copying that link.
I can disclose marks of many other but it would be violation of privacy.hence i will not publish anybody's marks here in public.Believe it or not...
Its true..

Thank you Abhinav sir for telling me the marks of
arvind kumar meena.
I have received my marks also on my email address.Thank you again for telling me my marks.

yeh result kab aayega?
I'm impatient

I don't know that. sorry(
however,in my opinion, they should (rather will) select (or take) the candidate, if he/she produces the relevant documents.

@shaw
oh thanks Mr. Shaw for your attention. Can u please tell me one more thing, will they necessarily take the provisional candidate if the required documents are produced???

@abhinav
why are you posting an invalid link again and again?? and marks of Mr. Meena are not of a great importance because, as the name suggests, he doesn't belong to general category.
why should we send you our roll no.s ? it is clear that you are a hoax.
@rishabh
how are you?? when are you appearing in bitsat? mine's on 16th

i m disclosing the marks of last candidate who was selected in SCRA 2011.His name was Arvind kr. Meena.Click on the following link to know his marks:http://www.upsc.gov.in/cgi-bin1/SCRA/Marks/scra_wq_marks_response.pl? roll_no=9166&dd=12&mmm=Apr&yyyy=1994&Submit=Submit If anyone wants to know his marks in SCRA 2011 or SCRA 2012,send the following particulars on my email address abhinavsaxena479@gmail.com :Your year of exam i.e. 2011 or 2012,your roll no.,Date of Birth,category i.e.gen,obc,sc,st, and your email addresson which you will receive your marks.If you gave SCRA 2011 paper also,then send your scra 2011 Roll no. for fast processing else it would take some time for processing.For privacy reasons your marks would be sent to your email address only and would not be used for any commercial purpose without your permission.

@abhinav
In my opinion, "CANDIDATURE PROVISIONAL" means that the candidate will be selected only if they produce relevant documents which will prove that they have scored appropriate marks and (if they fall under "privileged classes") then they produce a genuine copy of that "golden pass" ( cast certificate)

in the same way as i found each n everyone's
Marks in scra 2011 i.e of 42 candidates @def

can any one please explain to me the meaning of "CANDIDATURE PROVISIONAL"???

How can u give marks ov scra 2012 @abhinav ??

i m disclosing the marks of last candidate who was selected in SCRA 2011.His name was Arvind kr.

:( :( :(

I called again,now they're saying wait till monday evening, or tuesday morning. Cant help it :/

results are still unavailable. I hope that dhruv is right and we get the results today, but I guess that this "dhruv" is also a hoax :(

@dhruv
are you sure? when will results be out? at mid night or in the morning? can you please mention the time if you know it?
I sincerely hope that you are giving us an authentic picture, well, we'll know that tomorrow...........

End of discussion. I called up UPSC, they said result will be out by tomorrow, 11th May

wat can we do :( .. juzz wait n wait n wait

Bt today also the results are not out.whn the results gonna be out????

nope :(
we can only know that once marksheets are out, and that happens after the declaration of final results.
when will this damn result come?? upsc is truly acting like a srakari organization, and like our trains are usually late, even this result is late ; but trains do not get delayed to this extent.
the notification stated that results would be declared in march/april...... IT IS 10th MAY today !!!

Guys....,any idea about the min. marks required to qualify the 1st round of scra....

we have had abc saying result will out on 8th may and chanakya telling us that we will get to see the results on 10th may.
then maybe someone else may say something else, a new date.
i hope that this drama ends soon and we will have the results tomorrow.

hey guys is there any mews about scra 2011 MEDICAL result.

result will be declared on 10th may..best of luck guys for your selection

@abc,def
stop this abcdefghij.. nonsense. will it kill you to post your real name??
results are still not out. I believe that they could come in the next issue of employment news i.e. 12th may or so, since they sre not in this issue.
whatever, results will come when they have to, nothing much can be done or said about it, till then.

@abc . . R u sure ?

results are out on 8

When will result come???

@Genuine@esha
i think you have cleared your exam in 2011 itself


haven't your classes started yet ????????????

when will the result come??
I have had a look at 2011 notification. It stated that results would be declared in November 2011 and UPSC honored their notification that year.
parbhai aur kitna time lagegea is bar? results of civil services main exam are also out now. maybe we will have the results soon.

@rishabh
that is awesome! I am getting a very low score, compared to you....

@esha
its ok yaar...chill! i understand that, n shudnt have asked again n again, actually i just wanted wanted to know the source of info so as to get its authenticity..nothing else.. :)

@shashwat
aieee was fine.
getting 290 by reso ans key

@rishabh
patience.
It will be out around 10th.
That is MY guess, and the source of this information is me and only me. If you look at previous years' pattern, you'd also think that result will be out around 10th of may

In 2011 SCRA on 31st July and results were out on 18th November i.e. 3 months and 18 days later.
in 2010, SCRA exam was held on 19th December and the results were out on 11th April 2011, 3 months 20 days later.
in 2009 SCRA exam was on 26th July and the results were out on 4th nov 3 months 10 days later.

I may have calculated the time lag of results incorrectly, but you get the drift...

accordingly exams were on 29th Jan this year and results will come around 10th May.

Hey I have just repeated the information given below, and maybe this a bit too overly reaction to a possible mere expression of impatience which many (including ME) can sympathize with.
Anyways please be patient, what else can anyone say?

btw, how was your AIEEE? It is okay if you do not want to post about it on a "public" forum :)

@Genuine
i'm sorry if you felt that i was being "too loud" about it
actually you see its exasperating when the same question is put up again and again (ie where did i get the info from) and i've said the same thing in my previous posts that i said on 3rd
again sorry if that hurt you

when is the damn result cmng????????????????

@esha
yes, i definitly know dat railway ministry does nt have only SCRA candidates to deal with, but being one atleast u had only SCRA to deal with. also, its not a a very big task if u cud have sked it to them. n anyways, it was just a query from my side, a simple one..nothing to be too loud about. n again i say, its good if we receive the letters soon.

@esha and 'genuine'
thanks for leaving a reply (even though it was not intended for me)

@Genuine
i hope you know that railway ministry does not have only scra candidates to deal with so obviously i didn't ask them
i got this information from one of the ppl whose nephew joined scra last year he said that now that the final year students are leaving we will be getting our letters in this month itself

@esha
n u STILL didnt tell me from where u r creating perceptions regarding the arrival of the letter. HAVE YOU CONTACTED THE RAILWAY MINISTRY?

@esha
ok..i to m hoping fr it to come as soon as possible. yes, m preparing for my end semester exams. n wat abt u?

hey whenever results of SCRA will come, they will be on upsc.gov.in
Results are not there, which means that they are not out yet.

Such nonsense by Aman Jain and company must stop. Please do not play with student's feelings.

SCRA RESULTS ARE ANNOUNCED, VISIT ................

http://rojgarsamachar.gov.in/

Your page/site is good.
One suggestion is, since your are the old student people will look here for the total information, that is after SCRA, how the life is, whats their immediate position.. their structure (salary..other perks...other infmn reg.job), and their prospesective positions how they will grow ..with time gaps... and maximum level reach. The information that is given by you is most what it is in prospectus.
Also you can comment in comparing with the latest trend that is facing by the similar youth and the changing tastes.

Another important one should observe is the very lengthy time UPSC?SCRA taking in admissions starting from Date of Examinations Final admissions. In meanwhile students would invariable have to take decision of their admission in various institutions that would have been completed before the time (JUNE of every year!!)

@Genuine
i said by the end of May it may (and so I hope !) come earlier

if you don't mind may i ask you as to what you're doing now as in preparing for your exams or ..

by the way any news on the routine of the SCRAs

@esha
wow..thats good if our classes will begin first. However i have contacted a few people in jamalpur and they have told me that the classes of 2011 n 2012 will start together..but if ur sources are better and true then i am really happy..! anyways, as far as the letter is concerned, mine have told me that it wud come somewhere in my beginning...have u contacted the railways ministry regarding this...?

@santosh
if the candidate has cleared the medical then the letter will be sent to him/her by the end of May

@anonymous
no the classes of only those candidates who have cleared SCRA 2011 will commence now
itna intzaar kiya hai hamne, thoda toh 2012 waalon ko bhi karna chahiye !

@raman
I have asked for the result of medical test which was held from 22th feb to 24th feb at delhi. (Not for the results for the interview)????

what i beleive is dat the classes of students from scra 2011 &2012 will commence on the same date i.e. in july.

@santosh
what? SCRA classes haven't even started! that is too much. results for the interview were out on 9th Jan.

When will the result of scra 2011 medical test will come out????

@karnichak
I guess that you are talking about Sachin Tendulkar being nominated to rajya sabha.
I do not know if he is incapable of being a politician, but it is definitely a fact that he still wants to play a lot of cricket.he was quoted quite recently saying that he wants to play the next world cup.
read this blog ( you may have already read it)

http://ibnlive.in.com/blogs/bhupendrachaubey/213/63423/an-open-letter-to-sa chin-tendulkar.html

I am no expert on politics, but I follow it keenly. My only contention is that he may not find time to sit in the parliament and attend Rajya Sabha proceedings for he obviously has a very busy schedule.
Well it shouldn't matter much because not much work happens in parliament anyways. Our legislator's job is to pass legislation. this is what we vote them for. this is what they get paid for ( by our hard earned taxpayer's money)
BUT KEY BILLS ARE SIMPLY STALLED IN PARLIAMENT.

I had to use uppercase, because it is so frustrating. One gets angry when his/her servant does not do the job of cleaning the house properly, similarly I am extremely angry at these public servants a.k.a MPs.
Delhi is gripped in a policy paralysis. Files are moving at a snail's pace. Parliament is simply a tamasha for 24*7 news channels.
you are faced with discouraging economic figures on a daily basis. India has got so much potential but that is not being en-cashed. We have shot ourselves on the foot.
agreed that you can't grow by leap and bounds when europe is in recession.
Maybe as Ruchir Sharma of Morgan Stanley has put it quite simply that we,a had got used to 8-9% growth which happened during 2002- 2008 and thought that India's time has come, and we can go on like this forever and we will always rock.
But that euphoria was not unique to India. Every asset, every country grew at a frenzied pace during those years. to quote him ' It was a high tide which lifted all the boats'. hence India had this phenomenal growth at that time.
Now that 'high tide' is gone our growth has slumped back to pre-2002 levels of >6%

to generate that high tide you need second generation of reforms. More than that, you need a Government which does its job of taking decisions. you need an opposition which does not oppose to things they would have done had they been in power. You need people to talk SENSE.
You need a cabinet which functions as a proper cabinet where PM is the boss. In this govt. every minister runs the ministry like his own personal fiefdom. Coalition partners think that they 'own' their ministries and can do whatever they please with them.
I strongly think that we should have a presidential form of government because the current system of cabinet form of govt. is being simply butchered,humiliated and exploited in every possible manner.

