Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@zombielandWell, I can't go in detail on a public platform but let's just say it is best to be subservient in front of the panel. Years in bureucracy makes anyone's ego fragile. WHile disagreeing with panel, be extrmely humble. Of course doesn't apply to all panels but why take risk?

Extremely patheticstate of affairs but it is what it is.

Any one know, what is the low score in interview among mains cleared candidates in 2018.

@ChampakSeen many people who took a stand contrary to board but never saw this low a score, what exactly went wrong? took a controversial stand? politically opinionated? I'm really curious.

@TeddyWestsidemere dimag mei bhi sabse pehle yhi thought aaya

@ranyo_asokaisko kon downvote kar raha hai..its hard truth u like it or not lolz

@pmishra997125it's just the dreaded L word I guess. Scoring 75 marks above cutoff and still missing out. I haven't come across a crueler (for the want of a better word) story.

last to lat year bohto ka 110 dekar kaat diya tha.

@ranyo_asokalying and deceit don't lead to low marks. Most of the aspirants are driven by money or power, still say that their love for society made them chose IAS. Indian bureaucracy is known for its inefficiency and corruption. Half hour is not sufficient to know someone's true nature. They can just check the response to questions and clarity of thoughts. So preparation and practice lead to good marks, not moral character of the person.

from personal experience - simple answers to the questions with no bluffs is enough to fetch 150.

@vvvikas0078212getting ready to lie again ?

@pysh12950I don't have to. I very well know my reasons and tell the same.

@pysh12950My point was that too much emphasis shouldn't be on these things. Instead focus should be on preparation and presentation during interview

I mean to say that being in the process of exam and already having negative thoughts about bureaucracy and UPSC exam process also hampers ones conviction and chance of success .....some exemptions will always be there...do not generalise it

@pysh12950Yes it does. But people usually don't bring this negativitu up during interview.

Subconsciously u do...and your dwindling belief in Indian governance gets reflected there..no matter how much u prepare...that’s why some get high marks with little preparation and some even after doing phd in personality Dev get poor marks

@pysh12950Yes, good point. I will work on this.

Seeing your humility and positive attitude...I see success this time ...List me naam hai aapka iss baar

@pysh12950naam ho ya na ho, it is last attempt and end of journey.

@vvvikas0078212Best of your mehnat bro
