Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

No it's not like that. 4 d same reason that they scan 4 key words structure become irrelevant, u just need to write relevant points in any manner u like not necessarily in IBC format...but in order to drop key words u need to understand d question properly which requires extensive knowledge, revision and practice.

@pysh12950
Known to the examiner, so u think they know less then us...its correct that they can't be an expert in all field so may not be aware of technical terms but they r aware of general studies well, also they r provided with model answer...evaluation is not as casual as we think. When I say they scan 4 words...I mean they read very quickly. Excellent answer addressing d demand of d question is highly awarded.

@dr-ahmednaaz8567i hve heard they dnt get model answers..dnt knw if its true or not

@ranyo_asoka
Even I am not sure whether they get it or not I must confess but my personal experience says they have otherwise it would become highly discretionary.

@dr-ahmednaaz8567may be they get breifing on points/angles expected lines of answer..but dunno

after 20 days rest i am back to forum read all comments in last two days including train journey of 800km

I want to know that how many examiners check GS copies. For example in GS 1 three subjects like society, geography, history. so does three expert check copies or just one. If copies are evaluated by JNU professors then he/she is specialist in one subject. I am sure optional copies are evaluated by specialist but what about GS1,2,3 ...guys reply with genuine evidence...

@John_TitorFor all the great physical comedy prowess of richards and general funniness of Jerry, I personally think essence of Seinfeld is George. He made awkwardness, laziness and insecurity funny again.

during reading this I felt like I was hearing to Patrick Bateman talking about Phil Collins

All the speculation on examiner would help us none, they are all well read profs and they have been checking ans copies their whole life.. I have also heard Mr.DP Agarwal(ex-CM) assuring students that copies are evaluated in the most fair manner, regardless of that there is always a possibility of human error..

If not prof, he/she maybe a retd bureaucrat, one who has been reading and writing reports his entire life.. Lets not get distracted from our own shortcomings in the prep and find an easy way out of it

@K_9Bhai I've come across a person who got 9 mrks in philo ppr 1...ye tbhi hi possible hai jb 0 milta ho

@Shubzpaper left blank.
But in optional we really can get 0 in an answer as optional questions are specific and are checked by subject experts.

@ShubzPaper blank chodh diya hoga. Tab to bhagwan bhi zero se zyada nahi dila sakte

@K_9@hirockyrocks7101Bhai 3 saal prep krne ke baad dia tha usne....bolta toh hai ki likha tha ppr me

Bhai, 9 marks milna impossible hai.

UPSC ki notification mein Likha hits hai ki the candidate must get at least 25% marks in all the 9 papers to be able to see his/her marks.

Yakeen Na Aaye you notification Dekh Lena.

Peace.

@Ravs
25 marks or 25%

@dr-ahmednaaz8567it should be 25 marks

"Marks obtained by the candidates for the Paper I-VII only will be counted for merit ranking.
However, the Commission will have the discretion to fix qualifying marks in any or all of these
papers."

It's obvious that nobody can get 9 marks in any paper. Agar milte toh usko pata bhi nahi Lagta.

@dr-ahmednaaz856725 marks i think. I have seen many scores below 75. 25% is too high a limit.

@K_9

Haan 25 is the default threshold. But the commission may increase or decrease it as per the circumstances.

@K_9haha; 55 to mere hi aaye the gs-2 me 2015 me
