[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.

Bhailog, I have a doubt.

In the question (10^n +1)= 2, can 'n' be counted as a digit ?  If yes, then the answer should be option (a) only. Please enlighten. TIA

I have doubts in 3-4 questions

1) factors affecting rice price --In my opinion Government trading should not b there as There is no such thing(FCI do not have any profit loss account, MSP is not trading, APEDA is  involved in basmati but  not direct trade but promotion of export etc)

2)non financial debt waala question I have marked Treasury bills only(it purely depends on what UPSC wants to ask so pure luck factor here ,lets see)

3) Growth rate in rural employment has decreased (in my opinion this isn't correct as post liberalization growth in employment has been seen across india(india is still 70-80% rural and without rural job growth overall job growth isn't possible,jobs shifted from agri to non agri)

4) Minister waala question I have marked 1 only though it seems it is wrong 

5)There is no minimum no of days parliament is required to meet in a year(All coaching rely on IE article and no other sources) ---Atleast twice in a year itself mean MPs will have to come 2 days???

Completely agreeing with you on rural economy, almost completely on minimum parliament and partially on rice and non financial debt.

This time upsc has played with the mind of the aspirants especially in science and tech. It knows very well log all correct manenge, lets play with them. And it has made coaching keys unreliable. 

Indeed. All coaching teaching students in S&T mark only ALL. cheat, hack, these may work for a year but not always.

This 2 day concept is very vague.

In rice u r correct. Govt trading is due to price fluctuation not other way around. Government trade to stabilize the price. But coaching key due to cognitive bias towards all of these.

Step 1 - Tukka maro exam me(Desher katha,Rakhmabai)

Step 2 - check karo kisi bhi ans key ne hamara ans sahi dia hai kya aur agar haan toh fir step 3 pr jao

Step 3 - Internet pr phd krke fruitless debates karo aur mains ki prep ka time kharab karo

Story of every year!!!

Thousands of aspirants cleared prelims every year by using this trick either D or eliminate extreme statements.

@Rakhmabai If There is no minimum no of days parliament should meet then answer can be ZERO DAYS also but thats not the case. Parliament must assemble atleast twice .

Bhai, this makes sense. If you take the logic of coaching keys, then Open Market Sale Scheme will be exactly opposite and counter productive to what it is aiming for.

@Equalizer actually trading by definition means buying and selling for profit, government do intervene through open market sale but that is to only drop the prices by boosting supply but they do not engage in buying, they only purchase through msp which was already there in option, thud to my understanding government trading should be eliminated.

Same goes for chemical fertilizers, there is only one fertilizer that is urea which is administered by government, rest others like nitrogen, pottasium, phosphorus and other micro nutrient fertilizers are retail market driven, you can go on Amazon and check there prices vary from retailer to retailer.