I can write on and on and on about this subject. But I remember what my history teacher told me once ( too bad I never had the pleasure of studying under him) " politics is a game of intelligent to keep fools busy."

Maybe I fit well in that category of fools. Yes, I have no qualms in saying that I am an idiot :)
That is why you have tushar saying
"waise bhi webadmin bhi nahi dyan de rhe hai is blog par log ab faltu ki comment jyada karne lage hai............"

yeah, that is what I have been told, that focus on your study buddy, politics and such stuff is useless.
It is this middle class apathy to politics which is very, very bad.

@karnichak
this is what people will tell you, focus on your study, prepare for SCRA, get into jamalpur, get out of jamalpur, then have a good career at railways and don't worry or think about politics because it is too bad and nasty for us english speaking moralistic middle class kids.
For if you talk about this stuff and don't study then
"aur yha par apna result wale dyan rakh l kisi ka bhi nahi hona hai ye mai 100% kha rha hu................."
you have been warned.

what a shame!
I am glad that you are concerned about the world around you and I want to thank you for providing me a chance to write something on it.
I'd however, like to tell you ( as well as to myself) that just don't speak, do something about it when the time comes.
Just do not sit and crib about it. Try a hand at public life, maybe that will make us ( definitely me) appreciate the difficult job that these public servants have to do.

Study well and do something good like rishabh and do not let you jee become a disaster like mine was.

I have a question for 'genuine' and esha, have their classes at jamalpur started?? Please leave a reply.

Politics is ruining our country . Cricketers are welcomed in politics even they dont know anything about it .
Politics has become so cheap that in order to save their sinking ship they use dirty weapons by welocming incapable persons in the politics.

@echt
thnks fr ur wishes
i sincerely feel u hv given very valuable comments on the forum and i do wish u make it to jamalpur or any other place which has the best future for u.

well its besides the point but what is ur real name????

I agree with this anonymous, though only on some points that some stricter restrictions should be placed.
It seems that people have deserted this forum.Maybe we will see some activity after SCRA results are out.
I don't think that people are performing publicity stunts here.

@Rishabh
All the best! I hope that you get into NUS! I think that you will.

also I want to sincerely apologize to all if my comments have ever 'misguided' you. I think that they shouldn't have.

I also believe that 'esha' and 'genuine' have got there letters. Maybe that is why they have stopped posting their favorite question "got the letter?"
I wish them all the best. I hope that they have a good time at Jamalpur.
This will be my last post. I will post again only if I qualify SCRA. Though going by tushar's prediction ( read imprecation)
it is unlikely that I will get in.
let's see.

@anonymous
You are absolutely correct.

This comment section is growing dangerous. Misleading people. i think it's being controlled by spambots. Maybe a single person is posting all these comments with Different Names. Maybe people are performing publicity stunts here. This comment section must be closed, lest some newbie is misleaded by the wrong information provided here. Or,
some stricter restrictions should be imposed on who must post in comments here.
See, even I can post a comment in the name of anonymous!!

@Unknown
I totally agree with you. although 'echt' does not need to request webadmin only, Mr. tushar can execute your request too.

If my statement is factually incorrect then it can be removed.

@anonymous
whenever SCRA result will come, it will be on UPSC site first.
I visit that page EVERY DAY.The result is not out.
Please do not post such useless comments.
I request webadmin to remove those meaningless comments..

@anonymous
i have hv chcked the emp news and no result is there.
pls. be factual and give correct info.

@ anonymous
I am reading this blog since a long time. But I have never seen this type of fucking matter. You should not play with student's feelings.

scra result is out in employement news! :)

scra result is out in employement news! :)

scra result is out in employement news! :)

@rishabh
I agree with 'aspirant'.getting a scholarship will be tough.
But I believe that you will get in there because you are going to have a 3000-4000 rank in JEE besides a 94+ score in boards.
NUS takes JEE rank into consideration, you must be knowing that.
I do not know much, but as I researched before on the admission process at NUS on the internet, I guess that it should be enough.

I have no idea about this chineese quota though.

nus is anyways very tough.
but i'll be wid ntu which is also not far behind nus.
@aspirant
how did u get to know abt the reservation in nus.
is it also there in ntu???

@ rishabh
this year the intake at NUS is loaded in favour of chineese ... they enjoy 70% reservation this year.... you see NUS changes its focus on countries... two years ago it was india (2012 saw some 80 odd students making it to NUS)..
however f you happen to qualify JEE u will get mercy admission into a vocational branch at NUS ... however you might have to face some competition for scholarship!
best of luck!

hey has anyone among the SCRA 2011 selected candidates received the letter???

@shashwat
yes i have already applied to nus and ntu,
even smu economics for back up.
shashwat nus has some wonderful scholarships available,
making the cost extremely low eg,sia-nol scholarship which reduce the cost to Rs.0.besides there are edu loans which start repayment only after u bag a job.besides singapore is the best location for indians.no racism(as it is multiracial with lots of indians),one of the most developed cities of the world and very close by to out nation(unlike us or uk).

yes i have applied to bits,aieee,vit(which is tomorrow).

@rishabh
dude, that is awesome. I believe that you want a branch like CS or electrical at Bombay or Delhi, which is why you are terming 3000-4000 rank in JEE as a debacle.
About profile of selected candidates in NUS, you can search the net and see what you get.
but man, the last date for application there was 1st April 2012. have you already filled the form? I hope you have.
you are getting a great 94+ in boards. that and your jee rank will definitely book you a place at NUS.
NUS is an awesome place. it is much better for engineering than IITs. It ranks in top 20s for engineering in the world.
You will definitely make it ( if you have filled the form).
but the only negative aspect is money.
with tuition fees + living expenses at 10 lakh per year, not many can afford it.
I most certainly can not.

and by the way congratulations for making it to iits. I scored a pathetic score. It is much below 35%. completely, utterly, totally hopeless. And I feel the same about SCRA the way you do.though judging your assessment in boards (94+) and IIT , you are going to get in SCRA.
are you giving AIEEE and BITSAT too? any other exams in your kitty? I am curious.

@rishabh
if you're confident about you iit and board results then you stand a good chance of getting through scra too

thanks shashwat
i am expecting a rank of 3000-4000 in iitjee besides a decent 94+ board result.
now after the iit debacle i sincerely hope to qualify for national university of singapore.can anyone inform me about the profiles of previously selected candidates.
p.s.although i am hopeful about the scra result but with what people have said abt the exam on this forum or other places ,i have started counting myself out.

@rishabh
yeah, the notification clearly states that results will be in march/april.
Let us hope that UPSC honors it. However, I must say that going by the past history of upsc as @echt has posted below, results are expected in May, if history is adhered to.
Results will come when they have to come, my speculation will have no effect on it whatsoever.
I don't know man, predicting the date for results is like predicting the results for next general elections (which I guess, will be in 2014) :)

@shashwat
when do you think the results will come??
the notification clearly mentions march/april.
but some people are saying that it would be out by may.

@rishabh
you are right. I had posted the marks of harish mahadasu and swadhinta das on this forum before. but swadhinta had made her disquiet known and I asked webadmin to remove that 'objectionable' post of mine. In her opinion marks of the candidates should not be made public without their consent.

I believe that ( as Tushar has already said) many questions in SCRA had multiple answers.Hence answer keys of aryan classes and resonance can not be completely trusted. Moreover, UPSC is such an experienced organisation that the difficulty level of the exam can be assumed to be nearly same every year, for the simple reason that UPSC has been conducting this exam for such a long time.
I may be proved wrong, lets wait for the results.

from where we can get the list of scra 2011 medical test qualifiers?

hi,i completely agree with what mr.tushar has said.
i manged to find marks of harish mahasadu
roll no.=134480 and dob=02/07/1993
he got only 325.
thus i strongly feel that the claims of scoring above 400
or 350 are completely baseless and have eroded the purpose of discussion on the forum.i also feel that the webadmin who is himself an scra should participate more in discussions on the forum.

I just noticed it, earlier the comments made by Tushar were not clubbed. now, they ( 3 of them) are together.

hence, he must be someone close to webadmin, or he is an alibi for webadmin, who knows?

@palak
agreed the tushar effect

where have people gone? and who is this Tushar, every body becomes silent when he writes on this page.
I do not know about webadmin, but I liked the discussions that happened here.

arre, jo bhi baat ho, do not desert this forum.

And I do not by this 100% guarantee of tushar. let us see what happens... btw, why didn't he typed his comments in a single post ? why use multiples? maybe to create the 'tushar' effect wherein everyone stops posting on this forum.

@tushar
hello! can you please tell us who are you? are you a close pal of webadmin or a manager of this site or a teacher at a coaching class for scra or a student or just a simple commentator?

@ALL
yha par comment karne mai to sab SCRA qualified hai
bhaiyo may tak intjar karo result aa jayega
aur yha par apna result wale dyan rakh l kisi ka bhi nahi hona hai ye mai 100% kha rha hu.................

@ALL
waise bhi webadmin bhi nahi dyan de rhe hai is blog par log ab faltu ki comment jyada karne lage hai............

tushar is back........................

and raising the maximum qualifying marks is not correct as , in up board very less student get more than 80% marks and bihar board is also not far behind it. this means very less student from up or bihar board would able to get a chance to appear in IIT enterance exam

but according to me 12 marks must be included as most of them neglecting the importance of 12th board and to several types of coaching who already ruining the future of many.
In coachin there are 100 students studying together, which is just a waste of time for those who are preparing for IIT-JEE.
but the thing is that there must not be a single paper of IIT containing AIEEE also

sorry for the grammatical error, which i am sure you must have noticed.
it is "careers" not "carriers".

IIT is a top brand college of India......the pattern should not be change....if there is a commom xam then competition comes to an end.....the level of IITs is very high

@aspirant
I meant a SAT like exam, happening 4 times in an year, with scores valid for a particular period, with which you can get admission to many colleges.
but that will NEVER happen for the simple reason that colleges make a lot of money by conducting their own entrance exams and more importantly, people do not even like the thought of change in the system.
they say that IITs have given us so many great men and women who have excelled in their carriers. hence, many argue, that IITs should be left out of this business of common test as they are an institute of great stature ( no doubt about that), this common test thing should apply to others.

but i have a premonition that this common test thing won't happen, even if it is called for, even when you have a report by prof. Yashpal (ex-chairperson of UGC) revealing that a student can take as many as 400 entrance exams after passing 12, this won't happen as people are highly averse to sense in this country ( it seems)

what may happen, is that JEE and AIEEE will be combined, at best.
but that won't solve anything.

@echt
dude SAT aint that good an option because it wouldnt single out talent .... take for example the leveling effect of water...
though i believe that the admission process should start once one enters 12th and must definitely consist of an interview so thatr the professors can themselves look out for those willing to contribute to technology!

