Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@hirockyrocks7101
@sat_009(very good answers in gs +optional) .

@pra7009055Leaving 2 questions per paper is not ok if others are attempting all questions. Questions like McBride (2016 GS2) can be left where you have no idea, but this time aise question hardly koi tha. Even cyberdome type questions, people have written one page, so atleast 2 marks can be expected on general writeup. Many questions like multilevel planning were very general, and it is difficult to know whether you have written good quality answer compared to others.

result ka any insider infos?

@Yes_I_am_in
@Charlie_Charliegs topper this year.

@vvvikas0078212bhai result ka time aa gya h. ab kya hi matlb h in sab baaton ka k questions attempt nhi krne se marking par kitna asar parega.

@vvvikas0078212Ok. But question like MS Swaminathan, vulnerability, isro plans, and many specific type questions. People may not know exact answer. What do u say?

@zombielandsahi kaha...ab to toppers ki list bnao

@pra7009055MS Swaminathan ka agriculture se link people know, Vulnerability pe bhut kuch likha ja skta hai as people study disaster management, and ISRO ka pta hai India was having cryogenic, Vehicle reentry experiments and other things chal rhe hai So obviously India may plan in future. Even if you don't know specifics, lots of points can be written.

@zombielandHa bhai, but ab kuch toh karna hi hai result tak, yhi sahi

@zombielandso that we can have a list of what went wrong
qki mains result k baad koi ques discuss nahi karne wala

@pra7009055How did you find socio paper? Commodity Fetishism? Civil Society and Science Policy? These questions seemed tough. I wrote quite generic answers. And specifically paper 2. How did you write demonetization, interlinking of rivers from sociological perspective? Quite worried.

@pra7009055this tym each n every question had something relevant to write unlike past years.swaminathan is also one of them.
Saying that i also left 10 marks each in all gs papers but it was due to lack of time only.

@Scorpion888you guys are right I feel so. Something could be written for sure instead of leaving totally blank. Overall 15-20 marks could be gained. It was lack of practice from my side. Let’s see what happens.

@Scorpion888Sometimes I get chills thinking that people even wrote good answers for CAT, harmonious construction & federal supremacy, article 368,CAG,service sector, Indian society unique in sustaining its culture, integrated farming system and institutional measures to ensure integrity type of questions.

@awesome_123commodity fetishism was given in NITIN Sangwan book. I didn’t attempt demonetisation group of questions. Interlinking I could write. We can talk on call or msg.

@pra7009055arre khul ke baat Karo bhai yaha, apna hi forum hai.

@pra7009055last year i left one 10 marker and one 15marker in each paper and in last ques i could write jus one page.
I got 382 in total
So quality of answers matter.

@awesome_123Same pinch!

@Scorpion888now see u urself are example. And are there no people selected finally who left questions?

@Scorpion888If u had attempted those, wouldn't you have gained 20 more marks. Quality matters, but almost same quality rakh ke quantity can be increased also
