Hello suresh,
We can give you some suggestion for your IES exam preparation :
(1) Make plan as per time availability in a day for study exclude other times like daily routine work, office work etc.
(2) Always study in three level anything :
1. easy
2. medium
3. Hard
First follow easy. Like you are going to study a chapter. Note down all the important topic from exam point of view and study introductory of every topic then move to next chapter and so on. It will not take much time and you will complete your whole syllabus at least once then medium than hard.
Make a time table for a whole day, for a week, for a month and for five months for GATE 2016. Stick to the time table. Must include time for revision in each time table.
First clear your basics then start solving previous years GATE papers and solve similar kind of problems from standard book of each subject. Solving previous years papers will give you a good idea about question asked in GATE exam and areas from where they generally asked questions.
You must read this post : http://www.gate2016.info/ies-guidance/how-to-prepare-ies-along-with-gate/

Hello satyam,
Cut off depends upon many factors no one can decide it exactly. Factors like number of applicants, papers pattern n difficulty level, number of seats etc. these factors vary year by year so cut off also vary. In some RRB, 2014 recruitment cut off is 60% while in some 80% no one can say what would be it for RRB 2015 recruitment.