@karnichak
may I ask, who constitute 'most of them' ? your friends, i guess.

regarding changing pattern of JEE, well I can't say much about it as we do not know what the final picture is going to be like.
All I can say is that board marks should not be given such a high weight-age as that is not practical. you can not have uniformity in the level of examinations conducted be CBSE, ICSE, West Bengal board, UP board, Maharashtra, Andhra, Chhattisgarh borad. no statistical formula (which is proposed to be devised by Indian Statistical Institute) can ensure a uniformity.
In my opinion, the best thing to be done is to combine JEE and AIEEE, ensure that IIT organize the exam and set the question paper.
OR, carry on with the present system and raise the minimum qualifying marks from 60% to 80% (as is the case in BIT-SAT)

the thing with the common entrance exam is that many private colleges and state boards do not want it because for the simple reason that a lot of money is made in these examinations, consider the fees for these exams :-
IIT - 1625
AIEEE - 900
BITSAT - 1600
VITEEE - 900

SCRA - 100 (only!!!!!!)

So you can see that many organisations, particularly the private ones, will lobby against a common test.
Of course, it is an expenditure to conduct an examination, but still, a LOT of money is made in this process.

And, I have a feeling that a common entrance exam of the likes of SAT is definitely needed in our country, but that may never happen, because it seems ( this is my perception, which may be incorrect) that people do not want sensible things to happen in this country. Look at the mess the railways is in today, look at the way our govt. functions, with every minister running the his ministry like his own fiefdom, in turn, making a complete caricature of cabinet form of govt. in this process.

Lets see what happens.I'd like to read others opinion on this issue.

i just want to ask you all that are you satisfied with the changing pattern of IIT-JEE

but most of them are expecting , that result most probably will be declared by the starting of june .

although it is true that in 2011 notification for SCRA no 'likely' or any kind of tentative date for results was given.
the notification can be seen at the following

http://www.contentcarry.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/SCRA2011-E.pdf

in 2010, SCRA exam was held on 19th December and the results were out on 11th April 2011, 3 months 20 days later.
in 2009 SCRA exam was on 26th July and the results were out on 4th nov 3 months 10 days later.

accordingly this year exam was on 29 Jan and results may come during 10th to 20th May.

@dushyant khanduja
notification explicitly states the results are "LIKELY" to be declared in march/april 2012.
In 2011 SCRA was on 31st july and result of the written exam was declared on 18th November i.e.3 and a half months later.
So it is a reasonable assumption, that results this year too may come after three and a half months i.e. around 15th May.

anyways result will come whenever UPSC declares them and one shouldn't be bothered much about the date when it comes.
I hope that you are proved correct and that UPSC honors its notification and we can have the results in April itself :)

Why are some people saying that the SCRA 2012 result will come in May? In the exam notification it was written that the result will be declared in March/April.

@karnichak
no i didn't appear for scra 2012

@Vipul
scroll down and have a look at the earlier posts.I am telling you, NO one can predict what the cut off is.It is like, as mentioned before, predicting the results of next general elections, or guessing if genuine [who is in NIT Trichy, respect:-) ] or esha will ever reply to my query ( i admit that the latter point is irrelevant).

results will be out in may, just wait till then, or else you can read the otiose posts present below pertaining to this question and you will get no where.
Wait for a month or so, results will be out :)

thanx esha , did you appear for the scra 2012

Tell me about the expected cut off for scra 2012 xam

@karnichak
after the written exam comes the interview and then the training
@genuine
got the letter ?

thanx you all,as i have very little knowledge about scra, can you tell me after qualifying its exam what will be the next step,or what will be the further process

@karnichak
esha is correct. though i can not say much on this subject as i haven't cleared SCRA.
oh and btw you should ask Mr. Tushar- the undisputed, impeccable, erudite encyclopedia of SCRA.
he can tell you a great deal about the marks that the selected students score and that kind of stuff.
it is really sad to see him being absent from this forum :(

In my opinion, have a look at previous years papers and get thorough with NCERT books. it will help :)

@karnichak
just a month of dedicated preparation is needed in order to clear SCRA
the level of questions is definitely not like IIT or AIEEE but they certainly need some practice GAT is also fine as long as you are an avid reader of newspapers
ALL THE BEST !!!

@karnichak

ask genuine and esha, they have cleared SCRA!
I hope that they will be kind enough and leave a reply for YOU.

no actually i am student and i just want to know the pattern of scra exam , in order i can prepare well for it

@esha
did u asked any officials about it...???

hey can you all help me how to prepare better for scra

@genuine
dunno what time but it will come in may

@genuine, @ esha @rp
you guys cleared scra in 2011,and still your course hasn't started or has it? i am a bit confused.
please be kind and leave a reply :)

@esha
How are you so sure about it? and by what time in may will it come?

@rp
the letter will come in May

kisi ko letter mila kya?

In a such interesting conversation on IITs and all, it is quite ironic that Mr. Tushar is absent, after all he can be quite a lively commentator.
I agree with @the fake tushar ( you really need to scroll a lot to read comments on this page). where is he? i'd like to know his opinion on this issue..

*corporate ( the previous comment: last line 3rd word from the left :p)

my own chacha (iit kgp eclectrical) and mama (iit d cse) have carried on with their passion for technology though my cousin iitk(mechanical) chose deutsche bank! my mama initially chose to serve in army(signals through cds) however had to give up on it due to family reasons but hes now the head of a top notch networking firm ( this firm has undertaken various army networking projects)... so u see its not all iitians who choose to enter cooperate world however my cousin landed up in the bank because he got frustrated of mechanical (he wanted cse)

@aspirant
woah!woah! you are right.
and thanks for posting that article...
but not ALL iitians get into 'simple' corporate life. I have a cousin brother who graduated from iit kanpur. He is working in delhi, in some IT firm along with his friends , just to save enough money to start his own business of designing apps for mobile phones.
another guy from my city, who i know well personally, graduated from IIT bombay received his phd in physics few days ago in USA. he is doing research there. ( I don't want to name them as it is not my prerogative to disclose their details)

Helping offshore firms sustain recession sure needs an iitian , the supposedly india's flag bares for technological supremacy ?
Well in that case im wasting some time in even thinking of replying to such claims!
I would like to mention that i hold nothing against IITians. Its just that earlier people wanted to be doctors because they wanted to serve and engineers because they wanted to build or create however of late its all boiled down to over esteemed vile trash people call cash...

IIT B
Vision : To be the fountainhead of new ideas and of innovators in technology and science


Mission : To create an ambience in which new ideas, research and scholarship flourish and from which the leaders and innovators of tomorrow emerge

Trading stocks,marketing,venture capitalism come nowhere close to these ideals.
I was just curious to know how many IITians who go onto do MBA actually want to work for Indian firms and if they work for overseas firm how does it add to Indian glory apart from the fact that a few indians are taking care of themselves?

@IITians
I want to thank you for your opinion, and particularly, for pointing my wrong points :)
i am just an 18 year old, who has to appear in mighty JEE in 9 days from now. I do not know how a workplace works but I just thought that after doing an electrical engineering, then an MBA then selling biscuits or tooth paste or working in a big profile banking or consultancy firm may kind of less use the engineering knowledge, gained at iits.
Regarding my point about 'nobody wants to be an engineer'. well, maybe I was being a bit paranoid here, but a lot of my friends who will be at iits have no clue why do they want to engineering. It is just that, everybody does it in my IIT crazy town ( no, I do not live in Kota) and people just follow the herd.
It is because of that human psychology of living in a flock, very few dare to not move along the herd, very few take 'the path less traveled by'
That is why you had Mr. Narayan Murthy making the comment that 20% students at IIT are excellent, rest not so good. I guess that you can make such a statement regarding any institute...

Either to go for SCRA or IIT or any thing else - is pure individual choice. Of course govt. jobs have lost charm and SCRA also lost the charm. roughly 30-40 % of SCRA pass outs leave railways - but the remaining stay with railways and work for it. A railway officer job has far more challenges both technical and managerial and requires matured evolved people. Sometimes it is thrilling - sometimes it is frustrating. I can keep on writing - rather I will make a separate post on the issue in the forums.

"We can not compare an army job with a Microsoft Job - it's all individual choice."

Glad to see some serious discussion - but here data seems to be getting cramped- I request members to use Discussion Forums if possible. Details on the page

We are students of an IIT and are pleased to read the comments on this blog. We are thankful, in particular, to 'aspirant' & 'echt' for their healthy opinions.
However, they seem to be slightly wrong on certain aspects
1. When US advisor to state visited Indian firms and saw their growth, he came up with the conclusion that iitians (after pursuing mba) are a big helping hand in India's growth. They 'do not rubbish their engineering prowess'in any way but use it more efficiently thus helping firms sustain recession times.
2.What is this echt 'nobody wants to be an engineer' ?This is very sad to read. If that is the case iits will lose all their glory the very next day.people with that attitude are thrown out of iits.
We have nothing against you .
Cheers!!!
(to be continued with regards!)

if parents can lend support to the wards and instill self belief in them im sure they will not come under social pressure of letting go of their dreams for ex: someone who wants to do electrical will not take up metallurgy just because hes getting that in a reputed iit... moreover when they choose the field of their choice if parents are encouraging im sure the ward will not care about what he earns but will carry on with the project (maybe research, teaching, social work etc) which makes him happy! however he will find such fields satisfying if he knows what he wants from himself and not what the world wants from him and it is this self realization which requires the support and care of parents!

@aspirant
i and i am sure Nariyan Murthy meant top 20% of the students at IIT not the top 20% of jee rank achievers..
and I didn't understand what you meant by parents bailing out their children. can you please explain that??

and you are right. it is very unfortunate that 'success' is judged by your package. but what to do, they say it is kalyug...

top 2% can stand out any where in the world!
iitjee 2011 rank 2: Shubham Mehta and rank 5: nisheet lahoti had been training at resonance right from class 7!
do u understand what that means 5 years of investment to achieve what is mean to be achieved in 1yr 7 months sure they will stand out anywhere in the world and mind you im not saying cream doesnt get into iits ... one of my friend was iiio gold medalist and imo camp participant... he didnt make it to iits but got into mit.. so what im trying to say is this: though there are still brilliant student who get into iits the standard of average iitian has dipped ( mind you any institution/organization/country is judged by the standard of commoner not toppers...) moreover how can these brilliant student flourish when they dont get branch of their choice as their AIR does not permit them! Yo got to have vocational education system... its like telling Brian Lara in old days not to take up batting because West Indies had plenty of top order batsmen...
As far as doing an MBA is concerned well the system is to be blamed... because a student is forced to study something he didnt want he obviously has pretty slim chances of carrying out research and after all success in Indian society is unfortunately judged by the college you attend and the kind of package you land up with.. so the poor souls have nothing better to do other than joining iits (against their choice of branch) and doing MBA... only parents can bail out guys from such situation by conferring their support but how many actually do that? After all we all have neighbors and relatives dont we ?

@echt
it is true that iit is not what it used to be, thanks to the mentality of the students and their parents and the coaching institutes.

