Sabhi ke saath aisa hota hai
Aap ye yaad rakho ki exam ke time me 5-6 hours se jyada koi sota nahi ( in fact need hi nahi aati ) aur information etna overload ho jata hai ki exact answer likhna bahut hi muskil ho jata hai ( time limit me )
Sabhi ke sath aisa hota hai ....ki ye bhi likh deta ....o bhi add kar deta...
Jaisa mere hi optional me ek question tha "urbanism a way of life" ( maine slums aur middle class ko likha ) ....ab soch raha tha ki ye bhi likh deta like Digital dinning ( swiggy zomato ), Digital dating ( tinder ), digital doctor etc.
Yahi to es exam ki khoobshurti hai ki RAJA, RANK, SIPAHI, sab barabar hai ....winner wahi hoga jo mains ki copy me 50-60 percent be exam ki demand puri kar ke aaiga.
Don't worry u will be in ....good luck
@DKTu r right about the sleep and memory fact..good luck to u too for the mains results!

Ab last year cutoff se fifty-seventy plus hi ban raha ( taking 55 to 60 percent in GS and 70 percent in optional )
Baki mere marks ki puri details maine previous comments me de diya hai
Essay me lagta hai ki marks milega ( individual vs society and south asian society .....my optional sociology but in both essay two books helped me a lot in first essay Sapiens and in second essay AL bhasam )
Baki yar UPSC kya dega marks 6 se 7 din me pata chal jaiga.
@Shubz
mjhe seriously lgrha ki cut off max 750 rhne wala hai
considering last yr dip in cut off when difficulty level of questions were increased as compared to 2018
gs papers especially 2 and 3 were difficult as compared to previous yr
optional was also relatively difficult
@DKT
cut off se 50 marks to kafi safe hai interview me ache marks mile to ias bnjaoge bhai
@TETRACYCLINE
Hopeful hu yar ki sab achha hi hoga .....rest UPSC will decide.
@DKT

Thanks bro.
Ppl say half truth n dialogues about hardwork n ignore luck.
If hard work alone n no luck then g Atal Bihari Vajpayee waited 40 years to become PM but Rajeev Gandhi got it so easily. Was A B Vajpayee lazy n Rajeev the most hardworking in India that time.
In 2009 election Manmohan became PM n the ine who worked the hardest throughout his life for PM post ie Advani never became PM.
I don't want to engage in useless debate here but labour is over exaggerated n luck ignored.
luck comes into play when two or more people are at the exact same level and you can't explain why one fared better than the other(s).
regarding vajpayee and rajeev gandhi, they were not placed similarly. one had to make a place for himself, the other was a scion of you-know-which family. so talking about luck doesn't hold here.
For Manmohan too, same thing can be said. his character as a silent, wise and acquiescent person was the factor in sonia gandhi choosing him for the prime ministerial post. advani as a personality does not enjoy the popularity which is required to become a pm, taking into account that he is not from a gandhi family, or one of its sycophants, or one who is in their good books (manmohan).
this exam ages you...not only physically, and even if not physically for some, who are lucky enough to sail through early on...but this exam ages you mentally too.
mentally not as in you becoming more mature and so on. but more like you become old from inside. your desires are smothered, your hopes falter, your confidence plummets, and all that remains is your fragile self.
it's tragic that many have went into oblivion with their unsung tears. it's still more tragic that many will follow.
i can relate to the ending scenes of 'the irishman' where frank sheeran seeks solace in the soothing words of father. consolation is the prize, aarghhhhh.
fall down 7 times, stand up the 8th time... yeah yeah... now stop with this bs.
the story of unfailing resilience is so overrated. any person has a threshold beyond which he is bound to break down. no one can be infinitely elastic.
those who stand up the 8th time, and find what they seek for, might be the ones who wouldn't have stood up the 9th time, had they fallen down the 8th time. but now that they were not tried further on, they walk away wearing the shibboleth of perseverance and resilience.
everything has a limit.

Every word u said is pure gold. Many youths have been battered and many more will go down the drain. Of all the things one must not make clearing this exam an ego issue.
Cut-offs vary across categories at all stages. Even someone getting way less marks will be an IAS and others wont be. I have personally seen pain in eyes of people not getting desired services and their peers getting one at less marks.
One must realise when is the right time for oneself to plug out of race and seek fulfillment of human existence through other means.
