[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

Part 4 .Matlab agar kisi ne parts me jara bhi dhyaan nahi diya hoga laxmi padte time .. to ??ye question frame karne waala mahaan aadmi hai.aur us se bhi mahaan .. 1lac rs waale. I loved that question. M1, m2, m3 ke calculation ka old NCERT me maine sawal kiya tha. Same to same. That was a really nice question.
I did those questions with very less time at hands and made 6 silly mistakes i shouldn't have. Shouldn't have spent so much time thinking and worrying about first 70 questions. Had c set unfortunately, all the easy questions at the end. This was a disaster.
Guys, the question on AI applications. I feel the answer should be "1, 3 and 4". Because:
(1)the question asks applications at "present state of development".
(2)wireless transmission of electricity utilizes RFID/magnetic field coils which itself is a nascent technology and AI has no bearing on it at present.
(3)AI can write formulaic stories at present which can help for news reporting. Experts predict only by "2060" it would be able to write "bestsellers".
Emerald24,Getting 96 acc to forum keys and 98.6 acc to Shankar. Don't know whether to slog for mains or not?? This situation is the worst where u don't know for sure whether u are in or out..
If you have attempted almost all questions and have left out doubtful questions for calculation of marks, I say go for it.
The best "evidence" of whether an exam was easy or tough is available in that 3 hour gap between paper 1 and paper 2. People already had an expectation of the difficulty levels of order of 2018 and 2019. Now, that's not exactly what you can call "easy". So people were mentally prepared already for a 2019 esque question. And even after that they were feeling burned and bummed by this years prelims.
Exactly shows how *easy* it was.
Cutoffs will be 93 esque. Jiska 95se upar hain, lag jao. Ek toh ghatiya paper, upar se ghatiya turnout thanks to.covid.
Upsc will call round 10000 for mains anyhow.
Botanopu,
next time they may ask basics and facts found in books. This is UPSC. never forget that.
They did go basics in 2013 and cutoff soared that year. 2016 was easy too but not conventional basics