@aspirant
standards at IIT have fallen because of students. nobody wants to be an engineer, everybody wants to be an IITian. ask any aspirant what branch he wants to do engineering in, why is he so crazy for engineering, and the majority of them have no answer....
Narayan Murthy, the founder of infosys has said that the top 20% at IIT can stand out any where in the world, but ssame cannot be said for the rest 80%
after all more than 40% of engineers who graduate from IIT do an MBA later, thus kind of rubbishing their great engineering prowess.. as a job after an MBA fetches big bucks... but one is forced to ask what is happening here?

coaching classes, misguided students, persisting parents, well the entire SYSTEM is to be blamed....

@esha
thanks to you-know-who, railways will head towards bankruptcy.
read this article written by Sultan Ahmad, MP of TMC in business standard dated 14th March 2012

http://www.businessstandard.com/india/news/should-rail-passenger-fares-be-r aised/467585/

He says that if govt. can bail out air india, ( which it has not) it should bail out railways too. you get it, they will push railways into a corner, into such a sorry state, that it will need a bail out.your and mine hard earned taxpayer's money will go to subsidize our railways.
The govt. of india spends over one LAKH crore on oil subsidies, 80,000 crore on fertiliser subsidies and just 50,000 crore on sarva shiksha abhiyan.... What is happening here? in the name of over populism, compulsive populism, people are not talking sense. In the name of protecting poor, fares are not increased even after 10 long years, WHEN INFLATION INCREASED BY 300% and freight fares are hiked constantly, in order to shield aam admi from a just and actual cost of rail travel. As a result he is burdened with high inflation, who cares about that? these leaders are so concerned about poor aam admi. never mind that this practice raises the price of essential commodities like food, oil and so many other things.
So what, they say. Never mind that rail travel is an non essential commodity as it is planned well in advance.our leaders say, we will continue to subsidize rail travel increase freight charges and burden the common man with inflation.....

railways are running on an operating ratio of a mere 98%. i.e. only 2 rupees are left as surplus for every 100 rupees railways earns. in the previous fiscal year, railways had a turnover of one lakh crore and a surplus of a mere 1000 crore.
How do you expect new projects to crop up in such circumstances? You need modernization in railways, you need safety equipment for all of that you NEED MONEY.

and here you do not even have money to run railways, so much it has been forced to subsidize. this year railways had to take a loan of 3000 crore from finance ministry to balance their budget.
You are absolutely correct esha, railways will NEVER go bankrupt, cause it is much, much bigger than air india and many other loss making PSUs that govt. runs, it will never go bust, govt. can't allow that as it has 14 lakh employees.

but then in a country that aspires to be a superpower, you can not have stations and trains infested with cockroaches and rats. you can not have food and trash piled on tracks. you can not allow your passengers to bear the wonderful aroma of human shit, whenever they have to wait for their train, after all we have been defecating on the face of our nation, thanks to railways.

please, esha, I know that railways will always be there, but the rumor that it may head towards bankruptcy is NOT baseless.

As a matter of fact, it is heading there at full speed thanks to you-know-who, She must realize that she has to run a govt. not campaign as in an election the way she is doing now.

@ aspirent
I totally agree with you. spot on!

seriously ppl what is this nonsense about railways heading towards bankruptcy ? it is and will always be there, not owing to some stupid tradition but because it is invaluable to the masses so please stop spreading such baseless rumors

@jensen
railways are and would always be evergreen in india. The current scenario may indicate otherwise but that is a temporary issue. Indian railways has seen and has successfully recovered from these kinds of situations before. Talking about scra; you dont have any right to enforce your opinion(which according to me is wrong) on others. And regarding your opinion that scra is merely keeping alive british tradition, one can surely say that the britishers atleast did some good to india railways and thus scra being major examples

contd...

at least here you have the general ability paper and the interview which gauges the overall personality of a candidate something which jee lacks... 12 lpa (a very good salary for starters from iit) compared to say 40k (not sure abt exact starting salary) is still a loss cause in private you have to take care of a lot of things housing, conveyance etc.. not to mention the insecurity these jobs instill in you.... lastly if a person thinks that he shudnt be joining something because its a loss for him (the case is different if you are not interested) then trust me no matter where this person goes no matter which organization backs him, he will never be able to make it count because fearing failure is equivalent to accepting mediocrity!
nothing personal bra!

yo Jensen.. theres nothing wrong in believing what you think is correct but stop being a dickhead by trying to enforce your stinking baseless notions onto others..
What did you say.. scra engg degree sucks and some tradition think... brah y dont u bite this: "IITS have lost their glorey due to the screwed up coaching industry...you dont have to be intelligent to get through all you need is those prep classes right from class 8 with a hell lot of willingness to give up on childhood...coming to ur research crap...IITs have never been renowned for their research work..they have been known for the cream they wiped out of masses via JEE which used to be subjective... ever since the objective pattern has come into picture the profs arent happy with the lot they get! By placements I am sure you mean pimping the stocks cause core placements suck of late..(i do not consider verbose coding for an it firm to be core)...guess what the govt has realised all this and decided to get rid of the TRADITIONAL JEE..
Now coming to SCRA.... no matter how easy the paper is as compared to JEE (though of late even that aint the case... 60 tough questions in 3 hrs to 300 moderate questions in 4 hrs)

deputation in place of deutation

why are we discussing on scra. it is the one of the suckiest engineering course in india. indian government is conducting this exam not because of requirement, but because of tradition left by british people. i am surprised to see that some of very intelligent minds are willing to join scra instead of continuing in their well reputed college.students will only waste their talent by joining irimee.students studying in iit,nit,dce should continue their study from their college because there are good placements,research and good faculty in their college,students in these college get many times more money than scra passout(untill they are not corrupt) and there are no future prospects in railway because it is heading towards bankruptcy.
many of guys in my dad's office who recruited through deutation basis are from railways because they got frustated from non stop transfer throughout country and workload.
btw railway recruit (can recuit) enough mechanical guys from enginneering service examination.

where have people gone?
this place used to house great discussions, sadly people have left it it seems...

@tushar
when will scra classes start???
when will result for 2012 come?????????????????

WHERE ARE YOU?? please,answer soon!

@tusharji
when will the scra 2011 classes start ??????????
pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tell asap

will the real Mr. Tushar please stand up?
i repeat, will the real Mr. Tushar please stand up?
we have got a problem here.

@dushyant
Ask Mr. Tushar-the expert on SCRA

@dushyant
Around mid of may, i guess.

Does anyone have any idea when are the SCRA 2012 results gonna be declared?

in the name of populism, does you-know-who want to wreck SCRA too?
of course, SCRA has turned anti-poor cause only super rich come into it, right?? <sarcasm implied>
it is against the 3 M's and hence must be scraped....
Railways is proceeding towards its ruin. 'green' light has been show to it.
God help us!

maybe i am being a bit paranoid here.there will be no scra in 2013 as railways does not have more vacancies.
they can not modernize as in the name of populism they are forced to spend 20,000 crore in subsidizing passenger travel.
With an operating ratio of 98% how can we expect them to hire more people for non feasible modernization and expansion plans, when it has been robbed of its money?
I have immense respect for the actual guys who run railways, how they do so despite so many constraints is really commendable.
that is why I wanted to join this organisation as the challenges here are manifold, and there is so much more to do...

and recruiting 100 workers makes a more populist,pro poor, pro-aam aadmi statement, right?
if you can recruit 100 gangman at the cost of 40 officers, then why not do it?? ( i am definitely being paranoid here)
it is all about populism...

@webadmin
if these comments will either jeopardize you or your job ( i hope that does not happen) then you can delete it.
I do not want you to receive some crazy show-cause notice on my account...

Help!Help! railways needs your help!!!

@tushar
how can you be so sure?
there may be no SCRA exam in 2013, but surely there will one in 2014....

@tushar
naa hoga baas !

ab scra ka exam band ho gaya hai koi nhi rahega kahin par
naa baje gaaa baas naa bajegi bansuri

Mr. tushrar ji..
janab, why don't you respond to the query of genuine and esha regarding stay at jamalpur??
I believe that you knowing almost all facts about getting into SCRA also will have some clue regarding their 'genuine' doubts.

I too have the same doubt.
WEBADMIN, please answer...

@genuine
okay. i get it. :) you do NOT need to be sorry about that.
i am sorry for pestering you incessantly, unnecessarily.....

@Genuine
uss letter ki koi khabar ???

@echt
Well, webadmin knows who i am...He has my email id... :)
Anyways, i'm not neglecting ur query...its just that i don't want to disclose my identity...yun hi... i don't like it... anyways, sorry for that.

@kashish
SIR LAMHAAT SHAW

i am NOT webadmin, just a stupid teenager.

@genuine

why don't you tell us who you are? perhaps webadmin wants to know who you are, i reckon. who are you? why do you want to be anonymous??
i believe that you will ignore this query too..... 'geniune'ly sad :(

Webadmin, sir, where are u?? We all are so desperately waiting for your answer. PLEASE ANSWER THEM IN DETAIL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE...

by the way who are you mr echt

who are you Genuine??
why don't you reveal your identity?

and ask these questions to Tushar ji . i think that the SCRA encyclopedia can answer your queiry.....

@Webadmin
please tell us whether all this is true

@Esha
huh! that is terrible, i mean not the part of physical exercises but that of minimum sleep...Damn! how are we going to tolerate that..! Please WEBADMIN, answer it and say that all that is false...!

@Genuine
i have heard( only HEARD ok !!!! ) that at least during first year ( first month being the toughest), the student are passed through much hard work. E.g. Only 4 hours (12 am to 4 am) sleep per day, running (as much as 25 rounds of ground in order to gain membership of club) and other physical exercises for 2 hours from 4 to 6 both morning and evening (total becoming 4 hours a day) , whole day long workshops and no laptop allowed.One has to memorize about all scra engineers of past 10 years in the 1st year.
@Webadmin
Are these facts true ?

@esha
Yeah i saw them...and in fact yaar, its cool that there are so many facilities for sports...anyways, the video song is quite old. There might have been changes in it.. also, i would like to ask that the thing showed for the morning i.e. running upto the hills and exercise, is it going on now too..?? And for that, how early are the people required to wake up?

@Genuine
seen the video song ?
@Webadmin
itne games khelne padenge ! is it compulsary ?

@webadmin - and wat abt the accomodation for girls, sir?

The routine more or less is represented in the video song - listed above..

Please use discussion forums - so that it will be more organized and useful....

@genuine

what are you thanking me for, dude?

oops...you are not a dude, you are genuine :p

@webadmin
scra 2012 result kab aayega guruji ?

@sajal
Thnaksss yaar...:
@esha

hey does anyone knows wen d result of medical of scra2011 b out..???

@rp
i was told this by a person whose nephew joined SCRA last year

Sir i really wanna join Indian railway plzzzzzzzzz help me to join in mechanical engineering in railways

@webadmin
when will the new session of scra 2011 start at jamalpur?has anyone received final letter issued by railway ministry?
@esha
on what basis are you telling that classes will be starting by july?

@Tushar

Happy Holi! Glad to see you back on this forum. Wassup??

