Before prelims result,@DKTclaimed that he got 165 in essay in 2018 mains, I asked him to show his marksheet as I knew that vikram Grewal got the highest marks in essay in 2018..161 marks and he surely is not even close to vikram Grewal. He couldn't post his marksheet, busted and humiliated in front of everyone. He is just a newbie who wrote his first mains, didn't have the speed and thus got insecure about his performance.

In prelims too, he kept on lying about his expected prelims marks, I wonder if at all he had cleared the prelims itself or not. Being overconfident and less accommodative of his criticism shows his lack of maturity. Saying that he may get 860 after leaving around 250 marks can still be digested but saying that he will get 185 marks in his first interview is laughable as firstly no one can predict interview marks and secondly getting 185 is really a tough task in interview.

He may start using abusive language now which would definitely reflect his officer like qualities.

How safe is a written score of 65-70 marks above cutoff in mains with an average interview?
Rank thoughts?

@DKTYou claimed that you have written most relevant answers and hence you are expecting a great score. One of those question you said is French securalism. Now if you have also written same examples which others have written ( and not NASA or some stupid Salman song) and also left around 250 marks paper...then I don’t how how under 50 rank is possible.
You call yourself MASTER OF SOCIOLOGY and still getting only 145 + 150 which is too low for a master in my opinion.
Feel free to dislike, criticise or abuse this comment as well because that’s best you can do.

@bevancomAt cutoff score in mains, u need 200-205 to get last rank. So for 65-70 margin , around 135-140 required to get last rank

@Ms-dhoniyes I wrote many gs type answers, particularly 10 markers. I used many scholars this time, though I didn't want to because last time I didn't (to be true, pta hi nhi the) and still got 168. Wanted to stick to my tried and tested method but iss baar content jyada likh nhi paa rha tha, isliye scholars se pad up karna pda. Upar se iss saal 20 markers ke liye paper 2 mei bhi 4 page de diye, last year 3 hi the. Iss wajah se bhi kaafi kachra accommodate karna pad gya. lekin 10 markers jyadatar gs type hi hai, itne specific topics ke liye scholars nhi pta. Although kahi kahi kisi theory se connect kar diya

@sernihilonhi yaar, 10 markers I did lot of hawabaazi. They were too specific. My strength is IR theory, yeh specific cheeze aati nhi mereko jyada. I have not rewritten the answers, but brief outlines of what I wrote for different questions I shared on the PSIR discussion thread. I realised most of the students have written on similar lines. I think you too were on that thread, weren't you?
