CSAT should be given due weightage so that 66 marks barrier can be crossed . Even if you are from Maths background then also you should devote little time for CSAT . I missed CSAT cutoff and know the pain to wait for one full year to give next attempt (for small mistake).

And for those who face challenge in Maths , you should put extra efforts and analyse PYQs themes so that topics like number system etc can be prepared well and accuracy of Comprehension part can be increased by going through PYQs and get hack of solving comprehensions .