@Genuine
sorry :)

Hello Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@esha

I didn't find your name in the final list of scra 2011..
Considering the case of 'genuine', i believe that it is a reasonable corollary that esha is not your real identity....

@esha
I am sorry i wouldn't like to disclose my rank as it would mean a disclose of identity here. Anyways, if u get updated with anything regarding SCRAs, their lies, routine etc. then please do share it here.

@Genuine
thanks. the earlier the letter comes, the better it is !
may i know your rank in scra if you don't mind

@esha
Currently I am in NIT Trichy from where im pursuing my B.Tech course. as far as the final letter is concerned, i had asked the hospital authorities who told that the letter will b home in aorund mid- april...

@Genuine
i'm doing b.sc. from lucnow university right now.
where are you doing b.tech from ?
according to the people who had taken the medical we will get the letter by May, do you know anything else about this ?

@esha
Sorry for being so late in replying you. even i don't have an idea about whats the routine etc..
well, right now, i'm enrolled in B.Tech Mechanical Engineering program. Which program are u pursuing right now and from which institute?

happy holi !!!!!

@esha

thanks. i'd like to hear more from you. please write to me at shaw9211@gmail.com if you get time.... :)

@sajal
koi baat nahi :)
the classes will start sometime in july
ALL THE BEST for your boards and scra !

@sajal
koi baat nahi :)
the classes haven't started yet :p
they'll start sometime in july

oops..... the last comment at 10:31 a.m. is by me.
i entered the wrong name. sorry.

@esha

sorry dude, not selected, yet :)
i appeared in scra 2012 and am writing my cbse board exams now. i have my chem paper on 13th.

you got selected in scra 2011. i presume that your classes must have started. if they have, can you please share your experience?

i'd like to know.....

@sajal
are you selected in scra ?

i just wanted to know about the dates at which the SCRA classes start at jamalpur, and do candidates get any vacations ?

Mr. tushar will have answers to these questions as he appears to be a very learned man regarding SCRA.. but sadly he, like many others, has simply disappeared........
where have people gone??

@ swati. From which cateogray you belonged? Becoze scra gives 3yr. Rel. For obc and 5 yr. Rel for sc/st.

@sajal
no i've beenselected in scra 2011(31/07/2011)

@Genuine
i was thinking about what exactly the life as an scra is like you know the daily routine and stuff. do you know anything about it ?
also i wanted to ask you which course were you enrolled in for this year.

My date of birth is 27-05-1991.can i eligible to give july 2012 scra exam

@genuine
there?

@esha

you have been selected in scra 2012. right?

@esha
Yes... :)

@Genuine
I too was thinking about the same thing
are you a selected candidate for scra 2011?

Sir, do the girls also get accomodated in the Jamalpur Gymkhana or are there different hostels for them? If yes, how far are they from the main centers like institute..? and also please tell, do they also avail all the facilities of sports etc.? Please tell sir.

my email is annusingh2013@gmail.com

sir i am sc. and i checked my this year's solutions and m getting 89 marks all over.is there any chance of selection in scra? please reply me on my email.

UPSC takes 4-5 months to declare the result. So result would be out in May-June

Sir,can u please tell me about which date will the results of scra 2012 will be declared

sir please elaborate on the student exchange program, boarding and food while training

@Sjal Forums should be a better place to discuss and have fruitful conclusions :) any way it's visitors whis whether to use or not to use.
The SCRA stipend should be roughly more than 11,000/- per month during Four Year Engineering course. There is no need pay any fees or buy any books and boarding is free. But you have to pay for food.
Now-a-days the top four people of SCRA are being sent to Ireland on student exchange program in their final year.
The salary after four years will be roughly 30,000/- per month initially ( this is the highest initial salary you can get in Government jobs i.e Group A/Class I package)

@ webadmin

folks aren't using that forum sir.

arre... where have people gone?

Mr. Tushar where are you? when will results come? mid of may i guess.

@webadmin what is the exact salary and stipend for scra now

Medical result will be declared on the same day generally..

Medical result will be declared on the same day generally...

@Webadmin
when is the result of the medical test declared ?
is it declared instantly or after some days ?

scra result kab ayenge

Cutoff is decided by average score and fr avg, u must know the score of all the candidates who appeared, which only upsc can do...so stop argument and study fr iit.....

to tera kitne marks aye????????

scra results declared

@priyanka
next exam will be in 2013 as no info is given for another scra in 2012 calender. next SCRA could be in 2014 also depending on the no. of vacancies announced by railway board.
@lalit
from where did you conclude 40-45% as cutoff score? in my opinion cutoff score simply can not be predicted.

when is the next scra exam to be held

Is there any answer key other than those uploaded by resonance and aryan classes?

@lalit
dude, from where did you arrive at the magic figure of 40-45% as cutoff score?

@anonymous: in the instructions on SCRA ques paper it was clearly written-''all questions carry equal marks''. Each questions has 200/120 marks=1.667 marks!! Or in other words for every three questions done wrong you will have to forfeit the marks you earned in a single question that you did correctly.

there is something wrong with the marking scheme. 200 marks for 120 questions dont fit well. is there unequal weightage of marks assigned to the questions?? plz someone reply.

@Lalit
Thanks a lot..

@shaeq
the cutoff is around 40-45% for a candidate from general category

@Lalit

I am pretty sure of my score..Can u please tell me what is the cutoff for a general candidate?

@shaeq

don't be nervous because all those 350+ ones are just boasting
if you're sure of your score then you'll undoubtedly be selected

Someone please reply!!

I used Resonance's answer key..

@Shaeq
which answer key did you use to calculate your score?

Sir,I am getting around 252 marks in the written examination..
General Ablity-106
Physical Sciences-72
Mathematics-74
Please reply asap!!I am getting nervous after hearing people saying that they expect 350+ scores!!Was the paper that easy?Please relieve me of this pressure which is creeping within me asap!!

please tell me about the actual stay in scra what is it like

@s-d
i reckon DOKKA SATISH belongs to reserved category. that is why this candidate got selected at such a score and the candidature is provisional.

@Webadmin dekhiye ki aapki site par kya tamasha chal raha hai and please do something about it

@ronak prateek,@esha ,@shivam,@palash saxena,@punit,@lucky,@minnie... which colleges r u in and r u on facebook? and has anyone got d medical letter yet??

sorry for the grammatical error:
"what marks did you finally get?"

@anonymous
can I have your email id?? i would like to talk to you. how much score were you expecting after the exam?? what marks did you finally got?? please reply
shaw9211@gmail.com

im in Netaji Subash Institute of technology and doin cse yes i hav an fb account my id is facebook.com/pawandeepbakshi

last year i attempted only 45% questions in SCRA, but somehow still got selected for the interview.

Is there any new information about SCRA july 2011 qualifier's medical test. please notify me, if any!!!

@pawandeep singh : which college r u in? r u on FB? and i have also not got d medical letter

i hav calculated my marks i got 280marks will i be selected . When will the result will be anounced

@aspirant :
exaggeration or showoff won't lead anybody anywhere,its better to try and make this site more informative than just making fun of each other..............
and as far as cutoff is concerned let us not decide it ourselves and leave it as an UPSC affair.............

speculation is the root cause of all evil...its just a question of 3 months and then all those who get selected can brag about their marks ...right now i have just 1 thing to say stop speculating and wait for the results..history has it that the written cut of is in the range of (33-40)% ..so those who have scored around 200 dont get disheartened just hang in there and you will come to know what fate has in store for you!

scra 2011 qualifiers pls post which collg u r currently in.......btw has anyone got medical letter?

@ all............. m getting a 325 around in OBC ,,,,,n acc to experts my score can dip to 250 around ,,,,,,,,,,, any chances ???? ,,,,,,,,,,,, and also is it necessary to qualify individually ??? plz guide :)

When will the UPSC publish it's official answer key?

what r the qualifying marks for general category

@akshay
bhai seriously agar tumhe lagata hai ki tumhare 200 tak aayenge to bhai muskil hai kyu ki yaar hamesh se hi expectation se hamesha kam hi marks aate hai......but agar tumhara luck sahi rha to chanc hai

i am scoring 200 marks in scra 2012 exam. i am from obc category, can i qualify written exam.

hahahahahaahaaaaaaa

me getting 600 total all right

exam nahi halua ho gya hai sbke liye jo bahar gate par bat rha hai...........bhai aur koi hai jisko 450 marks chahiye .

sabhi to topper hai bhai jo log 200 ki ummed lagye ho bhai bhool jao sare to yahi select ho jayenge..............

bhai is baar cutoff 550 jayega kyuki sab to 400+ score karenge....

@sahil

what are chances ????? when is resulted expected????

sabhash tushar aur sabhi log baki logo ka muh band karne ke liye

agar aap log itne hi confident hai aap log apna roll number is blog par show karo jab result aayega to sab jaan lenge ...........
isiliye jyada overconfident mat ho...............
resul aayega ............tension mat lo...

bhai log yha par mat lado.....
@shashwat
bhai jaan mai aapko batata hu ki 2010 ka kis liye itna high gya tha kyu ki us samay iitian bhi exam mai baithe the aur 2011 mai iitian nahi baithe the.aur aapko pta hona chahiye ki 214 log select hue the 2010 mai jisme se sirf 189 logo ko hi interview ke liye bulaya gya tha jisme se general category wale sare iitian the
aur OBC wale bhi. sirf kuch SC and ST wale hi iitian nahi the
ABHINAV SONKAR ne yhi kha tha ki uske lagabhg 418 no aayenge lekin uske itne nahi aaye uske sirf 215 hi written mai aaye the ye bhi iit kanpur mai tha. sare qualifier yahi kha rhe the unke mutabik kisi ke number nahi aaye.
aap log to FB par to hai hi to khud hi kyu nahi jaan lete un logo se..
bhai log upsc ke kisi bhi exam mai aaj tak koi bhi written part mai 60% marks nahi laya hai chahe wo civil services ho ya IES ya fir SCRA................

@akshay
yes they really have attitude problem but they also have hell of a brain

@tushar
how can you be so sure? i wonder....

@aastha...
Ur.frnds r in.biggest dilemma...SCRA is nt below dignity...they hv attitude problem...IITians.also fight for IAS n IES...n.SCRA is the same line....hahahahaaa...its jst their excuse bcz they cnt make.it...n bout IIT..th that th tym vil tel...about their selection...my wishes fr such creatures

@akshay
you may disagree with me but those people are my friends and they have not givdn the paper as they thought that it was below dignity to give scra as they are a sureshot selection for iit

@tushar
i totally agree..wid u...:)

@dhruv
bhai tum dekh lena ki agar kisi ka 360 se jyada nahi aayega
2010 ka bhi itna hi easy tha ....

mujhe aisa lagta hai ki iss baar paper kafi general tha aur questions ki length aur answers find karne ka process bhi chota tha to iss baar students may get 400+ .however i ve calculated my at least marks 350+ so i think my chances are very low.

forget it coz results will be declared 4 months later and there are many more papers to go.

bhai log tension mat lo inme se kisi ka nahi hoga ye mai guarantee leta hu 100% hahaha

@Ram
i do agree with u regarding the fakeness of the ppl's prediction...
@aastha....
its impossible to score 500...in the given amount of time....
u give the paper to any IITian also....n give himm twho hours he cn't do....n 450 is impossible....n about dis site...th ppl who r posting things r jst fake....dnt get hyperactive and wait for the results....i bet..cut off will be not more than 300....

