Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@vvvikas0078212many get caught lying in board..i meant that scenario

@ranyo_asokaye to universal rule hai bhai, "it's okay if you do it as long as you don't get caught"

@ranyo_asokaCan you give specific examples for the scenarios where candidates could be trapped. It will be helpful for all.

@vvvikas0078212see if an individual isAbut he is pretending/projectingBthroughout 30 mints period, his/her integrity creates doubt in themindsof panel members.
This leads to 30 40 marks reduction in score.
But this is only one of the factor, not all people who get low score are liars or lack integrity, most common reason i think is lack of conviction, and inefficient communication etc.
But those people who feel their interview was great still get low score they are mostly from A and B dichotomy presented above.

@vvvikas0078212I've always thought they are left wingers and university profs. But in the current political scenario, it's highly likely they are right wing.

Best is to have a neutral viewpoint on issues I guess so as to not piss anyone.

@kochikaameWe obviously should take stand consistent with the constitutional values, but sometimes they directly ask about some government initiative like demonetization. In that scenario, they usually expect you to think on same line as government, but logically you might not agree about the effectiveness of some government initiative.

I have a right wing orientation so will taking a right wing stance help me?

@vvvikas0078212in such a scenario, I would respectfully put forth my opinion that it was a wrong step and would try to reason behind it. If I fake it, they'll know it from my body language for sure. And I suppose we can disagree with such steps but at the same time, not be too political about it.

@Chanakyaneutral rahne mein sabse jyaada bhalaai hai. Or if you want to be genuine, thoda rational right winger ki Tarah discuss Karna without getting too extreme. Should be alright in that case I guess.

@Biryanimafia_ insider info dete rahi.matleast timepass pass ho jayega fr next 2 -2.5weeks till 10dec

Bhailog. I am new to this forum. I took mains for the first time this year. I have honestly no idea how it went. May I know how are you people maintaining sanity of mind at this moment and so coolly preparing for interview ? I don't even feel like getting up from the bed.

Folks, after the mains result is declared , when would we get to know our interview dates? I'm searching for pvt jobs now, and would want to mention joining date for the job after my cse interview day( if mains is cleared).
Does upsc release schedule of interview dates for all at once ?

@MalcolmChill out! 10-15 days more.

@Malcolmtotally man, I’m in the exact same situation. Don’t know what to expect. After reading the posts of the veterans post-mains I realise that my level is nowhere near these guys.
I even tried to study but to no avail. Feeling a bit disappointed with myself as well in that regard..

@NadigVinayAfter result, around 15 more days u will have to wait for exact date. Could be more than 15 days also. If your home state is closer to Delhi, then interview date can be expected early (not a rule though).

@Malcolmsame here bhaai. I am in a mess right now as well with a lot of overthinking. Dedicate some time to a hobby maybe if you can't study much. Even I am not studying for more than 3-4 hours

@missionmangalBhai, I don't even remember what I wrote. This waiting phase sucks so much. Model answers dekh ke mera sar ghum gaya.

@kochikaameyou are atleast studying man. Keep it up.

@Malcolmyou can also study man. Do something interesting for most of your day and 2-3 ghante Nikal lena atleast for the newspapers. Inshallah clear karenge Mains and we shouldn't be underprepared.

@kochikaameCheers to that positive spirit man !!
