[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.

@Pantheon there are high chances of you clearing. You might end up getting over 80 in CSAT. Just get into mains zone right now. I know this is easier said than done but to keep on finding new answer keys which might bring down your source can do you more harm than good. All the best.

i think ibc code applies to financial corporations/entities only. hence debt owed by them is financial debt. households, individuals and certain companies- do not belong to finance sector. the debt they owe is hence non financial debt.

there is no doubt that only 3 is wrong. all 3 are non financial debt. even i marked 3 only. its wrong. for sure.

It has increased my marks to 85 from current 75. I still think that 3-4 passages are a bit wrong like that Asset allocation, malnutrition etc. But I think I will keep running around in circles by checking different answer keys as in every key I am getting 70+ so I should be safe. Should start mains prep asap.

Most of my friends are scoring 7-12 marks more than their last year score. All of them(except one) qualified pre last year. Seeing the trend on online polls and marks of other people, there has been a general increase of 5-10 marks in the scores of people. But there is a broad opinion among the coaching institutes that the paper was slightly difficult this year compared to last two years. Still people are scoring more this year. Maybe because the guesses have worked this time. 

Is anyone else observing a general increase of level of marks compared to last year in their social circles????