I can predict the cut off for SCRA 2012 seeing last few years average cutt off. and that will be around 50%. Candidates who are calculating their marks 350+ or 400+ are fake. They are not serious at all.

Sir , what are scopes after clearing SCRA and what is the status of SCRA engineers as compared to an IITian or NITian.

I dont think 450 is impossible because i know people who can get above 500 in a paper of this standard on any given day
@akshay
i dont think my selection is sure because thre are so many people who are getting more marks than me on this site only and there would be many people like them getting above 400 though i am dead sure about my marks

Many physical science answers are incorrect in the answer keys. Like there was a question given on potential energy of an oscillating particle at displacement 'x+y' when PE@x=E1 and PE@y=E2. The answer given is; PE@(x+y)=(E1)^0.5 + (E2)^0.5 which is dimensionally incorrect!
And do you really believe that anyone can get 450 marks! Initially I too had calculated this much but after goin' through each ques once again I identified many silly mistakes I have done in Physical Science paper due to time constraint.

@rohit.what category did your frndzz applied in???..
N 450 is almost impossible...cutoff for general will be around 300..every year aftr exam ppl boast lyk hel about their marks...as they nvr tick their paper same as theor OMR sheet..so jst wait for the results n see...bcz in 2010 paper was of same standrd n ppl were boasting more dan 450..bt akhil jain the topper got 401..n al were below 350....n cutoff after written was 27%..check aryan classes site...
@aastha...if u hv ticked n u r sure for 375...then no 1 can stp ur selection...:)

Five of my friends are getting 450+ (based on aaryan classes' answer key). So I agree with Aastha, cut off would be atleast 400.

This year's scra paper was very easy i being an average child am scoring 375 which i have calculated from answer key and i know my marks are correct as i had ticked the options on my question paper which i have filled on omr so i think my chances of selection are very feeble and the cutoff would be around 390-400

Many of the english answers in resonance and aryan classes answer keys are not correct, so the GAT is quite unreliable....there are many questions whose answers are depend upon perception,like those in unseen passages (though i got them all correct acc. to answer keys, the UPSC may not have the same perception)...so I think its better to just wait for the result now than to fluctuate withhin different answer keys...atleast 4 the GAT...:):)

Any one think 400 can be achievable as last year also many one posted their posted their number to be around 480 but what happened everyone knows.

I think cut off would be around 320.

Risabh o want my answer where did you calculated your number from .are you only joking.

Please everyone should post his comment for cut off.

I think cut off will be around 330.

waah rishabh waah!! scra exam na hua joke ho gaya!!

In general

i m also getting desperate 2 see d medical letter.if anyone gets d medical letter please do post..

this medical is so annoying. the last date has come and gone and there is no sign of that letter.

Total 355 mat :151
ps:- 123 gate:-81

@aastha...
What category did u applied in???

It's 375 mat 143 gat 95 ps 133

Guys let's all calculate our marks(for Physical Science & Maths) from a common answer key. Let's choose Aryan Classes answer key.
And calculate General Ability score from Wikipedia or any other search engine.
Please post your grand total with individual subject marks so that we can have a clearer idea of the cutoff.

Sir when will upsc declare its official key.

Can anyone tell me about how cut off for scra is prepared.

Risabh as you are saying resonance answer key is wrong how do you come to know your total .

Sir i think resonance answer key is mostly right when i cross checked from wikipedia i got almost same answer.

Sir there is any chance for me scoring about 350 in scra.

hey guys i m getting 473 out of 600....in SCRA 2012...
resonance answer key carries many errors...
i m in general category..is my selection sure??
or highest use to go more than 500??

@aastha..
which category u applied in for SCRA 2012??
n wt is ur estimated score???

By which date are the results announced

@esha.....evn m worried abt da same....do post it if u get

when will the medical letter come ?
has anyone received it as yet ?

@ankur:
i fall in gen category.
i hv checked my answer frm resonance solution. However i hv cross checked with aryan classes. both were same except 4 one clash which was in english(general ability paper).
Not only that i have checked my GK solution from Wikipedia.
Now what r my chances?

check this out
http://aryanclasses.com/SCRA/SCRA-Special-Class-Railway-Apprentice-cutt-off .html

any of the scra 2011 qualified got d medical letter yet???????

Hello sir, I am a general category candidate and I appeared in SCRA 2012 held recently. I have calculated my score from some institute's answer key and it comes out to be 235/600 [39.66%] with 100 in GA, 50 in PS and 85 in Maths. If at all the answer key is to be believed ( though i know they are unreliable most of the time), is there any chance I could get a call 4 the interview?? Please reply...:):)

what was the final cutoff (outof 800) for scra 2011 for general cat.??

@ankur

2010 mai tumhara interview kab tha
fir mai batau yaar tumhari detail mujhe to nahi mili.....
mere pass 189 students ki detail hai but tumhara naam nahi hai

@ankur
both i and my friend fall in general category.

Was SCRA 2012 tough??

guuhuhuhii

@shashwat...
u and ur frnd have applied in which category????
@ayush...
what category u applied in????
regarding ur claims for hw d prediction is high n marks r les...then let me tell u bfr this year not mch ppl were interested in making business about SCRA n no answer keys were uploaded anywhere...so may b u and ur frnd get wt u r expecting...
@dewansh...
i agree...don't check ur GK solution on resonance...search indivisually....n resonance answers r almost wrong in physical sciences and english...maths is almost correct...so plzzz solve problems and estimate....

hy.. i m getting abt 380 in scra.. what are the chances of selection??? are they brighter??

DO NOT check ur gk answers frm resonance.,check individually,each question frm any search engine or wikipedia.

i appeared in scra 2012. i am getting a score of around 290+.

i just wanted to share my doubts with you regarding cutoff marks. how is it possible that people's predictions are screwed to such a large extent every year??
how is it possible that people seriously estimated their score to be 400+ for last year, yet their final score plummeted, to such a large extent? i find it really incomprehensible.

@ankur
did you also verify your answers last year with resonance or some other institute's solution and then arrived at a figure of 375+ or was it a guesstimate done only by you?

i have a friend who referred to solutions provided by resonance and is getting 370+. he reckons (and i agree) that some answers are not up to the mark and his score may even reach 390 if resonance corrects errors in their solution.

in such case,and considering you past experience, he will definitely make it in.
i just want to know my odds, which in the current state seem very thin.

@ankur..general category

@dewansh...
its okk buddy...if u r expecting 400+ then u r selected for sure...because u vil at least land up in 300 to 320...n wt category u applied in???

@ankur .... maybe u r right ...it is my first competetive exam and thats why maybe im poor at judjing my score and the highest marks.

@devansh...
its jst ur thinking dat it will go around 450...
wait fr the results n see..wt happens...:)
last 3 years ppl expected dis only and they got nthng...haha..

in scra general ability test is the most deciding one for selection coz pcm ke liye toh lakhon log coaching lete hai..mere kai doston ne to english section ke baad paper hi nhi khola !!! Plus it is noteable that this time the highest will go 450 in written..

@Tushar...
Bro...i completely agree with your views...
guys n gals here are getting ovr confident unnecessarily...
i appeared and cleared 2010 written..n was expecting 375+ but i jst got 37.5% n i was in...though bcoz i was in NDA so cdnt appear for the interview...
in 2011 also...ppl were posting about their expectations around 400..sm were around 450+...bt wen result came out it ws just 52.5% in written scored by HARISH MAHADASU..a frnd of mine..n aftr interview he is 57.2%..n he is d topper....

yaar uska PH ka kota tha lekin usne paper 2 and 3 mai 90 aur 80 marks score kiya tha kiya tha

@Tushar: thanks for the info :)
But how do you know that guy, Pratap Singh?

bhai logo
jisko exam qualify karna hai agli baar ,abhi se hi lag jao....
agli baar bhi janurary mai hi hoga......best of luck

bhai logo
scra 2010 mai paper 1 ka lowest score 34 hi gya tha jo written qualify kiya tha pratap singh..and after wo final mai bhi select hua
tha..

is baar bhi general ke 80 obc ke 55 aur 30 log sc aur 20 log (ST+PH)liye jayenge............

There isn't any pre-determined cutoff for each subject, right?? It is at the discretion of UPSC to set a particular cutoff for a particular subject, isn't it??

bhai log
dont be overconfident
result will be decleared
u know upsc or not?
aaj tak scra ke written part mai koi bhi 360 se adhik marks nahi laya hai........

last time bhi kai logo ne yahi bola tha par kisi ka nahi hua
agar aap logo ne paper sahi kiya hai to ye dekha hi hoga ki kai questions ke ek se adhik option the to aap log samaj hi sakte hai.
aur paper ka front paper bhi read kiya hoga..
is baar bhi sirf 180 log hi select honge aur wo bhi maximum wahi honge jo iit-jee qualify karenge jaisa ki aap logo ne scra 2010 ka result and marks dekhe hai ki 2010 ki merit kitni high gyi thi .. aur 2010 ki bhi last time jo ki highest marks 494/800 gyi thi lekin 2011 ki 460 gya hai.

@dushyant yup it is especially physics
and the cut off was for last year and actually there is no cutoff it is onyl predicted i think this year's pretty high

i am getting about375(gat-95,maths-146,phy-133)
what are my chances of selection please tell

Doesn't the resonance answer key have some errors?
And by the way I heard that cutoff is about 55% of the total 800 marks. But here people are gettin' 400+ only in written test!! How are these consistent with each other??

my daughter is getting 400+

@dewansh
dude, 400! amazing. a friend of mine is also getting around 400 i guess. if there are more of such scores then i reckon that my chances are very, very slim. great score! you will definitely make it.

Getting around 400 in written scra 2012...i wanted to know about the medical test everyone is talking about in their comments..?

i am expecting around 273 marks out of 600 in written....r there any chances of selection??
because last year i cleared written at 34.5% only...but this tym maths paper was very easy...

