Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@Shubz
Bhai 4 option bhi de do .....KBC ho jaye

@Valar_morghulisbro i left 45 marks questions ( Chile+ structural anomalies+ poor attempt of evoultion of disease). Quality of questions like sci vs magic + categorization of genes+ national character study were avg or below avg. My score was 128. I believe that they gave genuine marks to me. they was no ill treatment of anthro

Anthro has high relation with quality of cramming. If one has crammed perfectly one will score good that year but marks will get reduced if it is not revised properly as many answers requires very high degree of cramming. I believe any casual approach towards anthro will result in reduction of marks.

@zombielandi never said anthro was ill treated in 2018. i only said 2017 was a very liberal year. Rest ,i totally agree with you. i faced same issue this time, couldnt cram well, didnt write anthro upto the mark

Last thing i want to do is mis-guide people. Hence clarifying

@Valar_morghulishow was anthro this time

@Valar_morghulisi never meant that you are misguiding anyone. we are not selected candidates yaar. we are still trying to find how to enter into the list.

@sat_009like last years only. except few questions paper was okay.

@zombielandha bro.. we all are on same boat

@zombielandpaper 2 me main game hota hai har bar par score bhi thik aa jata hai, is bar ka samjh nahi pa raha mai rest paper 1 to bhot mast tha

@sat_009average. Got brain fade in paper 1and couldn't do that well. p2 was decent.

@Valar_morghulis @zombielandhehe bhai bus anthropology me acha aa jaye sab sahi ho jayga fir

@sat_009

@Valar_morghulismujhe impact of media, impact of industrialisation ye questions ka thoda issue hua kafi generic likh diya maine, baki paper to pura complete hua, last year 10 markers tough the tab bhi 150 cross ho gaya tha,
paper 2 me decent aa raha hai score 2016 ke bad se trend yahi hai,
but paper 1 me differential bhot bada hota hai, between good and average paper

@sat_009i think paper 2 me upscaling hoti hai anthro me as i has more humanity type,
and paper 1 me upscaling utni nahi hoti jiski wajah se scores me differnetial aa jata hai bhot bar in between paper 1 and paper 2

@sat_009impact of media main ek case study likha tha UNECOs commennity radio station in some village in Jharkhand. rest all points were gs like.

In impact of industraialization I had case studies for negative impact. I wrote positive impact like gs paper.

Similarly in question emanicipation of sc by non-hindu religion, I had case study for discrimination towards non-Hindu NGOs but how it helped in their improvement. So i wrote how non-hindu religion helped in improving their status (gs type) then added discrimination continues ( Andre Betille study of christians in Tanjore+ Sikhs+ Muslims+ Buddhists (1 page)

@sat_009Even i faced same issue with those questions. i am bit weak in p2 (110 and 130 in both attempts).. so cant confidently say.

@Valar_morghulismy few parts of one answer is like gs type and another part like core anthro. don't know how much it will affect marks

@sat_009what was ur score in 2017 and 2018 ( Paper1 + Paper2)

@zombielandacha milega
