[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.

@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.


To all senior citizen or qualified senior citizen in state like Jharkhand.

@Udit_pathak brother upsc prefer general statements......I am saying that directly govt control price of urea only....for other it provide subsidies and indirectly influence prices.
before 1990 govt used to control prices of all chemical fertilisers but gradually it decontrolled prices of all fertilisers except urea......now can u say govt control prices of other fertilisers in same way as of urea?? NO 
see this link ....research of whole fertiliser policy of india ....u can clearly see govt has decntrolled prices of other fertilisers except urea

@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 that scheme benefit is not provided to all the citizens, only those already getting benefit under nalsa act, 1987. Now coming to option 1, in no state ceiling is less than 1 lac so it's correct. OBC is wrong. Regarding transgender 2 lac is criterion only in delhi. In other states it's not mentioned in the statute, someone plz through light. However it appears in other state there is no provision 4 transgender. So only statement 1 is correct. I hv marked 1 and 4 and taking it wrong off course.

Bro read the note which is given on the bottom of the page which says that LEGAL AID will be given to those senior citizens which are covered under section 12 subject to income limits but other legal services such as assistance to government schemes, legal awareness will be provided to ALL SENIOR CITIZENS free of cost. In the question it is just given free legal services. Now it is upto upsc's interpretation of legal services.

@Badluram Exactly. I second your opinion. Most of the Passage related Questions are Subjective in what is supposed to be an Objective Paper. I rather feel UPSC shall consider accommodating two best possible answers for Subjective passages as was done in case of Decision making questions in 2013,2014,2015. I have represented the same in UPSC portal. Nothing else can be done at this stage other than representing and waiting for the turn of our destiny. Lets hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

@rafael the difference is accessibility to blockchain and creation of applications using blockchain. Anyone can create applications on blockchain without permission. Permissioned blockchains are restricted in accessibility.

NALSA also has state components so states can also decide criteria ,in my district there is a nalsa internship cell which only has district level criterias ...no doubt in it all senior citizens r covered ...

Is there any state where free legal services are provided to all the senior citizens?

93-94 mushkil hai. Last year se maximum 2 marks kam ho sakta hai. 
Reason
1. Vacancies 100 less than last year. So straight away 1300-1400 less would appear for mains.
2. CSAT was comparatively easier this time. Still many are on the edge 
3. Many debatable questions in gs1 this time. 
So considering everything, cutoff may hover in 96-99 range for general.
But this would be by upsc key.

Bilkul. High chances but as per official key not shankar/ vaji/ vision/ insights. There's variatio in 4 to 5 key every year. That's y we see many with 105 Could not make it and many with 95 clear it. If most of ur doubtful questions like AI, NALSA, MINISTER is wrong as per coaching there's high chance u will clear. I am also in same level...94 after dropping Gandhi irwin so I know the anxiety.