Mr Singh

On this issue I replied many times on the web page. At the end it all boils down to is "What one wants to do in the life?" . If one is interested in having lots of money and lavish life then definitely Railways is definitely not for them - not only Railways no government job pays well. One charm of Railways /SCRA is the security of job. Also added is the challenges of the job. An scra passed out will be Class I gazetted officer, but compared to other government jobs the public power is not there. One side of the high job profile are the IAS and IPS who enjoy power with responsibility and other end are the high end private jobs who get great pay packages and in between are the railways which has average power and average pay.
After posting they will be posted to maintenance units where they are in-charge of hundreds of crores of assests and 100s of staff. It is just like serving to the nation. The duty hours are also not bound - railway officers have to answer many things. Now you in case of any train accident, DRM is being suspended. See the multitude of responsibility Railway officer has to carry forward. There are many things to say. What a Railway job gives is a fighting spirit and development of strength and personality compounded with a decent social and peaceful life (with some hiccups in between).

what is the cut off marks in 2011 for sc/st

@ASHISH SINGH
what is your final score dude? please post it, if that is convenient.
i am really worried about he cutoff this year, and i want to get the general picture.
@ankur singh
you can see the solutions which resonance has given.they are for set A. you can match your questions (of set D) with the answers.please post you score as soon as possible.
Thanks

30th is the last date for dispatch of the letters from the ministry of railways, so obviously we will get them sometime later.
Even otherwise nobody has received those letters till now, so what's the need to worry !

anyone has got the medical letter?... i m getting really frustruated..

I m agree with ravi.This year's paper was quite easy as compared to previous ones.Specially maths.I was not prepared for test by i solve 58 questions in which 52-53 are right.cn we match r anws becaz i cnt find answers of any previous papers.So i nt think that any site will give answers.

how can i see SCRA 2012 answer key(code D) ?

My son has cleared SCRA 2011 and studying in DTU that too in computer engg. He is very confused. Pls advice whether he should join mechanical engineering in Railways or pursue computer engineering from DTU, which is one of the best engineering colleges in the country and sir, the salary one gets is also low in Railways as compared to the private jobs, Please reply soon sir and advice the future prospects of SCRA.

the answer key is good.
apart from a couple of questions in physics and many in English's error correction problems it is very helpful.
thank you ravi, for those answers.

ravi now after seeing the answer key.how much u getting?

hey guys, i too feel that the paper this year was a bit easy as compared to last years.i haven't calculated my score yet as i find it difficult to get the picture, as i have never been good at judging my own score. moreover, you can't trust online cut offs as predicting cut off for scra is like guessing the result of UP elections, seriously.
check this out
http://jobsrecruitments.com/cutoff-marks-sc-scra-written-exam-4010.html
this is previous years guessed 'cutoff' marks, which is more than the score of the guy who topped this exam last year!
my guesstimate score is 290. it can be less,much less,if a disaster occurred in the exam, which given my history, is always a rational, justified and a completely plausible possiblity.

for answers
http://www.resonance.ac.in/reso/news/OLYMPIADS_answerkey_solutions.aspx

i agree wth u ravi. There were few mistakes in maths section.
How much r u gettng in
GAT.
I am getting around 90.

@rakesh
i calculated gat marks with the help of wikipedia. And calculated my mathematics and science marks by discussing my friends.
And lot of questions in maths paper were wrong or misprinted
for ex: Q.NO 94,95,96 of SET A showing cosy=165 instead of y=165 and question number 74 of set A seems absurd because injective mapping is not defined for m>n.
my marks seems correct to me.

Sir plz reply.

21 days have passed and still no such letters from upsc (scra).and by the way is the medical test only a formality or a rigorous checkup?
sisirr plz sirsir

Be more precise in calculating marks..post total wth subject wise marks too..
I hav receivd marks frm sme studnts..nd may be able to predict the approx. Cutoff after observing the marks of few more studnts..plz evrybdy post ur roughly calculated marks..

ravi,r u serious?
Hav u checkd nd confirmd the answers or just saying on the basis of ur no. Of questions done?

hey guys i am getting around 295-305 in written exam. i think scra 2012 paper was lot easier than its last paper especially of general ability test so this time cuttoff may be higher than last year paper.

friends post ur roughly calculated marks..that will be very helpful to predict SCRA 2012 cut off..

How are cut-offs prepared????
Are there any minimum marks required to be scored in each of the three papers????
Or is there a single cutoff prepared out of 600 marks????

hey friends,
i want to know that does any site has scra 2012 answer key, i have roughly calculated that i would get around 180 to 200 marks, is there any chance ,i m thinking this is not sufficient,

@Nishchal bro.
How much marks u r getting..??
Calculate it roughly..
And after that i may conclude that how much the cut off may go around..

Sir,
can anybody give an idea for the cutoff for scra 2012?

As pointed by some visitor, the post displaying the marks of staff was deleted.
Some visitor was asking whether passed out of SCRA will get facility like Vehicle with flashing red light - No, except IAS and IPS no one is authorized to put red light.And I exactly don't know from which rank IAS and IPS get a vehicle with red light.
After entering the IRSME service, depending on the posting you may get vehicle or may not. After putting in atleast 5-6 years of service one can expect a vehicle.

@Swadhinata
Congratulations for getting selected.
i'm extremely sorry for any disquiet caused to the candidates whose scores are published. i would have certainly deleted the post as soon as i read your comment, but considering the fact that i am not the administrator of this site, i find my self unable to do so.
my only intention to put the scores of selected candidates on this site was to make aspirants like me aware of the optimum marks required, nothing else.
and unfortunately your scores are already 'publicly exhibited' in the following manner:-
1.the names and roll no.s of selected candidates are available on the UPSC site.
2.date of birth of candidates can be found searching it on google (the process being extremely tedious as i could not view their facebook or linkedin or google+ profiles as i am not a member of any of them)
3.the marksheet can be viewed by entering the required information(obtained through a completely legal, ethical and 'public' process) on the UPSC site.
i will again state that i am sorry for any anguish caused to any of the candidates. please feel free to contact me at
shaw9211@gmail.com

@Swadhinata
30th is the last date for dispatch of the letters from the ministry of railways, so obviously we will get them sometime later.
Even otherwise nobody has received those letters till now, so what's the need to worry !

i am also seriously worried.. its 29 january and letter has to be dispatched witihn 21 days which ends tomorrow

@ shaswat: Could you plz delete the post regarding the scores of the candidates. I seriously don't think that they should be publicly exhibited without the candidate's assent.

Seriously i have started feeling worried about medical test. Has anyone received any letter? Wat should we do if we dont receive anything?

oh chado eh sab agneepath dekho awesome aaaa......

Sir, tomorrow is SCRA's exam. I m feeling stressed which is natural ,though I am alone here to consolemyself. Help me.

Thank you sir, Thank you very muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!! I will be obliged for this information. This shows that marks of topper are around 58%.

i filled my online appliction an 50/- challan but i didnot send any post of my application xerox but i got my hall ticket in online is it necessay to send the application to the scra controller

30th is not the last date for receiving the letter, instead it is the last date for the dispatch of the same !

@SCRA
sir i want to know all these in more details.
could you please mail me at ankur_0116@yahoo.com
i would be thankful to you.

@ankur

all data are based on written qualified candidates........

@All who qualified in written

There is a great thing of thinking positively: If you can think, you can win.

Benefits of thinking positively
If you think that you would be able to crack the interview with ease, it will certainly give you lot of confidence.
Do not think anything other then success.
Why to think of negative things like failure? You will have lot of time to think negatively later on, so better leave the negative part and think of being a successful candidate.
It have been proved scientifically that before sleeping if you can just planned what you will do next day, then certainly you would be able to manage all the activities quiet properly.
In the same way, before sleeping think that you would clear the interview with flying colors!! We just wish you all the best.

@All who qualified in written

Prepare your answer keeping these points in mind:

1-Do not feel nervous. Getting nervous brings your performance down.
2-If you don’t know anything, reply “no” politely/calmly. Do not say wrong things (or a blunder). If you are putting your guess, then you can say that Sir, I feel….
3-You should be in a calm and confidant mood.
4 -Interviewer is well aware of the fact that a 12th class student can be very intelligent but normally not matured enough to tackle lot of pressure. So whatever happens, whatever board member says to you, be calm. You are giving SCRA interview because you are among the 184 students from India!
5 -Sometimes interviewer intentionally asks you some questions which are certainly not a part of your course. The Interviewer just wants to see your approach and not the formulas. Interviewer wants to see, how specifically you study. You should analyse and propose your solution with your current level of knowledge.
6-There can be infinite questions so you can not prepare for each and every question. You have to be mentally strong and confident to face the interview.
7-Do not argue with the interviewer. There exist lot of difference between arguments and discussion.

@All who qualified in written

Preparing for the Interview:

1- Be confident
2 -Be calm and don’t be too anxious about interview
3 -Think positively
4 -If possible give mock interview to your seniors, bro/sis or parents.
5 -Don’t feel shy, neither be too expressive (Too much of expression sometimes leads to errors)
6 -Concentrate
7 -Pressure and last minute revision of books never works. Never be tensed.
8 -Decide your dress well in advance. Do not think too much about dress. A simple shirt/trouser/sweater for boys and a suit for gals will work. Be comfortable.
9 -Collect your necessary papers / certificates etc before time.
10- Carry a pen with, they may ask you to solve some problem / puzzle or a drawing (if your hobby is drawing).
11 -Consider each and every question asked as the opportunity to express yourself and to win.

@All who qualified in written
Interview questions can be divided broadly into the following categories:
1. Based on school syllabus
2. Personal questions

Based on your interests and hobbies
Based on your career goals
Personal (family related)
3. General Knowledge questions
4. Question regarding Railways, current affairs etc
4. Hypothetical questions

As such there is no requirement for separate preparation for interview. It is a personality interview and not a performance interview. Be what you are .. don't try to bluff. You should be having good idea of maths , physics and chemistry - that is why you qualified and that is what they expect.So they will question you about that . They may ask a few things about mechanical engineer basics and there is no need to worry about that. be to the point, clear and confident. Best of Luck.
for SCRA Interview Guidance-check this-http://www.aryanclasses.com/SCRA/SCRA-Interview-guidance.html

There is no cutt off in scra.last time highest and lowest scorer in written part was akhil jain-354(highest) and nihit kumar singh(14896)-168(lowest)ism danbad(for general categroy)

To all SCRA aspirants who got selected for interview - congratulations -
Don't worry about the interview - it is just a personality interview and not a performance interview - just be what u r - questions will be asked about maths, physics , chemistry, general knowledge and a bit of mechanical engineering and railways - be frank and confident - don't try to bluff - best of luck :)

@ankur
u r right ankur.after personality test UPSC prepared merit list(categorywise). after that toppers are selected

sir, i have cleared scra 2011 and i am really frightened about the interrview as many of many of my near ones say that the interview is very difficult and is comparable to ias interview. please sir i will be very thankful to you if will please let me know the exact pattern and the level of the qustions asked in the interview. the interview is on 21st december

@SCRA
i am really amazed that indivisual highest scorers are not selected as cut off was around 27% for the written test

@SCRA
y these individual highest scorers were not selected???
and what about the one who score 145 in personality test???
it seems some common merit list is prepared out of 800...n top 42 are selected....is it like that or some other procedure??

last year individually highest scored in SCRA
Mathematics-ANSHUMAN VIJAYVARGIA(131363 )
-128(not selected)bits pilani
Physical Sciences-PRADUMN MOHAN DAVEY(132189)-139(selected)iit kanpur
General Ability Test-ARNAB GHOSH(75476)-147(not selected)bits pilani
Personality Test-SUMANT ARORA(18571)-145(selected) Netaji Subhas Institute of Technology.
last year highest score (category wise) in written part
general-Akhil jain(iit delhi)-354
OBC-Tuhin sekhar(iit kharagpur)-313
SC-VIVEK RANJAN MAITREY(iit delhi)-344

@chhavi
see i don't have the exact idea about the cutoff this time.
talking about the preparations if you are an engineering aspirant (of course a serious one) ,are adequately aware about recent happenings and read english newspapers on a regular basis then your chances of selection in the written part of the exam are high...

