[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.

@Udit_pathak yes urea is chemical fertiliser and its price are controlled by govt but for other fertilisers it is market driven.

Hey everyone, Hope you all are doing good! Coming back here after 3-4 days and the discussion is on in it's full swing. I have missed a lot of it and looks that it will be difficult to cover. Hence, a request if someone can answer these questions

  1. Has there been an agreement on most accurate answer key? And if someone can share few of them? (Forumias calculator gives me option only for Forum and shankar currently) 
  2. Someone was making a list of disputed questions, was that pursued further? 
  3. Has there been any rough agreement on a cutoff range? 

If someone can help, it would be great. Thanks.

Bro I really hope you're right!!!
I have started preparing for mains, although a little less motivated but not trying to think a lot about cut off. 
Better prepare for next stage than regret later.

Regarding Desher Katha question one thing which can be seen in most of the history questions asked by UPSC in recent past that all options given be correct has very less probability. Atleast my personal experience says so that in history questions examiner will give atleast one wrong option to check candidate's knowledge.

Legal service authority ka kaise sahi hai? Just asking not arguing. All senior citizen cover hote hain kya? Kindly reply.

@AB007007 how?? I too marked Sundarban considering both indian and Bangladeshi areas.but problem is critical tiger habitat phrase was in inverted commas so it implies definition as per wlp act,1971 of India and Bangladeshi area of Sunderban wouldn't be considered at all.. correct me if I am wrong..

@Equalizer a scheme has been launched by NALSA in 2016 to provide free legal service covering all the senior citizens ( Google Nalsa free legal service to senior citizens)

In Legal Services Authority Question maximum coaching keys have relied upon Delhi's criteria for income limit for transgenders i.e 2,00,000.

Similarly one can also argue that Haryana Legal Services Authority covers ALL Senior Citizens irrespective of income so option 4 can also be considered in that case.

In my opinion UPSC should cancel this question as there is no uniform policy for availing legal services across India.

@Equalizer free legal services to senior citizens scheme 2016  can provide you some insight, also only delhi is providing legal services to transgender, rest many states provide legal services to senior citizens example, jharkhand, Kerala, haryana etc.
