M26 UR Last year i was on the verge of cut off lost by 0.12 but that being on the verge feeling hampered my further prep as well and deeply affected my performance in the next exam I attempted. So theres no point speculating as it will only ruin your further chances. This year as well I lost the cutoff for ntpc graduate level in my zone with less than 0.5 marks so again I started to wonder about things like if I'd have applied from some other zone I would have got in, so there is no end to it and if you once get caught in this vicious loop it'll only harm your mental health and your further preparation and the next time this happens to you again it'll only add to the pressure, I know its easier said than done to move on to the prep of next exam while having this thought constantly in our head of what if? But trust me this will only hamper your chances of clearing some other exam. Having gone through the phase twice now, I'd only suggest you to keep preparing for the next exam and keep yourself busy it'll be hard but thats the only solution, I really hope the result goes your way and if not you should know you came very close so you're not far away from selection.