Sir,
i hv qualified SCRA 2011, n am waiting fr my interview.
i am more inclined towards managerial kind f job than a hardcore engineering one. i want to know what are the prospects of that kind of job after SCRA . also i will be aiming for IIM naturally, so i want to know which degree , one from an IIT or from IRIMEE will help me secure a better job after an MBA ?

on a side note, we do get a certificate or something like that declaring that we have passed out from IRIMEE along with the BIT degree right? just saying. :D
please reply at earliest.
thanx

rajiv143mom@gmail.com

Sir, in present scenerio, is the scra engineer entitled to get pension after getting retirement. I m asking this because as far as i know, pension was stopped in 2004 for all government employees except millitry. Sir plz reply to this as well as my previous query as soon as possible

sir, is what hemant saying true? pls reply...

Sir, does one has to memorise about all scra engineers of past 10 years in the 1st year

Sir, i have heard that atleast during first year ( being first month the toughest), the student are passed through much hardwork. E.g. Only 4 hours (12 am to 4 am) sleep per day, running (as much as 25 rounds of ground in order to gain membership of club) and other physical exercises for 2 hours from 4 to 6 both morning and evening (total becoming 4 hours a day) , whole day long workshops and no laptop allowed. Are these facts true

i have got b-tech in civil engineering at iit delhi and also cleared scra 2010 interview.which one is better?Sir please help.

sir kindly reply to my queries as well...

Sir, is the SCRA officer(just after 4year BE) absorbed as class one ghazetted?

@hemanth

all 44 will be absorbed -- no further filtering after interview unless there is problem in medical.

@Hemanth

What one get after completion SCRA is BE(mechanical) from BIT ranchi . It is same as what a regular student of BIT ranchi gets. There is no difference . But what SCRA student gets is additional workshop training during vacation. Yes, you will not have any summer vacation . You are on job literally and you get paid for it.
You will get degree from BIT ranchi which is same as any other student of the institute .

sir, this year 44 students have been selected after interview. will the be further shortlisting of these students reducing their numbers to 10 finally or all of the 44 students would get the training

sir, is the B.E degree given in the scra specialized only for railways and does not include training about other type of general machinery which is included in an ordinary mechanical engineering degree or it consists of training about all types of general machinery also.
please reply at the earliest

sir, i want to know that the mechanical engineering degree given after the training is valuable in other private sectors or not, i.e if after the bond period someone wants to do a private job then how much the mechanical engineering degree given by railways would be helpful ?
Is it so, that the railways give training confined to very narrow field of railway and is not acceptable in other private companies.
plz reply at the earliest

sir also cud u tell me dat wat is d present salary nd other priviliges lik red light vehicle or nt????

dear sir,i hv cleard scra interview,i want 2 knw abt d future prospects abt d job at railways.what r d other ammenties dat we get apart frm salary,are railway officers lik ias offiers???plzz reply nd wat is d salary (basic pay nd grade pay+da etc)dat we get??plz reply sir....i m also getting adm in varios nits thru aieee....wat wud b bettr???

@hemanth
After completion of engineering and training - postings can be any where in India. Choice will be given based on the ranking obtained in the training.. IRIMEE has wi fi and LAN. Mess facility is available and is very excellent. The students are the sole incharge of the mess and administration don't get involved in it.

@himanshu
If u are technically oriented and interested in getting big salaries IIT would be better.....please read the other comments for an idea...

Sir, does IRIMEE have wi fi or LAN connectivity in the hostel ? Plz do reply at the earliest.

Sir, is mess facility given alongwith the hostel facility ?

Sir, i want to know that generally the scra engineers are posted in which region of india

Please let me know the salary package and career promotions of SCRA officer.

sir
i have cleared scra interview.also i m also getting mechanical at iit bombay.please guide me which will be better for me to join.

thanks sir for answering my queries
one more question sir
what is the amount of bond money?

sir there are some questions i wud lik 2 ask.
what are non-government career opportunities for scra?
can a person go for post graduate studies like MBA or M.Tech if he return bond money? what is exact procedure?
what pay scale and service terms govt. offers?
i willb highly obliged of you i.

:)

@varnim

See my previous comments below --- for info. Choice depends on what you want to do in life..

@Rajat

There is no need for any separate preparation for interview - as you passed the examination, you must be having good knowledge of physics, maths, chemistry .. Also have some info on railways like fastest train in India, how many zones, divisions etc. Be yourself - don't get panic - enjoy the interview - everything will be alright



Best Wishes

Sir,
Please give some tips and suggestions about how to face the interview successfully............
Reply soon.......

sir,
i have just completed my first year at iit (bhu) varanasi (electrical)..
i have selected for scra interview .............
wat should i choose ...........?
and please provide some sugessions for interview

@ Vinayak Aggarwal

IF you want big salary SCRA is not for You .....

@KP

There is no difference between SCRA and IES in terms of promotions and salaries, both are one and same- But in SCRA you get free engineering and stipend and a life of freedom while you are graduating itself- The difference is same as NDA and CDS - In government sector as you know promotions are time based - the more service you have to serve the more chances are that you go to the stop - so either it is SCRA or IES - it depends on the age you entering service? for SCRA service counts after four years you join i.e after completion of engineering ....

Hello Sir,
I just want to know if I leave DCE (engineering physics, B.Tech) 1st year for the SCRA, will I be making a right decision ??
I don't have any specific interest in either mechanical engg. or engg. physics, but I am capable of doing my best in whatever I do so field doesn't matter.
But I do have a thing for high salary. But is it correct engg. phy doen't pay much??That's the biggest problem niggling me.
Please reply .
Regards
Vinayak

sir i want to know the difference between scra and ies how their salary differ,which one is better for furthur promotions.what is highest post in it.i am a 2nd year mechanical engineering student from iitb so kindly reply please

@Rajat

there is no requirement to prepare for interview. But it is better to know few things about mechanical engineering and railways. As you cleared exam you must be having good idea of Maths and physics. Be what you are. The interview board is not there to panic you - they are there to gauge your personality. Be prompt , honest in your answering...

Good Luck

@ all

SCRA is nothing but a shortcut to IES (engineering services). The stipend an SCRA gets during training (engineering - BE) now is some 12,000/- per month. This is stipend and not salary. SCRA salaray after completion of four year engineering course and joining the job will be 30,000 per month plus. This is initial salary. And will be adding on with time. These are rough figures now and keep going up with inflation. This is apart from the free AC travel and other facilities like decent house etc. It is a good job having enough of challenges, you will be controlling lot of assets and people. For example now I am incharge of some 600 staff and 100 diesel locomotives. It's quiet a serious job. But frankly the job doesn't suit for ambitious people who want more out of their life . If you really want great salary like lakhs per month, SCRA is definitely not the right one. And it is a known fact that Railway officers will not enjoy as power as officers in same rank of any other Government service like IAS, IPS , Revenue service, state public services. You will be not known much in public. So it is a median between a full paid private job and some powerful government jobs. But you can have satisfaction as a mechanical engineer and Railways is a secluded complete society in itself . So you can have a decent family and social life.
After completion of SCRA, You will get a BE degree you will have a bond period of some 3 years to serve in railways. After that you are free to go for any other job(now a days people are going for IIMs) or continue with railways(which many do).

i have cleared scra conducted on 19th Dec 2010
next is personality test\interview after 25 th May
Please guide me how to prepare for it
i have appeared in 12th ISC bord in 2011..
Is this a satisfing career ..

Plese reply soon....

Sir,i too am confused as in the case of SANYA(abv)...i would like to know the pay scale given at the time of appointment to the job....and also i wanted to know as this is the mechanical department the posting of the job will either be in Cochin,Varanasi orChennai(bcoz of the respective coach factories) or can it be anywhere in india....please do reply at the earliest............Thank you

Sir,
I want to know that candidates who will appear for C.B.S.E class XII examination in March 2011, are eligble for giving SCRA 2010 in Dec'10?

@Rajeev

Minimum qualification required is +2 . So you can write the exam if you are BE(Mech) also. But there is an age limit , I think 21 for general students and may be few more years for OBC, SC and ST. Check the UPSC notification http://upsc.gov.in/exams/notifications/scra2010/ntf-scra.htm#PageTop for eligibility criteria.....

All questions asked will be of +2 standard only. If you completed BE it is better to try IES (engineering services) . Because in SCRA you have to re-do engineering again....

Sir, i am B.E.(Mechanical engg.) student. After completion of degree whether i will be able to give SCRA Exam or not? Question will be asked from 12th level or B.E level or from both? Plz give me information

sir,
i m a student of dce comp but i m quite interested in scra ...plz tell me wat is the salary n can it be compared to iits n dce/nsit ?????

sir
I am an electrical engineering student in IIT Kharagpur .I am not satisfied with my deparrtment.I have facination for Mechanical engg. and also for a good salleried govt. job.As I am unable to change my department and also not aloowed to write iit jee again so i want to seat for SCRA.I just want to know about job satisfection as a mechanical engg. and stipend at the time of studing and final sallery and further scope of creativity and research work as a mechanical engg. in this job.And please add some words about how you enjoyed the course period.

my friend had cleared scra 2010 but he hasnt yet left his previous college i.e. nsit that too computer engg..He is not satisfied there with IRMEE(scra) and wants to come back but then again he feels he would be losing on a class1 govt job .He is very confused.Pls advice what to do, wether he could stay with mechanical engineering there or pursue computer engineering from nsit,which is one of the best engineering colleges in the country. and sir,the salary one gets is also low as compared to the private jobs,isnt it?
please reply soon sir.

Sir,

I wanted to know when and whether the entrance exam will be conducted this year for admissions in IRIMEE to join SCRA course?

I will be highly obliged to you if you provide me information.

sir,
i am having a doubt weather i could join SCRA after my completion of class 12.i also wanted to know that if the degree can provide me with any other job other than the one in railways

Sir,
SCRA is indeed a great opportunity .
Its a prestigious class 1 officer job but sir i am confused about one thing the salary
of an SCA as per brochure is about 20000 pm . But i believe it should be definitely
more .As you are an alumni of SCRA can you please tell me the actual figure
how is everything at IRIMEE?
THOUGH IT MUST BE GOOD . But can it be compared to IITs?
I will be highly obliged to you if you provide me the answers to these few questions.
