[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 In rest of the states  there is no category listed of transgender,  so merged with general then their celing should also be 1lakh.
How come we arrive at any definitive answer? answer should be only from these 2.
 free legal aid is not asked, a user here pointed out that some legal services are provided to all senior citizen like hearing aid with no ceiling.

@Carpediem There is one viewpoint which can defend the question.It says Legal service authorities in India provide free legal services to ------ which can mean any SLSA or DLSA or at national level.
For transgenders-atleast it is in Delhi.If there is no state which All senior citizens get free legal aid,then I m sad that answer will be 1 n 2

Reason--UPSC is a pathetic body.
It just picks things without applying brains.

@shubham4_m7770 While transgender below 2 lac is mentioned only in context of delhi, I Found one thing  common in all States faq

All senior citizens who are entitled to legal aid under Section 12 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987 shall be provided legal aid on a priority basis.

Though this dosent match the exact verbatim  of the question but 1&2 dosent look right either

This was my 5th attempt. Didn’t clear prelims in last 4 years of my preparation. Scoring 120–130 from various answer keys but unfortunately on the borderline in CSAT. May be this prelims curse would continue for one more year now.

The only true controversial questions


1. Non financial debt. Well the definition of this is problematic af. Most webpages have this written as "issuer" of debt, in which case 3 only. Reading it in context of ibc its 3 only. 

2. Minister ->6 months (this to me should be D, but UPSC has used the word "can", and there's no limiting terms like all or any, so can't rub off the notion that UPSC treats that as a general statement)


3. Desher katha. This will ultimately depend on what UPSC considers was deuskars context. Chances are towards 1n2 though.

Don't think rest are doubtful or anything. Rakhmabai is settled at 2n3 and preamble should be D as SC clearly stated that the objectives of preamble are a part of basic structure, and secularism has been kept as a reason for using 356 in bommai. Also, FRs do reflect objectives of the preamble. Thus while obviously the idea of liberty equality doesn't have a legal sanction associated, you can obviously generate a legal sanction wrt the FR that guarantees u the same.


Blockchain, AI aren't really controversial. We shouldn't take every question that some other institution has marked different as controversial, coz then unacadrmys jatin verma has lisa pathfinder as answer, which we should accept is wrong.


Apart from these there will be added impact of cancellation of the gandhi irwin question. That's most probably 2 marks gone for all, which means cutoff will drop by 2 marks, in all probability.

Really. If it is so send representation with documentary proof. In that case upsc will listen. If in any state, all senior citizens getting free legal services, then there's no difference between 2 & 4.
