Is there any minimum cutoff for General Studies (G.S.)?

It's a difficult question to answer as the marking pattern of the UPSC is a closely guarded secret and there are different theories about the same. A score of 50 -60 plus after the negative marks will do. But it is too dificult to give cut off as the cut off for both the papers out of 400 varies from year to year.
