    I am from one of the older IITs myself. To be honest, I am not entirely sure about the exams, I am still evaluating my options, you know, the risk of leaving a nice job etc. But this forum provides a great platform! cheers to the infinite knowledge and new friends ! 😀

    agree with you mitra. Best answers were no doubt very carefully chosen among many well crafted answers. Even i was surprised the night they weren’t announced.
    But i understand their decision view too. May be paucity of time doesn’t allow – after all they give us many timely posts – from must read articles, daily editorials to 9 pm briefs apart from MGP.
    And there are so many answers. It must be tough choosing due to subjectivity.
    We all are gradually improving by reviewing, reading others’ reviews and answers. In times to come, we may start critically self reviewing our own answers and progress.
    I believe it must have been well thought to trade off between subjectivity and objectivity.

    Hello sir ForumIAS ..
    Your efforts are commendable towards the mains guidance programme..however,the best answers are not pointed out from a long time(I saw from dec20).They were to be mentioned every night as declared.Also a critical review towards development for answers written later in the day and declaration of weekly toppers will be very encouraging..:) 🙂
