[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.
@rafael Bro actually in some states all transgender persons are given free legal aid,they won't be treated as general rather as special category, in that case it won't matter whether they earn a lakh or 2. In that scenario the broader statement of them getting free legal services with annual income less than 2 lakh stands correct.The income limit of 2 lakh or 3 lakh what u r talking about in different states ofcourse means that even a person having 1.5 lakh is eligible in some states which is contradictory to statement 1 but that doesn't make a person earning less than 1 lakh ineligible in any case
There are 18 states in india whose income limit is 1lakh or 1lakh 50k or 15k .... above this limit is not allowed for free legal aid even if it is less than 2lakh.. how 2lakh limit apply on them ? U r nt getting it r u ?
Equalizer,
Correct.. 2019 key me 9 Different hai sankar ke UPSC official key se.
And .. Nobody is reputed ... because .. all are more or less same. Good for static but .. No institute cam figure out or teach dynamic syllabus properly. .. and so is the answer key.
Aur .. aaj kal I doubt static knowledge of institutes too.
Sankar made a mark by Environment material though. That book is really great. But , I would say ...There is no permanency in reputation. Teachers change, MANAGEMENT changes.. institute culture changes and so be the reputation changes and falls many a times.
Agreed ....there was a time ( when gs 1 of prelims was less important and people used to qualify pre with csat) when static portion was given a lot of importance because to write good answers you are required to be rock solid with static knowledge.Then ,came 2016 prelims paper .A complete current affairs oriented paper .From there on coachings made a paradigm shift in their approach .Every Tom ,Dick ,Harry scheme of government has become a topic of detailed discussion. Craze of current affairs has reached to a level that in the last couple of months of preparation (before the exam )students read only current affairs and government schemes .Basic books like NCERT ,spectrum and Lakshmikant are not even touched .Coachings having realised this demand and are busy pumping in more and more current affairs.Meanwhile ,focus on developing good static content and updating it with time is ignored .
And .. I am really sick of .. Lot of institutes who proliferated under the disguise of teachIng Current Affairs .. become a ful fledged IAS academy... teaching everything up to interview .. and with questionable intents.
For ex :
last minute offer .. 200 schemes 500 Rs.
International org. all in 3 hours 1100 Rs
etc etc.
Barbaad to inhone kara hai baccho ko. Its like a chaat shop now .. You can pick and choose ingredients as per will. and so on so forth.
But, This year paper(even hint was there from 2017) ki .. ye Nahi chalega... Properly pad ke aao to hi ache marks aayenge.
Anyway... Free country.
The blame should be equally shouldered by irresponsible megalomaniacs who once they see themselves in the list will take money from such institutes to sell "hacks" in the name of crash course and be inspiring junta to do more mocks religiously in their pep talks.
If the only selling pitch the coachings have is to show those 20 25 questions (that anyone could have done reading laxmikanth, and even after that giving wrong answers, as in preamble and minister one) then they should hang their heads in shame.
The ROI of doing mocks is tbh pretty poor. Rather do PYQ to get feel of such things like marking D in snt.
Same goes for mains. You are the content differential. Everyone will write mains 365. But go the extra mile and get better content. It does get rewarded. Not so much in gs, but in essays and optional, its the game changer.
Lastly. And very importantly. The whole fear regarding prelims is much less for IFOS bunch. I mean a guy preparing for ifos almost always has a 8 10 mark edge over a civilguy. Upsc since 2017 has very very sincerely made a paper where at least some questions will give ifos people privilege. Things just took a nasty bend this year. The fact that a civil guy has to know nasty little known facts about forests, and ecology, which aren't even gonna be anywhere in his domain, is pretty much laughable.
Also, if you think next year se hum agri ka booklet padhke jaenge, wait before UPSC makes some SEBI/RBIesque paper 😂🤣
Actually...
As far as I know from all questions and my preparation
1. Except few question (almost 15) all question can be answered from static studies of regular books+NCERT.
2. Regular reading of newspaper is more important ... though monthly magazine and compilation has its purpose. But , The questions were asked in such manner which require like ... If somebody is reading newspaper and living with exam .. could be answered very easily.
3. We did not expected paper like this... So, Performance gone down. That's the only reason. Nothing is out of resources though except few.
But, It can never be said that the regular holistic way of studying only regular books , newspaper and one of good magazine is not sufficient to attempt 80 to 90 questions in this exam. The regular holistic mode of preparation is remain what is required.
Also, Repeating guys(some freshers too if they got free money) fall more in to trap of 3 minute study shops and 10 min unacademy videos . But, In totality, Things remains same ... Holistic study and thorough understanding of syllabus and current events is crux . Compilations lost value because UPSC pre is again going analytical like old days ... and left its flavour of asking pointed current(as from 2011 to 2016 to 18) . For ex - During preparation ... People do not debate on concepts now a days(that is post prelim work)☺️, Before that , We believe whatever we have read we have clear concepts.. But actually .. even on simple polity things .. we are not able to drive single absolute answer for few questions.
Just my personal opinion.

I think a lot of people r confusing with AI
Music and AI song.It is easy to create AI generated music but difficult to create song
In the AI question-it asked meaningful short stories and songs.

The songs also still require professional mixing and mastering, as the Flow Machines software doesn't yet have the capability to produce that itself.

But after reading it I found-It lacks the prowess to follow basic music structure. You’ll notice there aren’t any repeating hooks or lyrical bridges.Unfortunately, you can’t get Jukebox to generate new music just yet.

Chill and enjoy. Mains ka pado.

For that eligible to vote can be made a minister question, SC has given guidelines long back (2001) in Jayalalitha case. Pasting from an article in The Hindu
As a general rule, a person can become a Minister only if he is a member of the Legislative Assembly or the Legislative Council. Article 164(4) states that a person cannot continue as Minister for more than six months if he is not a member of the legislature by that period.

@Adi_das The only disputed questions imo are TBill, Preamble and AI.. rest everyone is making a meal out of it. Theres an outside chance ki 1-2 other answers can Surprise you but thats it.Idhar people were desperate to prove even desukar wrong 😂😂. Then science and tech ka to baat hi kya.i myself have the second best answer to nalsa (d) judicial review (d) aadhar ( c) but they are wrong...so if you are 93+ after leaving the 3 questions which I mentioned previously, theres a 90% probability you are writing mains.. 100% koi nai bol sakta
Preamble is not even in doubt. Only those who have marked A are hopelessly trying to make it controversial
