@ranyo_asokaPrivilege ka konsa question tha

@vvvikas0078212individual parliamentarian ques mein likha tha maine

@ranyo_asokaOk. I didn't remember articles related to that. I wrote some data in that question related to lack of deliberation by parliamentary committees and lack of debate on bills.

@vvvikas0078212open ended ques tha..can be attempted in mny dimensions..

@ranyo_asokaYes..I wrote the aspects I remembered..105 related yad ata toh aur better ho skta tha..

@ranyo_asoka

@sat_009@Rags@Dijkstrathanks yaar. specially@sat_009for the figures and insider insight. Mujhe toh lagne lga tha anthro mei bas ratta maar lo aur ekdam top score mil jaayega. I realise now ki PSIR waali uncertainity to har subject mei bni rahegi, phir chahe woh ekdam objective kyo na ho, maths jaisa. Anthro toh phir bhi thoda jyada subjective hai. Thanks

@vvvikas0078212time bhi kaha tha..plus the language of questions consumed even more time..

@sat_009Which tests ?? GS or only ethics and essay

@ranyo_asokaJust saw GS 2 paper..French secularism vale me Religious freedom ka article likhna bhi bhul gya main I think..Exam pressure me samaj ni pada hoga ye GS2 ka paper chal rha hai..

@vvvikas0078212ho jata hai...even i forgot to mention examples in some which i knew for lack or time and answer space... khair there is always scope for 'aur bhi likh sakta tha' type thoughts after reading model answers, discusions..its nvr ending

@Ms-dhoniyaar I wasn't really thinking much while writing answers as I wasn't able to complete the syllabus. In paper 1 I got 141 and 168 in paper 2. I mostly used theory of ir to write answers in both parts, as far as I can remember since my specific knowledge about topics was wanting.

as for this year, I think paper1 part1 was similar to last year, part2 was much easier than last year. Paper2 part2 was much harder than last year while part2 was easier, though it was very specific, but not hard I believe (some 10 markers were a real nuisance though).

overall, I think paper was easier this year but my score may drop because I could find lollipop questions in paper 2 this year (asian values and soft power questions were kind of lollipop last year). However, I feel paper2 was hard for all people, so finally the score should not vary much if there is any standarisation of marks in an optional with marks of last years. However, subjectivity in evaluation is always an issue.

@pmishra997125thanks for the detailed reply Bro. In paper 2 sec b, did you write any gs type answers (I mean without much use of theories, scholars and in depth analysis.)

@DKTbhai be constructive and civil, itne kam marks ke attempt me aap itna bada claim kar rahe ho, wo claim ki to ijjat rakho kam se kam, even if you somehow feel that u have written a great answer does not mean u can mock others.
I dont want to offend u, be free to criticise even this comment,
all the best.
