    Cut off in CSAT 2011 was around 190 for the general category, though there is no official statement by the UPSC concerning the cut-offs. There are no individual cut offs.

    it would have been between 195-200. but its better to have 205+ to be on safe side.

    its usually 50%. its safe to have at least 55% score irrespective of the paper difficulty level

    @Aks I think you stand corrected. UPSC has declared cut off via RTI. Sadly, only to individuals and not ontheir portal

    The cutoff of the 2011 Prelims is given here. Also take note of the email ID of the CPIO of the UPSC.
