The cut offs are directly dependent on the number of vacancies. Most of the states have reported a reduced number of vacancies for junior associates as compared to 2016. Therefore, the competition will be stiffer this time.
Also, the inclusion of sectional timings will have some impact on the cut offs. Aspirants must put on a decent show in all three sections now to sail through. Also, the luxury of spending most of the time in one’s area of strength no longer exists. Therefore, aspirants must focus equally on all sections while preparing and must strive to get a decent score in each section.
Take a large number of mock tests to acclimatize yourself to the new pattern. It will take a while to adapt oneself and hence, start early. Being comfortable with the exam pattern is extremely important to do well in the exam.
