This was the last UPSC exam under 14th loksabha and surprisingly the day of the exam was the day when congress came out with flying colours. Hopefully, the candidates are going to have the last laugh as the vacancies have increased and the results of preliminary exam of Upsc 2009 is expected to be out by August 2009. Possibly, more than 12000 candidates are expected to be selected in the preliminary upsc-newexaminations of upsc 2009. Cut off marks for different subjects are going to be different depending upon the difficulty level of the subject and the questions asked. However, the general studies question paper was really innovative with little emphasis on traditional questions as most of the questions were related to current affairs .
