[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?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

Considering user charge as A

Genome transfer as C

Economic liberalisation 1sr part C and second D

Solid waste C

And in paper 1 96.2 considering (desh) 1 and 2 only as correct 

Being obc, should I move for preparation Ahead

Economic liberalization can go anywhere ...rest all r correct..

I am already out  so please take this view as obejctive view as i have no stakes involved .How can we guess the crux of whole article by viewing few  statements from it .People who have searched  all articles have done a excellent  job but if upsc is assuming that people can get the assumption of passage by reading it ,which is just a few line from the article it is certainly  a foolish assumption  itself .upsc need to be more serious about selecting candidates for highest buersratic offices of country.

U right bro..the problem lies in framing question...the question starts with assumption...which means we have to consider ,what  going in mind of author...which makes things difficult ..the more analytical approach would be to see 2019 RC answer from official answer N then reading original article..

Bhai jo yeh article mein hai...should now we treat it as final ..or abhi there is controversy regarding them....????

Bhai nothing is final...but IMO..its better approach than relying on coaching answers...

@TabsAndChords general category seems like a curse now.
No offence to anyone! But it's a sad state of reality.
Discrimination in the name of affirmative action! 


Yes without any offence to anyone, yesterday I was just imagining if I were an SC/ST candidate no tension of cut off, attempt etc. I am not against reservation as such but it should be rationalised, like creamy layer in SC/ST, decreasing it to 

30% etc. Again I don't want to hurt anybody sentiment.

I don't think you have to justify yourself too much here. Even the reserved candidates would agree that they wouldn't want to be on the other side of that 50% in present circumstances..

Just want the experienced candidates to clarify if institutes usually keep the cut off low to attract students to mains centric courses or this year is the first time they've put the cut off in the early 90s?

yes even i am surprised. have seen trend of 3 years. never have coaching walas been so relaxed in estimating such a low cutoff. something doesnt feel right. maybe its because everyone is wrongly seeing last years cutoff as some standard. and yes they do give a slightly lower range, but it is very cloase to real cutoff.

Thank you :)

It seems there's no point in speculating any further. If the luck favours, no point in losing out due to lack of prep. So time to get back to the books. 


All the best everyone who'll be writing mains :D

No dear. As I already said last year vision predicted 95 to 105.
